Wedding Photographer Somerset is owned by multi-award winning Master Photographer Nick Williams LMPA. At Wedding Photographer Somerset, I believe in capturing the wonderful memories of your wedding day in an unobtrusive way ensuring your day is remembered for all the right reasons and NOT as a photoshoot. People often ask can I do bespoke packages, to which we reply yes, around 40 -50 of a year. At Wedding Photographer Somerset we treat each wedding and each bride and groom as unique. Even if we go to the same venue three or four times a year, the weather will be different, the time of year will make a big difference in the foliage and usability of the grounds and most important of all the bride and groom will be different. So it’s vital that we ascertain just how you envisage your big day. That’s not to say I won’t offer my advice from my vast experience of over 500 weddings. So why should you choose wedding photographer somerset to photograph your wedding day when there are so many others to choose from. When booking me you are booking a full time master photographer with years of experience to draw on. As a member of the Master photographer association you can rest assured i comply with all the criteria which comes with the number one professional trade body for full time professional wedding photographers. Fully insured trained and equipped to make the most of the photographic opportunities no matter what the good old British weather may throw at us. We are so confident you will love your wedding photographs, wedding photographer Somerset offers a money back guarantee that if you are not happy you will receive a full refund. This has never happened as we listen to our couples ensuring we get the images you have dreamt of. It should shout out to you just how confident we are.

After the introduction of digital, hardly a day goes by without someone starting up as a wedding photographer believing it is a quick and easy way of making money. Unfortunately, with the accessibility and ease of building a website and advertising via the internet, unsuspecting couples are booking these amateurs expecting a professional photographer and to receive quality results, not realising that these people are exceptionally cheap for a reason. At Wedding Photographer Somerset, Nick is a full-time Master Photographer and a member of the Master Photographers Association. This is the only association that requires its members to be full-time professional photographers. Booking an MPA wedding photographer, like Nick Williams LMPA the owner of Wedding Photographer Somerset, ensures you are getting someone with the experience, knowledge and equipment with the back-up of this national organisation to ensure that your wedding goes without a hitch. The amateur photographers, who often have very little experience and poor equipment that is not suitable for professional photography and often without back-up equipment, cannot offer the same level of assurance. Often their approach when photographing a wedding is to take thousands of photographs in the hope that they capture a hundred good images. The problem with this approach is your wedding day, which should be one of the most special days of your life, can quickly turn into a photo shoot. I am sure that you will agree that you want to spend as much time as possible with your guests and not with the wedding photographer. Booking a full-time professional, like Nick from Wedding Photographer somerset, will ensure not only that you receive, on average, three hundred beautiful images, but far less photographs will be taken, therefore allowing you to spend far greater time enjoying your day and spending time with your wedding guests.

As you probably have done, most people start their search on the internet. There should be no reason for you not to get the wedding photographer that is right for you. At Wedding Photographer Somerset, I often travel throughout the UK to photograph weddings. This is often due to the bride being a guest at a wedding outside their area and was impressed with not only the way we work but also the photographs. However, this is not always the case and we often take bookings from brides who have taken the time to extensively search the internet. When viewing a wedding photographer’s work, ensure they show all types of photographs that you would require at your wedding and not just, for example, forty pictures of a bride and groom. It is great, if you are given the opportunity, to view the photographs from just one wedding as it is much easier for a wedding photographer to show forty photos from forty different weddings than it is to show forty photos from one wedding. Once you have your shortlist, you will want to meet with the photographer. Again, it is very important that when viewing his/her preview albums, each album contains photographs from just one wedding. These should include photographs such as, for example, bride and groom with parents, bride and groom with bridal group and the all important “everyone” shot as these are wedding photographs you are going to want in your album. It is important to check that your wedding photographer is fully insured for any unforeseen circumstances and ensure that they have a back-up plan in the unforeseen event that they are ill. This is very rare but it can happen.

In your meeting with your wedding photographer, you should be looking for a number of things:

•The quality and variety of albums. If they do not offer the type of album you desire, are they willing to be flexible to meet your requirments. Please do make sure they are real wedding photos not ones taken at a wedding seminar with professional models.

•The quality of the photographs ensuring that you see both colour and black and white. If you are getting married in one of the regions great venues such as Orchardliegh , Priston Mill, Cadbury House, Coombe lodge, Rookery Manor, St Audries Park, Ashton Court Mansion and Leigh Court, do they have sample so show you.

•Is the photographer you are meeting the photographer who will be photographing your wedding? It is important to ensure there is a rapport between you and the wedding photographer to ensure that you get the very best out of your wedding day and he gets the best out of you. All of the photographs on the wedding photographer somerset web site were taken by Nick Williams LMPA

•Ensure you get to see photographs which are relative to your wedding, ie. if you are getting married in the winter, there is no point in viewing three hundred wedding photographs taken by the wedding photographer during the summertime.

•Ask about the digital negatives – some photographers offer them as part of the package which, at first glance, may seem ideal but if it is at a large initial cost and it is not something you are looking for then this may not be suitable for you. If, however, the wedding photographer charges for them, ensure that you know the price prior to booking.

•Will you be able to view the photographs on-line and, if so, how long will it take for them to go live? Will the website offer the facility for friends and family to purchase the wedding photographs on-line?

•Ask the wedding photographer how long he/she will be at the wedding for. Do they charge extra for a house-start to photograph the preparations and getting ready and do they photograph through to the speeches and cutting the cake? If this is not included and is something you want, ensure you know how much extra they will charge.

•Travel costs – if you are booking a wedding photographer from outside your area, ensure his travel costs are just that and not another way of making additional profit.

Remember, on your wedding day, you will wear the dress once, you will ride in the car once and the cake will not be tasted again. However, your wedding photographs will be the only record of the day to be enjoyed over the years and to show future generations. It is not a decision that should be taken lightly and it important that you do everything possible to ensure you have the right wedding photographer for you. Your wedding photographer is likely to be with you for a large part of your day. It is imperative that you not only feel comfortable with this person but you also feel they have the ability to bring out the best in you.

As a professional photographer, I will give you memories of your big day and not just pictures of you and your guests posing in a line. To do this, I will take both formal and informal pictures depending upon your requirements. At wedding photographer Somerset we always like to go with the flow of a wedding rather than trying to take over. At the average wedding, we will take 450-550 photographs resulting in an average of 250 - 300 to appear on the preview website (the number depends upon the package). This may sound a lot but the majority will be taken in such a way that they will not stop the flow of the day which will result in wonderful candid memories - I'm sure you agree that a natural smile is so much nicer than a forced one. We also like to cover your whole wedding day and not just the middle two hours, often starting at the bride's parents' house going all the way through to the cake cutting and the speeches. This level of service comes with all of our packages at no extra cost.

 At wedding photographer Somerset I also offer a 100% money back guarantee that if you are not happy with your photographs, you will get a full refund ( this has never happened). In booking me you will end up with wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.

So, if you would like to know more, I would be more than willing to meet with you to show you my portfolio and discuss your every need for your big day. If you have any questions then please do not hesitate in asking wedding photographer Somerset via our contact us page
