Some wedding photographers work from shop premises, others from their homes.
Unfortunately, none of these are criteria for distinguishing between a good wedding photographer and a poor one. When the wedding date is known, telephone around and find which photographers are available on that date. Since the majority of weddings take place on about 30 Saturday afternoons between April and October, many photographers become booked up a year, or even two years, in advance. If the photographer is available on your chosen day, make an appointment to see him or her, either at your home or at the photographer's business premises. It is important that, at this meeting, all those responsible for decision-making are present.
