jimmyt101 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 When I got married a few years ago we used DMA Photography in Rotherham. We saw quite a few and these were not only the best but the best value for money. They are a couple so we got 2 photographers for the entire day and evening. When we got our album we also got some keyrings and DVDs and a calendar. http://www.dmaphotography.co.uk info@dmaphotography.co.uk 01709 530885 07906 752321 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Rock Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Have a look in the Wedding Group within the Groups section of the Forum. There are a number of photographers recommended there. You may find the group to be helpful in other areas too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms_Tetley Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Because the wedding photography market is massive you get a lot of un-qualified amateurs charging ( sometimes ) more than us professionals. Nowt wrong with amateurs but you should be paying to suit experience or you might get dissapointed. My advice would be .. When looking at the photographers website - make sure their is a wide variety of weddings shown . Client area's are good to look at to view previous work. Make sure the photographer lists their address and any contact numbers and email address - get a bit suss about the ones that don't and just have a contact box. Photographers that are members of professional groups such as the British Institute of Professional Photography or the Master photographers association after be in full time employment as I pro tog and also have to have full insurance .. they have to follow a strict code of conduct and they don't just let anyone join .. you can check out the photographers through their own websites. When meeting a pro tog .. make sure you see at least 3 different weddings to to make sure they are consistent throughout the full day. Make sure they are insured and have a backup just in case of illness or an accident. Make sure you know exactly what you get for your money. Pro's always carry back-up equipment so ask about that. Dont book anyone you feel a little uncomfortable with as it will show on your wedding pictures. Cant think of anything else at the moment Hope this helps.

sheff_saying Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I can recommend a really nice photographer used for my daughter's wedding: http://www.glassboxphotography.co.uk/ We were particularly impressed by his attention to detail - he offers a pre-Wedding photo-shoot and will work with you to plan exactly what you want. We have some stunning pictures to remember a lovely, happy day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve68 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Just remember its your big day, don't let the photographer make you do anything that you're uncomfortable with. I'd avoid the so called 'professional bodies endorsed photographers' that are only accredited by way of inhouse diplomas and by just paying a membership fee. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livestrong Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'd avoid the so called 'professional bodies endorsed photographers' that are only accredited by way of inhouse diplomas and by just paying a membership fee.Good luck Why would you avoid someone who may be perfectly good if they are associated with a professional organisation? That is the biggest load of crap I've heard in a while. As has already been said... check out the photographer's work from multiple weddings (all the way through each wedding). You need to know that someone can consistently deliver. Business Facebook pages as great for seeing what clients have said. Training means NOTHING (I have non). What someone can produce is what counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
