When to book photographer

You might not. Especially if you're having a Saturday wedding.

Good photographers book up fast - I would be looking to sort that sharpish.

I booked mine as soon as I could. I think we did it 10 months before the wedding as we had a tight budget and the few TOGS that we researched and looked good, some were fully booked! It depends and varies really so IMO I would suggest to do your research and just enquire about availability! Hope this helps

Your mum is right imo, you should probably start looking as soon as possible.

This we booked ours as soon as we booked our venue/registrar and set the date (which was 2 year in advance)

After the church and venue, the tog is the next thing on our list. We're going to meet our probable tog on Monday - we know she is available on our date but that's only because I made sure she was as I love her work.

Our photographer is very popular. His coming round tonight to go through the packages for our wedding thats in July 2015

I booked mine last month for next September. I got in touch in April.

We're meeting with ours at the beginning of August to see her work and hopefully put down a deposit there and then. When we first inquired, she already had people asking about our weekend. That was in June, almost 2 years before the wedding.
