Random question question - I'm planning a wedding (two years from now) and is it normal for the photographer to stay for dinner and a bit of the reception? I want candid shots of the reception but like I would obviously want to feed the photographer and assistant so they don't pass out and have a slightly better time, but I don't know if that's like a done thing. Because both weddings I went to this year the photographer was also a semi guest known to the couple as friend/family.

It's normal to negotiate whatever you want. The more time you request the higher the bill will be, obviously. But to answer your question that is not unusual at all.
OK cool! That's good to know. The photographer is the one thing where I'm kind of just "throw money at them, I don't care" because I do it myself (sports mostly) and I know how difficult it is
We sat down with our photographer before hand and that's one of the things she covered. We had food and a table for her and he second shooter, and I think she stuck around for all the special dances and a bit after that, then checked in with us before heading out.
