5 Reasons to Choose a Local Birmingham Wedding Photographer

When planning your wedding in Birmingham, one of the biggest decisions you’ll make is choosing your photographer. There are real advantages to hiring a photographer who knows the city inside out. Here’s why choosing a local Birmingham wedding photographer can make all the difference to your big day.

1. Knowledge of Local Venues

From Hotel du Vin to The Belfry, a Birmingham-based photographer is familiar with the best spots for beautiful photos, both inside and out. They will also come fully equipped with expertise in how the lighting falls within the city and the best spots to photograph in for each time of the day.

2. Hidden Gems for Couple Portraits

Local photographers know those tucked-away corners that only a local would know — like Gas Street Basin at golden hour or the prettiest corners of Sutton Park.

3. Flexible For Meetings & Engagement Shoots

When working with a local photographer it’s easy to meet up in advance, whether for coffee in the Jewellery Quarter or an engagement shoot at Cannon Hill Park. The run up to your wedding is made far easier when distance between you and your chosen photographer is less of a factor.

5. A personal Touch

Above all, a local photographer will have a genuine connection to the city and take pride in telling your story here, capturing beautiful photos along the way!
