Choosing who to use to capture one of the biggest days of your life is a delicate process. Photographers vary in style, professionalism and price so finding your perfect match takes a little craft and guile. Here's our top tips on finding the perfect wedding photographer at the best price:

1. Set a clear brief. Photographers love a brief and to get the most out of them, it's best to provide them with a schedule of the moments you'd like them to capture. Do you want a photographer at the ceremony? Would you like to shoot the speeches? A schedule with timings and a clear brief will increase your chances of getting the images you've always imagined. 
2. What's your style? Wedding Photography is not just about what you'd like the photographer to shoot but also what type of photography style you'd like of your special day. Do you want a classic style with stunning, sleek and sophisticated images or a photographer who can shoot creative arty shots that you'll hang on the walls. Have a look at each photographer's portfolio before choosing your wedding photographer to see which style resonates with you the most. 
3. Go Pro. With cameras mounted on every phone, tablet and electronic device imaginable, there will be no shortage of amateur photographers taking pictures but not every iPhone enthusiast can take a great shot. A true professional photographer will provide you with stunning images of your wedding day and deliver them to you in high resolution for perfect print quality. It's an investment worth making as you will look over the day for the rest of your lives. Quick tips to know who's pro: a well written application/email, a strong varied portfolio showing experience and testimonials from satisfied clients. 
4. Set a realistic budget. How much does a wedding photographer cost? The answer depends on 3 things. Firstly, how many hours do you require the photographer's services? The average price for a full day's shoot is between £800 - £2000. The variation on price is due to quality which is number two on our list. A high-end experienced photographer could charge into the thousands but you should be able to secure an excellent wedding photographer for around £1000 for a full day.
