By now everyone in the UK will have heard about the couple who successfully sued wedding photographer Gareth Bowers over his appalling lack of quality and service, and this is a good opportunity to remind future brides and grooms what they should be looking for in a wedding photographer. A camera does not make a good photograph, a good photographer does.
Here are some key points to consider when looking for a wedding photographer.
It is absolutely vital that you see a representative sample of the photographer’s own work, either on their website but preferably in print. This is not only to ensure that the images are of a certain technical standard, but also that you like the style of photography.
You can view a sample of our wedding photography here.
If at all possible meet with the photographer to discuss your requirements and to see if you actually like them.
We meet wedding clients in Cumbernauld, half way between Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Check that they really are ‘professional’ in the legal sense, i.e. are they registered with Inland Revenue, do they have adequate indemnity and liability insurance, do they back-up image files off site for data security?
We are fully-fledged tax paying professionals, with proper insurance, Enhanced Disclosure Scotland clearance and a robust data security process.
Do they have recommendations from previous clients?
Our clients are happy people. Click to see what they say.
Who do you get on the day?
When you book with Stuart Walker Photography, that’s who you get. There is a good reason the company is called that.
Perhaps the the highest accolade, when they are unable to provide cover for a particular date who do other photographers recommend?
We have recieved several bookings as a result of referrals from other professional photographers. Likewise, if we are unable to cover a specific date then we will recommend trusted alternatives.
There are numerous people offering their services as wedding photographers and unfortunately many are likely to disappoint. By following the advice above you are more likely to make the right choice. Of course, we would love to hear from you to discuss wedding photography in Scotland.
