Photographers??

Where are you Becky and what style of photographer are you looking for.

I know how you feel when looking for a photographer? just too many of them but we all travel on here I think.?

Hi Becky! This is the right place to start looking for a great and reliable photographer. We all travel and we will be more than happy to help you and answer all your questions!

Hello Becky,

We spent absolutely ages looking for our photographer and came across www.himandherweddingphotography.co.uk
I'm so pleased we found them! Let me know who you go with in the end, will be interested to see x

Hi Becky (*Waves*)

As others have said, most of us are willing to travel but first of all I always advise brides to figure out what style of photography they'd like. You can do this for example by going on Pinterest and pinning your favourite photos to a board. Then take a look at them. Are they natural ones, funny ones or romantic posed ones? Are they vintage theme, clean...etc. etc.

Once you've a better idea of what style of photography you want then you can start looking for a photographer. At this stage having a budget in mind would be useful. Photographer's vary in price from £100-£3000+ In very general terms though you do get what you pay for.

Obviously Hitched has a directory full of talented and wonderful photographers! It's as good a place to start looking as anywhere else! ?

But yes, first find out what you want then find who you want.

Hmmm I smell spam!

That's was my thoughts as well, only one wedding on that site as well, be careful.

Who what? What did I miss?

Hello

not sure where you live but our wedding photographer is Lucy Wallace. She is a reportage style photographer based in Cornwall but I believe she travels, especially to London quite a lot. She is great if you want a relaxed feel to the day

First time poster signed up today to ask for TOG recs.

In the same thread another first time poster who also signed up today comments to recommend a TOGS website.

I'll let you make your own conclusions

oops didn't realise about the first poster☹️

Just to clarify, not all wedding photographers travel the UK for all their weddings all of the time. Many will largely work in their core base area (home county and those around) whilst there are some that will go anywhere in the UK for a wedding. The thought of a Friday wedding in Dundee, Saturday one in Exeter and a Sunday wedding in Glasgow is simply unworkable and potentially detrimental to the clients coverage.

Obviously alot depends on your buget and where you live, and of course the style of photography your looking for. I must have looked at websites for over 30 Togs before I picked mine (Bruce Neville who replied to your post earlier). I found that a lot of sites onky have a few pics from each wedding so it was hard to get a real idea of what the photographers work was really like, but Bruce's had hundreds. There are alo big differences in what you get for your money. Sometimes you get a set number of photos, sometimes all the photos, sometimes unedited photos and sometimes edited. Its the biggest decision after the venue and dress so well worth taking your time over

Aside from style and quality of photos, one of my main concerns was that my photographer was familiar with my venue. I only looked at photographers who had worked there before, as the grounds are vast and I didn't want to waste any time finding the right 'spots' for photos. Someone who knows the place and knows what works is a must for me.

Im dealing with one element of the wedding at a time, and at the moment all I can think about is photographers. I'm really excited with who we've picked. Sorry if that looks like spam =/ I dont really understand how it is spamming though? Was interested to see what other people thought about it and who they were picking, I thought people would think the same. Like I said, when you decide who you've picked, let me know

Have transport and not afraid to use it too. I quite like the travel element of this job.

Spam or not spam, it's nice that we all get together in the one post every now and again. I'm sure it'll be useful to a few people

I'm confused as to whether this is spam or not but in case anyone is seriously tog hunting, I'd advise narrowing your search by style and budget first and googling based on those!

If it's not spam (!) go with Marianne she is awesome!!! I hate having my photo taken and I love all my (oops I mean our!) photos!
