Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a decent photographer in Hampshire that does weddings? Also, as I've never paid for this kind of thing before, what should I be looking for to identify a decent photographer?

sorry if these seem like dumb questions but I figured you lot would know!

Pics they took that you like.

Checkout a number of photog's, they'll all have their own style (even if there all as good as each other) , find one that you like.

Also make sure they have insurance/cover for the day and adaquate kit too.

Ours shot MF and 35mm and two photogs attended one formal one reportage.

A wedding photographer normally has liek a chack list, so he will get the normal shots that anyone would get, but the best ones are normally the unplanned ones, the candid shots getting you when your not looking etc.

To get a professional to cover a wedding isnt cheap though.

Think we paid £700-800 or so ended up with 30 10x12's (mf) and a larger number of B&W's.

Wedding photog scares me hehe... Something I dont weant to try myself - and I'd want $$$ of kit before I'd even turn up.

I'd offer but think I'm too far away (Essex) to make it cost-effective frown

Hey there, I'm in Whiteley which is near Portsmouth, wedding will be in a place called Botley, just up the road,

Simpo, when you say it wouldn't be cost effective, do you fancy dropping me a mail and we'll see what we can do? it's not till 2009 by the way

Gareth, any details on your friend?

Just want to get this nailed down and more importantly, get it right...

thanks all!
