Wedding Photographer Wales

As professional wedding photographers we often hear the same questions asked on a regular basis. With this in mind I have compiled a list of questions that hopefully will help couples choose the photographer that they feel is right for them. I realise that many wedding publications have published lists of such questions, but hopefully my experience and perspective as a wedding and portrait photographer will help you along the road to choosing the wedding photographer that’s right for you. You should also ask to view a complete album from one single wedding that the studio has produced (not a compilation of images from various weddings) and also ask the photographer to provide a list of references from previous clients.

Will you be the actual photographer shooting my wedding?
Are you a full time professional photographer?
Do you have any photographic qualifications?
Do you have more than one camera body? (in case of equipment malfunction)
Do you have more than one lens? (see above)
Do you offer both contemporary (reportage) and traditional styles of photography?
Are you willing to travel?
Do you offer an online proofing facility where friends and family are able to view and purchase prints?
Could you provide a more bespoke photography package tailored to our requirements?
Do you provide the digital files on CD/DVD in certain packages?
Do you include an album in all of your packages?
Do you shoot digital and film?
Do you offer a professional digital retouching and airbrushing service?
Are you fully insured?
Are you a qualified member of any photographic association? (e.g. the SWPP or WPJA)
Can you confirm that you won’t be covering another wedding or event on the same day as our wedding?
When shooting digitally do you shoot in digital RAW format? (This format offers the best quality digital capture available )
If you do shoot in RAW format are you experienced and proficient in processing these type of files?
Would you be able to offer a free demonstration on your RAW processing and digital airbrushing prior to us booking you?
Andrew Beveridge LSWPP, WPJA of Silver Birch Photography can answer YES to all of the above questions.
We also use portable flash heads and lighting for indoor photography during inclement weather and also off camera radio triggered strobes for outdoor work.
