CHOOSING YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

• How many shots will be taken?
• How many photographs will be in the album?
• Is the cost of the album included?
• Are there other presentation options (CD or online for example) included in the cost?
• Is travel included?
• Will you need to provide any food or drinks?
• Is any image manipulation included in the cost?
• What size will the photographs be?
• How many photographers will be there on the day?
• Who will get to keep the proofs and is there an option to buy them and their associated copyright?

It is important that you find out all the answers to the above before signing on the bottom line. You should expect to pay anywhere from £500 upwards, although the average cost is somewhere around treble that figure.

Whichever photographer you decide to use, make sure they tick all the right boxes – a family friend may offer a substantial saving, but unless they are really, really good (or you are really, really desperate!) then stick to the pro’s.
