Please do not pay more then 30% of your total amount if you want to get your Photos videos and other stuff on time. He will ask for 80% money in advance and then you have to followup for years to get your stuff. Its been 1.5 year after marriage I got marriage album that too after lot of followups still waiting for the Video. He talks so softly but at the same time he won't care of your time. Level of Photography is nornal, nothing extraordinary for which you wait for 1.5 years. We could not even feel the personal touch a photographer should add for your special day,Bride and Groom's parents, siblings which could have made the most memorable and beautiful memories were almost missing. after seeing the photos I felt like I should have someone from my side to guide him what to capture. After discussing the same, I got the blame on my schedule!! Yes, people sometimes have small, one day, decent and simple wedding. I could have expected an ordinary photography if I hired someone half their price. but after paying their price, I regret and felt disappointed to see the results. What I realized is, they can make your already big fat wedding look more beauttiful, nothing extraordinary.
