i choose mine easily she is the daughter of the friend who is making our cake .......i have known her for 10 yrs and mr lala even longer ..... she did photography and fine arts degree at uni ... has already done some weddings and take very similar photos to me ....plus she is doing it as a wedding present

i have just this week had a meeting with the 2 i like still couldn't choose the styles were about the same so i emailed them both and explained i was finding it hard to pick. told one the other was a bit cheaper (which he was though got a little less in package) and told him she had a pre-wedding shoot in her package with a framed picture so how much extra would it be to included in his package. He mailed me back today to say he will include the pre-wedding shoot for free (normally £200) and would also include 4 10x8 prints of my choose from my wedding pictures as well as the package he usually does.

so looks like i'm off with him plus he was the one i liked the most anyway he sets up a mini photo shoot in the evening and people go in to have some fun shots done to add to the back of the wedding album looks really good its his take on the photo booth idea .

so if i was you i would do the same meet with them both and see what extra you can get included

didn't i read on another post that she messed you about and gave your date way or something why don't you email email and see if he will add another hour in the price tell him you have been offered 4 hours for the same price as him you don't have anything to loose and i would if it was me i would go with him just cos she messed you about in the first place and plastered it all over facebook xx

your welcome and you never know he might say yes wasnt expecting mine to throw it in for free though did hope he would give me a discount xx

good luck

We went to wedding fayres and had a look at the work on display and we also had some recommended by our other vendors. In the end we went with the one our florist recommended and he gave a discount for being transferred by them! excellent, his work is amazing and he gave a good package. Prep up until first dance, him and an assistant, pre wedding shoot, a kenzo album, and 6 small albums for our families, all photos taken on a disk with copyright. It helps that H2B's hobby is phtography so he knew what he wanted. So we looked at ALOT of photographers!

im off to my first one next weekend then another in a few weeks though im mostly booked for everything thing now but might still pick up some ideas

Tbh, we booked a load of appointment meetings and basically saw 3 on one day and one the day after, - there was one we thought was a complete drip, another two we were ok with and pretty much comfortable with booking one over the other, then we met one and the meeting was over in 25 minutes, and we both just got really good vibes from him! I think it's a mix of personality and what you think of the albums they bring to you, as well as price and length of coverage - I'd suggest meeting up with a couple more and seeing how you feel, if they feel right you'll know :-)

I WON MINE IN A COMPETITION :)

We went to wedding fairs and found some then looked into them. In the end we met them with our kids and it was basically who we got on with and if they could get on with the kids (there will be quite a few at our wedding). Plus price came into it as we dont have a huge budget x

Our wedding venue recommended our photographer as he knows the castle inside out and he is also very easy to talk to and he has also worked with my Reverend and piper.

i literally type into google photographers in Leeds area and looked at their portfolio's and any i liked i email for availablity and cost (if it wasn't on their website) i fell in love with two photographers who had the pretty much same style so it was just a case of picking the one in our budget :-D

love him!
