Wedding Photographer Checklist
Looking at multiple wedding photographers can be really daunting, especially when you are trying to work out what they offer against each other!
If you know you need to talk to, for example, three wedding photographers, then make a checklist to ask the same questions to each supplier. That way, you can at least attempt to measure apples with apples; eg -

Andrew Miller
Weak tea-drinking, crap joke-telling, Jaffa Cake eating, Bon Jovi loving, incredibly handsome wedding photographer (probably).
As a tea-sipping, pun-cracking, Jaffa Cake munching, Bon Jovi enthusiast, and strikingly good-looking wedding photographer (most likely), I am more than just a Bristol-based wedding photographer.
Wedding photographers in Bristol, like myself, often go beyond just capturing images.
I meticulously plan, organise, and create lasting wedding memories for weddings in Bristol and Somerset. My camera bags carry more non-photography related items than most would carry in a purse... Hairspray. Brush. Hair Grips. Jaffa Cakes. Deodorant. Blister kit. Plasters. Paracetamol. Crochet hook. Unicorns. Eyelash glue. Sewing kit. Heel Protectors. Scissors. Nail file. Bust tape. Umbrellas. Emergency hygiene kit.
Why do I do this? Because the last thing you need on your wedding day is to stress over the small stuff. Let me handle those details while you focus on celebrating the day with your loved ones.
And did I mention my fondness for Jaffa Cakes? I usually have a box or two on hand, just in case! ;-)
Red Flags When We Meet
NO Jaffa Cakes. You bring me a box (or more if you fancy) of Jaffa Cakes when we meet and I’ll give you a 10% discount. No Jaffa Cakes, no discount. This is firm rule (not a guideline by the way).
I don’t share my Jaffa Cakes. Don’t make me fight you to prove it. I have no scruples when dealing with Jaffa Cakes.
NO Bon Jovi. Optional, but bonus points if you like Bon Jovi!
NO Weak De-Caf Tea. Optional...but you'll get hundreds of points if you can make me a cuppa that is perfect. Decaf tea, no milk, no sugar and weak enough to see the bottom of the mug easily.
TL;DR
No pretentious crap. Just solid hard work and amazing wedding photography. Just buy me Jaffa Cakes.
