Congratulations... In planning your Wedding,
you will be looking for photography for your wedding done by a professional wedding
photographer in a candid, journalistic style . Your wedding pictures and wedding photos
will preserve the memory
for a lifetime.
Be sure you see samples of the photographer's
work and ask for references. The following items are just as important and many
times are overlooked by people hiring a wedding photographer for the first
time.
Some companies have more than one photographer. Be sure that the sample
photographs you are shown were taken by the photographer who would be doing
your wedding.
Make sure you meet and talk with the photographer and assistant who would be
doing your wedding. Some will try to tell you want you want, and others will be
more cooperative by making suggestions and asking you what you want. Some
photographers will try to run your wedding. Keep in mind that a professional
photographer is not necessarily a good wedding organizer, although some will
insist on imposing "their rules" on you. Ask a lot of questions to be sure you
know what kind of person you are hiring. You want to have a wonderful day the
day you get married and the last thing you need is an uncooperative
photographer who insists on doing things his/her way and causes you grief on
that special day.
Some photographers make a large percentage of their income by charging you
overtime. Make sure you know exactly how much of their time you are paying for
on your wedding day, and be sure it is enough time to suit your needs.
With some companies it is difficult to figure out exactly how much you will be
paying until it's all over. Other companies offer packages that are much easier
to understand. After talking with the company about pricing, if you don't feel
comfortable with knowing what you will get and how much it will cost, you will
probably not be happy with the final bill. Be sure you compare the prices of
reprints and enlargements.
Make sure there will be a signed contract, ask for a blank copy, read it
carefully, and compare it with the contracts of other companies before signing.
Some companies deliver the finished product quicker than others. Be sure to ask
about this.
Some authors who know little about the technicalities of photography advise to
ask what type of equipment is used. Does it really matter? You either like the
look of the samples, or you don't. There is no better "quality" test than just
looking at completed work. A professional photographer is an artist and they
will choose the tools that best work for them.
Consider having your wedding professionally videotaped before deciding upon a
photographer. You have probably seen wedding videotapes produced by an "Uncle
Joe" and weren't very impressed. It is not a well known fact that there are
video companies in the local area that produce professional wedding videos that
look and sound like movies, and yet the cost is often less than what you would
pay for a photographer. You might want to adjust your photography budget to
allow for this once you have seen some demos.
It is becoming more common for couples to spend less on a wedding photographer
and more for a video company since the quality of video has become so
professional. Especially if you have your video made on DVD, you can have
extremely good picture quality, music, sound, and motion. These are
characteristics that simply don’t exist with a set of photographs. With this in
mind, many couples are hiring a photographer for an hour or two to take some
professional photographs and relying on their professional video to remind them
of the happy tears, funny bloopers, vows, toasts and speeches, and all the
other emotions shared with their friends and loved ones on that special day.
