I'm getting married in January at Ripley Castle (near Harrogate) and am starting to look at wedding photographers. However, I have no idea how to go about this, what to look for etc. Can anyone give any advice?

What are the things I should look for in a photographer? What should I ask them? Is it usual to arrange a meeting before committing to anything? What is a typical price (how long is a piece of string I assume?!). I have a budget of £800 - is this achievable? I am not bothered about getting an album printed, but I would like digital copies of the edited photos.

I don't know much about photography at all. However, I don't like the very staged, forced smile-at-the-camera poses. I like the photography that is more spontaneous - capturing shots that people don't know are being taken. I guess I like a more subtle, naturalistic approach.

If anyone can give any advice that would be great :D
 
Thanks for all the help guys. Lots of info to use so really helpful. I'll be sure to dig this thread out again if I have any more questions.

As an aside, I've been being nosey and I LOVE the work of both Phate and Ray :D Just the style I'm after
