Is the style of the photography you are shown exactly what you want for your album? If not, choose other photographers.

The intimate but relaxed nature of the Lovegrove's shooting style is not for everyone. If you or your partner are uncomfortable being photographed, consider booking a reportage photographer who works in an unobtrusive 'fly on the wall' way.

Photographers will always show you their finest photographs at the enquiry stage; judge their ability on what you see. Remember, it is easy to take 3 or 4 excellent pictures at each wedding. It's a different matter taking 200 excellent and unique images at each wedding.

Choose photographers you can have fun with.
