Perfect Wedding Photographers in the West Midlands

There are so many different things to consider when choosing your West Midlands wedding photographer. No two photographers will have the same approach and all will offer their own unique service and style. Some will adopt a photojournalistic or reportage documentary approach for most of your day, so you can look back and remember just how incredible your day actually was in addition to the more traditional couples, bridesmaids and family group shots.

A good wedding photographer will be unobtrusive and will capture the day in a relaxed and informal way from the 'getting ready' stage right through to the first dance and well into the evening.

You want to remember your wedding day forever so it's worth choosing a photographer you are comfortable with and will record your day in the best possible way.

Here’s some great wedding photographers in the West Midlands from places like Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Warwick, Shrewsbury and Stratford, whom you might want to get in touch with...

Firstly, everyone is a bit nervous in front of the camera, it's totally normal to feel a bit anxious. The biggest thing you can do to help with this is to choose a photographer who puts you at ease and makes you feel comfortable. Have a chat before the wedding to go over any worries, and they will be able to help you.

The main thing is to relax and trust your photographer. They will put you in the best light, guide you through any poses and help you look relaxed.

Why you should book a pre-wedding photo shoot

We love a pre-wedding shoot! It's a great opportunity for you to work with your photographer before the big day, especially if you're feeling a little apprehensive about having your picture taken. You can choose the perfect location; it could be where you first met, a favourite place or a relaxed walk around your local park. It's a great chance to chat about your wedding plans as they snap away. Throughout the shoot and your wedding day, we love to capture natural shots that show who you are as a couple. A pre-wedding shoot is a lovely way to prepare, as we get the chance to see how you are in front of the camera, and we can even guide you on how to pose if need be.

How to find a wedding photographer on a budget

Start by finding a photographer within your budget. Average wedding photography for a full day can be around £1,200 in the UK, so plan your budget accordingly to ensure you get the best. Book early. Photographers usually have an early booking discount if you contact them a couple of years in advance. If you find a suitable photographer, but they're out of budget, ask them to reduce the coverage. For example, instead of covering from preparation to the end, you can ask them to cover from the ceremony up to the cutting of the cake. Less time means there will be fewer photos overall and should therefore be cheaper.

What to ask your photographer before booking

We've all had to adapt and be more flexible after so many postponements. If you have no choice but to move your wedding date, most photographers should be happy to reschedule, providing they're available. Here are a few key questions to ask: What is your policy if we're required to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic? Will there be any changes in price if we are postponing to the following year? What is your policy regarding deposits in the event that you're not available on the date we would like to postpone to?
