Most wedding bookings go well. The ones that don’t share a pattern. A few warning signs, usually visible before the booking was even confirmed.

A portfolio that only shows a handful of hand-picked images, with no way to see a full session, is worth questioning. So is a photographer who won’t put pricing or inclusions in writing, or who is vague about turnaround time when asked directly.

Reviews matter, but so does how a photographer responds to a less glowing one. A pattern of clients mentioning late delivery, or images that didn’t match the portfolio’s standard, is worth more than a wall of five-star ratings with no detail behind them.

FAQs

Some quick answers here.

Do you only shoot in London?
London is home, but weddings get covered across the UK. Travel beyond the M25 is arranged as part of the quote, so a countryside barn or a coastal registry office is no problem.

How would you describe the style?
Journalistic and unposed. A wedding gets shot the way it actually feels, not a series of stiff line-ups.

    Read a few guides before this one, and it’s the only one that actually explains how to choose a wedding photographer.
