There’s been a story in the press recently about a couple suing their wedding photographer. It’s now made it onto the BBC (here).
I really feel for the couple in question. They did their research, visiting several wedding fairs, paid for a professional service on their big day, and have ultimately been let down. These memories can’t be restaged.
It really just goes to show the importance of choosing the right photographer for your wedding. If you don’t have friends who can give you a recommendation, you can give yourself the best chance of finding a reputable photographer by starting your search with industry organisations such as the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers, or the Association of Wedding Photojournalists.
In any case, ask lots of questions (some ideas in a previous post here), make sure sample albums contain the photographer’s own work, and most of all – trust your gut instincts! If you don’t have total confidence in someone, walk away.
Let’s be careful out there.
