Here Comes the Bride

Benjamin Wheeler is one of the world’s most sought after wedding photographers, with a career spanning luxury fashion, celebrity weddings and even British royalty. This week, Benjamin joins Georgie to reveal what couples really need to know before choosing their wedding photographer. From the questions you should ask before booking and whether you really need a second shooter, to getting the timing right and why you shouldn’t disappear for portraits during your drinks reception, Benjamin shares the advice he’s learnt from more than a decade behind the camera. They also get into wedding photography budgets, his £20,000 starting fee, the rise of wedding content creators, unplugged ceremonies, destination wedding fatigue and the photography trends he thinks will actually stand the test of time. Plus, as Benjamin plans his own wedding, he reveals what years spent photographing some of the world’s most spectacular celebrations have taught him about what really makes a brilliant wedding.
