Wedding Photographers - Green Olive Wedding

My FREE Engagement Shoot by Green Olive Wedding Photography

Looking for your wedding photographer can be quite a difficult task.  If you’ve never had to consider what style of photography you like before, you’re possibly not going to know exactly what it is that you do and don’t like until it’s staring you in the face.  There are absolutely thousands of photographers out there, all at extremely varying budgets, offering different packages and add ons.  One of the underlying reasons that we may find it difficult to choose a wedding photographer is the knowledge at the back of our minds that these will be photos that capture one of the most intimate, emotional and happiest days of our lives.  These are photos that need to stand the test of time.  They will be seen by many people and most likely take pride of place on display in our homes as well as others.  There is also an element of fear involved in the choice that we make...what if we’re not happy with the end results?  One option to alleviate this fear is to consider having an engagement shoot with your preferred photographer.

As someone who recently got married (in July 2011), I have had this daunting experience of hunting for that style of photography that captures your eye.  I had absolutely no idea where to start.  In all honesty, it took rather a lot of research, and many hours of trawling through the internet before I finally decided to take the plunge and meet with the wedding photographer at the top of my list...Green Olive Wedding Photography.  So why am I telling you?  It's always great to have a recommendation when you're searching for something as important as a wedding supplier.  If I can help others save time in their hunt for that great wedding photographer then I have succeeded in helping alleviate some of the stress of planning a wedding!

Green Olive Wedding - A Photographic Duo
Ben and Slawek, a.k.a Green Olive Wedding Photography, work extremely well as a team.  They're wonderfully friendly, easy to get along with and make their clients feel relaxed, which ultimately is the way to get the best photos of people!  Green Olive Wedding Photography specialises in a combination of reportage, documentary and directed photography.  Other than loving their style of photography, I was interested in contacting Ben and Slawek for a 3 main reasons:

1. They offer a free engagement shoot, with no obligation to book them and you are given the photos to keep as a memento.  This is a fantastic opportunity to discover whether you feel comfortable with them and ask any questions that may spring to mind.  Let's face it, unless you're famous, or a model, not many people are used to having their photographs taken for an entire day!
2. There are two of them!  I loved the fact that we were able to have photos of both the bride and groom getting ready even though we were on opposite sides of London.  Most photographers work alone, which means that usually, it is the bridal preparations that are photographed.  As I wasn't with my fiancé (now husband!) during the morning of our wedding day, it was lovely to see photos of him, his best man and ushers while they were all getting ready.
3. They don't count hours.  During my hours of research, I discovered that most wedding photographers charge for a set number of hours and if you wish to extend that, you pay an hourly rate...usually at least £100 per hour!!!  Ben and Slawek were with me and my husband from around 9.30am until 8.30pm!  Weddings rarely run on schedule, so imagine knowing at the back of your mind that you have run an hour and a half behind and suddenly your photographer's bill will be escalating as the minutes tick by...not a nice thought when you're supposed to be enjoying your wedding day!

Overall, our wedding day was absolutely amazing and so were Green Olive Wedding Photography!  They took fantastic photos of us and our guests.  Many people mentioned how great they were and now that they've seen the end result, they love the photos just as much as we do.  I would truly recommend Ben and Slawek if you're currently looking for your wedding photographer.  If I've managed to entice you so far, here are their contact details:
