There are several advantages of choosing a local wedding photographer, I will go into just a few in this blog.
The Darlington area boasts many wedding venues. In Darlington itself we have Blackwell Grange and Bannatynes. Slightly further afield is Hallgarth, Rockliffe Hall, Wallworth Castle and Redworth Hall. These are but a few, but probably the most well known. Do you think that a local wedding photographer is more likely to have intimate knowledge of these venues? Of course they are, if they have a few years of experience they will most likely have photographed weddings at most of these venues. The advantage of this local knowledge is that they will know all the nooks and crannies where you will get the best wedding photographs, whatever the weather!
Another advantage of using a local photographer is that they will live just a few miles away from the venue. Imagine a photographer who has to travel 50 or 60 miles and there is an accident on the A1? Most photographers should allow extra time incase of accidents etc, but its just another hurdle that wedding day planning could do without.
If your wedding photographer is local you should get a faster service. Letters and emails are great but nothing beats talking through your photography requirements and then your album design, face to face. Sometimes it can be difficult to describe the effect you want in an email. When designing an album we can bring the computer to you with all the designs on it and can change it in front of you, how cool is that!
Here is an advantage you almost certainly will like! I love local people, local people seem to be on the same wavelength. I often bump into past clients around town and its great to see them again. So these feelings coupled to the advantage of small amounts of travel and easy communication CAN result in discounts. For instance I photographed a wedding recently at Blackwell Grange and saved the couple money on their coverage because while they were having the meal, I went home, then returned a couple of hours later to capture the first dance.
Please consider your local wedding photographer first. I would be grateful if you would include us in your shortlist, our website is at http://www.portrait-wedding-photographers.co.uk/
