73 Wedding Photos That Are So Wrong They Became Legendary

And getting along with your photographer can make a bigger difference than people think. “When I am photographing a wedding I often get mistaken for one of the couple’s friends,” reveals Hancox.

“For years this used to really annoy me as I would be all, ‘No, I’m a professional photographer!’ But actually, now, this makes my day. I’m so pleased when this happens as it means that we fit together perfectly, and it looks like we’ve known each other for years. This is when the magic really happens,” she says.

Finally, before you sign anything, do a bit of due diligence. Try to check that other people actually enjoyed working with them on the day.

Richard suggests looking through reviews, and not just the ones featured on the photographer’s own website. If you can, check a few different sources too, like Google or Facebook. And if you know someone who’s worked with that photographer before, ask them every question you can think of.

Now, all that’s left is to get ready for the big day. Hopefully, your wedding photos turn out brilliant and end up being memorable for all the right reasons.
