Finding A Wedding Photographer In Cornwall


When choosing a professional photographer for their wedding, many people in Cornwall – a very popular location for weddings – prefer to go for someone local who will know the area and be close at hand for any changes or alterations to the finished photo package after the event. But how do you go about finding a good local Cornish wedding photography firm?

Ask Friends: If you are a Cornish local, then the easiest way to find out about good photographers is to ask friends or acquaintances who have themselves had to hire a professional to take pictures for them. This is a good way to go about it because you can be pretty sure that someone who has been heartily recommended by a good friend is going to be reliable.

Look Online: If you don’t actually live in Cornwall but are getting married there then one of the easiest ways to look for a local firm is to search online. Type ‘Cornish wedding photography’ into a search engine and you will come up with plenty of choices. There are many websites hosting databases of various wedding services. Another useful aspect of searching for services online is that certain databases will come with reviews from previous clients so you can get a feel for how well a particular firm’s work has been received. Also, most companies today will have a website, and the quality of this and their online portfolio should be able to give you some idea of what they have to offer.



Ask Other Firms: Once you have chosen other wedding services providers, such as your venue or caterers, they may then be in a position to recommend a photographer to you. The nature of the wedding industry is such that firms specialising in certain fields will often cross paths and come to build up professional relationships. You may even find, therefore, that certain photographers will give you a discount if you approach them through another firm – such as an entertainment company – with whom they are used to working.

Wedding Fair: Lastly, have a look at whether there are any wedding fairs taking place in Cornwall as these are a great place to get ideas for your big day and find the kinds of professionals you are looking for. It helps to meet people face-to-face and establish a relationship before you hire them, and this way you can meet several local photographers in one go without having to trawl from place to place to meet them all.
