I remember back to after i got married and the sheer frustration of going through all of the photographers in my area led me to just about give up completely! Obviously, which was impossible and seeing as it was the one "task" I had to accomplish in the planning of my wedding, I made a decision to ensure I did it right. I wish to share my tips on what to look for when selecting your wedding photographer to spare the frustration I experienced and also to separate the wheat from the chaff.
1. Transparent Pricing
Yes, pricing is number 1 on my small list! Many photographers like to hide their prices to force you call them. Therefore allows them to start the "hard sell" you. It is also likely they're going to have other hidden extras somewhere down the line too... whether it is extra charges for printing photographs or extra to pay for your reception during the night. Make certain any photographer you are thinking about includes a transparent costs in position and it has a "no hidden extras" clause in the or her contract.
2. A Portfolio From A Full Wedding
Ask your photographer to show you an album from a recent wedding instead of the hand picked "best from the best" you will notice online. This provides you a great chance to find out if the photographer can seamlessly blend all of the areas of your big day together to create a group of memories you are able to cherish forever. It might be also wise to ask to determine photographs from weddings in which the weather was bad or where the reception hall was particularly dark to ensure the photographer can handle all kinds of situations.
3. Meet Your Shortlisted Photographers
Many of photography is personality and how well the photographer and happy couple get on in each other's company. That's why I usually advocate meeting your potential photographers in person before you book them on their photographs alone. This allows you to try to work together, in case your photographer has good "people skills" so that you can manage the wedding party and also to see overall when the photographer has what it takes or just talks a good game with their website!
4. Word Of Mouth
This is actually the one time where that constant nattering in the pub corner can actually pay off! Many people got married and practically every wedding has a photographer! So ask your friends should they have any recommendations for you or indeed if they are conscious of any photographers to avoid. The revolves around person to person and when a photographers has a bad reputation nearer your home then you can bet that there's a reason behind it. Also check up on internet forums for reviews of wedding photographers and you'll be sure to find either negative or positive reinforcements.
5. Believe in Gut
You know the wedding photography style you are looking for. You realize the types of people you like to be around. You realize precisely what you desire from your photography. When you are considering photographers, it's wise to believe in gut and provide more thought to those who catch your attention when you reach their website. Solve these questions . make the decision so in the end said and done, believe in instincts!
I really hope this information has been helpful in your research for a wedding photographer. You plan for one of the most popular days of your life and you should be so excited! Try to relax and relish the process even at days past you feel like calling everything off!
