The creativeness that can be achieved by a wedding photographer can also be related to your creativeness that you put into you wedding and your wedding plans. For example: If your wedding day consists of a registry office, and a marquee at home in the garden. The creative opportunities are lesser then say a castle wedding with a fun fair reception.
But at the end of it all, finding a creative wedding photographer just comes down to finding someone you can explore and share your ideas with, and a photographer that will find the creative points in your day and work to them to tell the story of your wedding day.

Cost of Wedding Photographer

The cost of a wedding photographer varies wildly. Going from people that shoot for free, for the ‘experience’. To high end photographers who offer it all.
When looking at the cost of a wedding photographer you need to think about a few things. Do you want to trust the photography of your special day to someone who doesn’t have the photography experience? And also what budget you are willing to spend on capturing your wedding day? One thing to bare in mind with budgeting the cost of a photographer is also your photography needs, such as wanting wedding albums, digital negatives, canvas art etc..
There are many great photographers out there that offer affordable prices and great photography. However its your job to research and find the right photographer for you.

Wedding Photography on a Budget

Everybody likes a deal and getting a bargain. But it's a fine line when looking for a wedding photographer.
The wedding market is saturated with inexperienced photographers offing amazing tempting deals and promising the world. Only to supply blurry photographs and excuses about missed shots.

There are deals out there to be had with professional photographers, and yet still working to your wedding budget. It's really about finding a wedding photographer that can capture everything you want from your wedding day and then working to a realistic budget.
The one way to work with your budget is to find a photographer in the price range you are looking for. I believe the best way is to find the wedding photographer you want. And if needed just save that little harder to be able to pay for that better photographer. After all the photographers job on the day is to capture and eternalise all those moments on your wedding day, so you can re-live them for the rest of your life. Experience and quality really pay of in the end.

Find a Wedding Photographer
There are many ways to find a wedding photographer. Be it from word of mouth, wedding fairs, magazines or even online.
With online becoming the most popular way to find a wedding photographer what should you be looking for in a great wedding photographer?

Here are some tips to help you find a great wedding photographer:

• Check out the photographers online wedding photography Gallery or Portfolio. See what the wedding photographer has to offer in creativeness and talent.
  
• Make sure the photographer is within your budget, or you are able to budget for that photographer. With Wedding photography you shouldn't be looking for just the cheapest you can. Wedding photography isn't just as universal talent. It truly varies.
  
• If you are interested in their photography, ask the photographer if you can see a full set of wedding photographs from a wedding shoot. This is to get a full scope of what that capture on a wedding day.
  
• Contact the photographer to find out what wedding photography packages they offer, and possibly arrange a meeting to go over your needs.
  

Reviews and Testimonials
Look at a photographers testimonials and reviews to see what other people have said about them. These can often be found on the photographers website. Another good idea is to find the photographer on Facebook or another social media site. And see what people or clients have been saying about them and their photography work.

Photography Experience
It’s good practice while researching your photographer to find out what photography experience they have. Are they a seasoned pro at shooting weddings or will this be there first wedding, and just entering the world of wedding photography. When finding a photographer with experience it can also mean that they have higher prices, but in this case it is worth the extra expense. A photographer that has experience is going to be calm and provide you with more stunning images of your day. Mostly because they know the drill, they know where to be and when to be, to get the shots they need. A inexperienced photographer or a new starter to the world of wedding photography can miss important moments, find themselves in the wrong place and the wrong time and not get the shots your looking for from your day.

Working a Budget, but Don’t Skimp
We have all read horror stories in newspapers and magazines of shocking wedding photographers. "Wedding photographers" who deliver terrible images or fail to deliver any at all. These photographers tend to be cheap shoot and burn types. I’ve always been taught ‘You buy cheap, You by twice’. Which is something you really can’t afford to do for your wedding day photography. It’s important to work to a budget for your wedding plans, But one thing that needs to be remembered is the importance of a wedding photographer. They are the one that is capturing your special day. Finding a wedding photographer with experience is a good way to go. You want to be able to relive your day in years to come looking though your images, a good experienced wedding photographer will be able to achieve this for you.

Ask to see a photographers photographs from a full wedding shoot
Asking to see a full wedding shoot is a great way to get a rounded view of the quality of photographer you are going to get for your wedding day. A photographer’s portfolio is a great thing to look at, but tends to be a hand full of cherry picked images to best showcase there style of work. So it's therefore just a narrow view of what you could be getting. A full shoot will also allow you to see a finished product they have supplied to another client. The question you can then ask yourself is ‘would I be happy receiving similar?’

Meeting & Having a Pre-wedding Consultation
There are two important reasons for meeting and having a pre-wedding consultation. One is to simply meet the photographer, and get to know each other. After all this person you are hiring to document your day will also be part of it. It’s nice to know that you are comfortable around your photographer and your personalities mesh. The other reason is making sure the photographer gets information from you to make sure they capture everything you want from your day.
