Four tips to finding your perfect wedding photographer.


  • Most weddings run over time.  If you employ a photographer for a set number of hours, make sure they're not going to disappear just before you cut the cake. It's important to discuss a contingency plan or to find a photographer that is going to be flexible with the arrangements. 
  • Don't just go by the look of the photographs. Make sure your photographer is someone that you can get along with and that listens precisely to you requirements.
  • Ask to see a previous wedding shoot from start to finish - not just the photographs that the photographer has chosen to show you. This will give you the most accurate idea of what the photographers work is like.
  • Ask them if they have any backup equipment.

Martin Tompkins Wedding Photographer

Welcome...
This is the blog to accompany the Martin Tompkins Wedding Photographer service. And in it I hope to cover some of the questions asked by brides and grooms to be when considering a wedding photographer. Other aspects of choosing the perfect wedding day will also be covered.
I run a professional wedding photography service from the picturesque city of Bath in Somerset. With over 10 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I have created a service that provides elegantly presented contemporary  portraits and group shots coupled with candid, intimate moments shot from the hip. 

I cover Bath, Bristol, Bradford on Avon, Frome, Oxford and everything in between. You can find examples of my wedding photography here.
