Tips For Choosing A Wedding Photographer

Tips For Choosing A Wedding Photographer "A picture is worth a thousand words". What's your style? Your favorite photography style depends on your personality. Another might simply include his time and materials, with everything else as an add-on. If you don't click with them, move on!. Important Elements A good photographer will also recommend key elements to include in your photos. You may also want to ask if your photographer will be bringing an assistant or second shooter. For example: How many hours are included in the fee? With the cost, what are you receiving? Is there an image album? How many photos do you get? Can you keep the proofs? Be sure to ask to see samples of these albums along with references. One might include time, materials, proofs in an album, custom prints in a custom album, and enlargements. Personality Regardless of how talented a photographer is, it is very important to have a good relationship with them; it is always a good idea to meet beforehand and chat and see if the "mutual chemistry" is right. It is important to take a moment and judge the quality of the pictures in their portfolio: Are they well-lit pictures? How good is the resolution? Can you feel the love through the pictures? All of these are crucial. Good Vision You want to choose someone who will understand what you have in mind without the need of too much direction. The great thing about having another photographer is that it allows for a different angle of all the pictures. At a recent wedding I coordinated my client had a guest list of forty and they splurged on a photographer they felt would capture all of the personal details. You can never do too much homework! Do you like photos that look vintage or a little more artistic? Are classic or formal photos more your style? Some photographers specialize in all black-and-white images and some specialize in taking full color shots. Fine tune your contract so there are no surprises on your big day! It's also a good idea to ask how long it will take to get your proofs and your finished album back so you'll know when you can always expect everything. There is nothing like looking back at your photographs and being able to re-live your big day. Customize your Package Once you narrow it down to three photographers, set up a meeting to talk about the services offered.
