| 7 Ways To Find The One For You |
 Once the champagne has been finished and the most important day of your life draws to a close, your photographs will be the one lasting record of the romance, emotion - and the planning and attention to detail - that made it such a memorable occasion. If you’re not happy with the photos, it’s practically impossible to recreate them after the event. Photographs are memories in the making so choose your photographer carefully. Here are seven steps Phil Evans, (the UK’s First Master Craftsman with the Guild of Wedding Photographers), suggests that you can take to make sure that you find THE ONE for you:
1 Ask to see examples of their work. Its important that these are recent and of complete weddings and not just a selection of their best pictures. A good photographer should be able to show you preview wedding pictures from which previous couples have made their final album selection. 2 Your wedding album should capture the whole story of your special day and there should be a good mix of portraits, groups and story-telling pictures – so check that your photographer will stay to record the whole event. A good photographer will take as many photos as time and opportunity allow – without intruding upon your special day. 3 Make sure that you meet your actual photographer – and like them. Having your photo taken should be fun for both you and your guests. Only by having a good rapport with you photographer will you relax and enjoy yourselves in front of the camera, so examine the facial expressions the photographer has captured to see if people look as though they are enjoying themselves. 4 Check that your photographer will visit the venue with you (no matter how many weddings they may have done there before) to discuss your ideas. They should use this as an opportunity to get to know you both and to find out why your venue is special to you, so that it is reflected in your photographs. 5 A professional will be able to give you plenty of advice when asked, on how the day should run, how long things will take. However, they will never forget that it is your day and that you call the shots, but will work quickly and without any fuss to make sure that you have plenty of time to celebrate with your guests. 6 Wedding photography is a specialist field, so book an expert in the field rather than someone who is part time or usually takes portrait shots in the controlled environment of a studio and certainly don’t leave the responsibility to a friend or relative - it simply isn’t being fair to them. 7 Look out for the logo of The Guild of Wedding Photographers UK.
