When it comes to weddings, we all know they are expensive, there are so many (especially these days) costs related to the fact that in certain areas often neglected in order to be able to spend a few pounds on the food, or dress. One of these areas, with photography, often it is seen as a luxury to spend a great deal on this item, or until the last minute.
In my opinion, this is a big mistake! When the coppers left and confetti was swept away, the wedding photography will be all that is left Help Help memories, this important aspect is often overlooked. There are several important factors to consider when choosing your wedding photographer:
€ What services do they offer?
€ Have you seen my wallet?
€ Can they supply references?
€ Where are they?
Services:
First, I think it is important to decide what you want from your photographer, now this is a complex issue since there are so many options available, first, you have to know what you will get on the day of the photographers you hire. Do you follow them, only for the service you want them all day if you want to get pictures of the bride or groom (or whichever of those you have a combination of) going through the service all the way to the late reception.
How many photographers will be the event itself? Some photographers have an assistant to help them capture the moment that the official photographer may miss.
What do you get at the end of the day? You need to get all the pictures in a CD, the further processing of work has been done, you need to do as you like, or a photographer to help you choose a number for inclusion on the album (or more often these days, a wedding book), and other supporting images must buy additional cost?
Links portfolios:
So you know what you want, and start looking for a photographer that offers everything that you need, what's next, well it's vitally important that you do two things, check out a portfolio of work, a photographer has its own collection, and my advice is to look for here images with a variety of brides and grooms, it's very easy for photographers gathered in their portfolio of wedding workshops only (that is, where they work with patterns shots). The people range will prove that they have more experience.
Secondly, if they are any good, they will be more than happy if you ask them about the links. Speaking of real brides / grooms who have used them to help assess not only the quality of the photographs, but also how they were as escorts to your wedding. Wedding photographer in most cases be modest, while others require considerable focus groups (if requested formal style photos). Many wedding photographers get much of their work through word of mouth (especially if they are good!).
Another important consideration when choosing your photographer, but you are looking for a photographer, a portfolio of work to see if the style is something you like. For many years the official photos were staged thing these days reportage style is more popular here, again, your choice is dictated by what you seem to be hired.
Location:
Although many people disagree with me, I think it is important to hire a photographer who is in a similar place (of course, if the wedding in another place, you can add to the cost), this, for me, is because it makes before the wedding and after the wedding many, many easier for them to meet. This also means that in the event you have any problems can be handled by a person with ease.
When you have to make some choices of photographers whose style you like, and it seems to offer you a package, it is a useful tool to actually carry out several of them, there is nothing worse than having a photographer that you simply do not like trying to shoot your wedding.
Price:
So you have decided on the style you want, and what kind of services you want, the next thing many people now do is look at the price as choosing your future wedding photographer and this is where often made the biggest mistakes. These days, the emergence of digital photography, many people see photography make a quick buck, and there are many people who claim "professional" wedding photographers, but do not have the skills or experience to be able to complete the job (a simple search on the Internet will tell you horror stories of people who felt cheap was OK).
Now I'm not saying that anyone who offers low price trying to rip you off, it is a simple verbal warning, check your portfolio carefully, and make sure that they can achieve. Often, they charge a premium to do because they have the ability and the dignity to do so.
