Do I need a Wedding Photographer?
If you're getting married you might be trying to decide whether or not to hire a wedding photographer. You might be trying to decide which Wedding Photographer to choose for your big day.
Why do I need a Wedding Photographer?
You may know somebody who has a camera and enjoys photography as a hobby but isn't a professional photographer. Asking them to take your Wedding photographs is an option, it will save you money they may be willing to do it for free. But.do you want to trust the Photographs of your big day to somebody with no experience of wedding photography?
What if they get distracted and miss a key moment, it would be awful not to have a photograph of the bride and groom leaving the church or the first dance at the reception. Is it not too big a risk to take?
Some may feel Wedding Photographers are too expensive, they see them at the Wedding and think what a straight forward job it is. What they don't see is the planning before the Wedding and then the hours spent going through the Photographs after the Wedding, selecting all the best pictures to put forward to the Bride and Groom for the Wedding album.
OK, I do want a wedding photographer but how do I choose one?
When looking for a Wedding Photographer there are a number of things to do. Firstly talk to any friends or family that have got married recently, have a look at their Wedding albums and see if you like them. Recommendations are a great way to find a good Wedding Photographer. Look at their websites, there is sure to be photographs on the website, if you like them, then arrange to meet the Photographer and see some more examples and gauge how well you get on with that person and whether you want that them at your wedding. Do they seem like someone who if they were at the Wedding would be dressed appropriately, are they reliable enough to turn up at the right church? These things are just as vital as the Photography skills.
You may be thinking that you'll arrange everything else and then consider the Wedding Photographer. But think about it if you find a good Wedding Photographer that has been working in your local area for some time, they will have come across Weddings with excellent flowers, or excellent wedding cakes, some fantastic venues they can give may be able to offer some good advice on companies to contact for all these things.
I've chosen a Wedding Photographer, is that it?
Some people like to meet with the Wedding Photographer again before the wedding to discuss certain moments that they want photographed, or a certain type of picture you want.
Photographers these days won't just use one "standard" style of photography; it's not all about formal posed photographs. If for some strange reason you wanted this then by all means suggest it to the Photographer and hopefully they can talk you out of it.
The photographer will use a range of styles to capture the story of the day, choosing the best style for each moment that occurs. This ensures that the wedding album paints a picture of the day and has variety and atmosphere. Of course if during the course of the day there's a specific photograph you would like, maybe a picture of a specific group of people, the Photographer will happily do it, you are paying him after all and it's your special day.
