Try http://www.talkphotography.co.uk there are a few Wedding togs on there (I think one bloke was Morgan on there who seemed to produce some nice work)

Sadly "budget is the key", one hears that a lot....
it is what it is matey, would rather not waste anyones time.Getting married is something you do ONCE. (Or at least hope to). The day is just the day. But those photographs last a lifetime. We still (13 years later) look back at them with pleasure.
A pro with a solid reputation is worth paying for. If it's more than you were expecting? Economise elsewhere...
My advice would be, do not look at a few samples on a website...you need to look at the whole album for a couple of weddings they have shot, this is the only way you will get a fair representation of what their work is like.
Meet with them several times and ensure you have a contract in place.
Have a clear idea about the sort of pictures you want to have as the end result, if possible find as many examples as you can.

The people who did our wedding were superb. Not just on the day, when they were quick, efficient, unobtrusive but they also did a "pre-wedding" photoshoot at a (rather scenic) ruined church where we could practice. Honestly - a little simple advice about posing actually makes the pics look like the pair of you WANT to get married! And if you get the advice a couple of weeks prior to the big day it saves so much time actually ON the day. Brilliant.Meet with them several times and ensure you have a contract in place.

These days, shooting digitally, they could show you the "pre-wedding" results right away to help you understand what looks good and what doesn't.
All the above, though, is extra service. And costs real money - which it should.

yep of course, but having bought expensive things in the past doesn't mean I have pots of money now.
I'm aware of that, just saying that your first port of call should be the togs images, then the budget.You'll get a better idea of what you want.
I'm not saying you have to shell out either, many well paid photographers only produce mediocre s
