We’re planning a wedding in Somerset and have been looking at different options for wedding photography. There seem to be quite a few things to consider beyond just the price — especially whether you want traditional posed photographs or something more natural and documentary-style.

Somerset has some fantastic wedding venues, from country estates and barns to smaller outdoor celebrations. The venue itself can make a big difference to the type of photographs you get, particularly when there are beautiful grounds, gardens or countryside around the reception.

Personally, I think it’s worth looking at a photographer’s previous full weddings rather than just their best individual photographs. That gives you a much better idea of how they capture the whole day, including candid moments, guests, details and the atmosphere.

For anyone researching Somerset Wedding Photographer options, this page has some useful examples of Somerset venues and wedding photography styles:
What do others think is most important when choosing a wedding photographer — style, experience, personality, price, or something else?

What's most important is that nobody throws lots of bits of torn up paper in front of the happy couple, thereby obscuring their faces when a photo is being taken.
That is the worst wedding photo ever.
 
Ask to see their portfolio of other weddings.
My friend paid £2k for some carp pictures and eventually he used photos taken by guests to make his wedding album.
Lots of editing and adjusting.
Some photographers are just amateurs trying to get some money.
Another friend had a very tight budget and got a friend of a friend , a photography enthusiast, to take her wedding pictures.
They were great!
