If you're getting married in the beautiful county of Devon, you're in for a treat. From the stunning coastal views to the rolling hills of Dartmoor, Devon has a wealth of beautiful landscapes to provide the perfect backdrop for your special day. And what better way to capture those memories than with a Devon based  wedding photographer?

Choosing a wedding photographer is a crucial part of planning your big day. Your photos are what you'll look back on for years to come, so it's important to choose a photographer who’s wedding style you like.  Take time to look at their portfolio and decide which one you like the most. 

When it comes to wedding photography in Devon, there are many talented photographers to choose from. But what sets a wedding photographer apart from the rest? Here are just a few things to consider:

Experience
A good wedding photographer should have plenty of experience under their belt. They should  have a keen eye for capturing those special moments. When searching for a  wedding photographer, take a look at their portfolio and make sure they have experience shooting weddings similar to yours or your like the way they capture and edit images and would like your wedding to be done in the same way. 

Style
Every photographer has their own unique style. Some may prefer a more traditional approach, while others may favour a more contemporary or photojournalistic style. When choosing a  wedding photographer, consider what style you prefer and make sure you pick one who’s style you like. 

Personality
Your wedding photographer will be with you throughout your big day, so it's important that you get along with them. You want a photographer who is professional, but also friendly and approachable. You will have at least video call meeting with your photographer or a pre wedding meeting in person before you book or before your big day. If you prefer someone non obtrusive who captures lots of natural moments I might be the photographer for you. To read more about how I work and contract please click here. 

Professionalism
Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, so it's essential that your wedding photographer is professional and reliable. Look for a photographer who is responsive to your emails and phone calls and who has a clear contract outlining their services. I have a wedding guide also which I now send to my wedding clients of  2023. If you would like me to email you a copy please don’t hesitate to contact me. 

Packages and Pricing

Wedding photography packages can vary greatly, so it's important to choose a photographer who offers a package that fits your budget and needs. When considering pricing, keep in mind that you're not just paying for the photographer's time on the day of your wedding, but also for their time spent editing and retouching your photos afterwards which can take weeks. I always advise booking a photographer whose wedding style you love even if it is a smaller package rather than spending any money at all on a photographer who’s style you don’t really like (because well thats just a total waste of Money) Some people just staring out or doing it on the side might offer you a full days wedding for £600 but do you even like their style, if not then £600 is a lot of money to waste on a load of wedding photos you hate. Over the years many people have told me they didn’t like their wedding photographs and it was always because they didn’t hire a professional. So much time and expenses go into running a professional wedding photography business. You will be paying over £1000 at least for a full days wedding for a professional At least, unless they are running a specific deal.

Reserve your date before it is too late

All professional wedding photographers will ask you to reserve your date with a deposit. If you really like the style of a wedding photographer and can see them capturing your day get the ball rolling and contact them to see if they are free. If they are reserve that date or someone else will and your search to find someone else’s style you like will have to start over again.

Overall, choosing the right wedding photographer is key to capturing the memories of your special day. By considering experience, style, personality, professionalism and pricing, you'll be able to find a photographer who can provide you with stunning images that you'll treasure for a lifetime.
