Choosing The Photographer For Your Big Day Important Factors That Really Matters When Choosing The Right Wedding Photographer

Wedding Photographer: Amateur vs. Professional Choosing The Right Wedding Photographer


What To Look For In A Wedding Photographer Time ◦ When looking for a wedding photographer, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. You want a photographer who has the time for you. Time is a critical factor; You don’t want someone who is running from one event to the next, and on the other hand, you don’t want someone who has too much time on their hands. Both scenarios can be a bad thing for you. Too busy, they may not personalize your wedding, too much time, they may keep changing things around, and you may end up staying in one pose for a very long time.

Personality ◦ Another thing to look out for is, do you get along with them. This may seem like something you would and wouldn’t think about but, it is a very critical part of picking the right person for the job. If the photographer can understand you and what you are looking for, the process will run a lot smoother, making that already stressful day, a little less stressful. Also, it would be good to make sure you understand the photographer.


What To Look For In A Wedding Photographer Understand their process ◦ Make sure you know the operation of the photographer who will be at your special day. If they can explain how they get the right lighting and all the essential details to get the perfect picture without struggling, means they are an expert, and you can trust them.

Creativity ◦ Make sure the photographer can be creative with their photographs. Creativity is what makes your special day, even more special so test their ability to get creative. Creativity makes the pictures unique, and of course, you want yours to be as special as that day.

Attention to detail ◦ Having a photographer who is creative is not the only thing needed to make that big day, great. They need to be able to pay attention to detail. You may find a photo you love, and don’t see someone sneezing in the background, which makes that picture no longer perfect; Unless you want to give that person a hard time for that! But having someone who will pay attention to detail can make or break the best picture of the night.


Choosing The Photographer For Your Big Day Wedding photographers come in all shapes and sizes. Personality is key. A bride will spend more time with her photographer than she will her wedding party. You will need someone you live with. Questions to ask yourself before making that final choice is how well do you communicate with him/her? Can you stand to spend hours hearing their voice as they say stay there, look this way, be silly, or any other instructions. Weddings can be stressful so the last question you may ask is can they handle you!? Wedding photographers all have strengths and weakness. Once you have narrowed your list and making those appointments be sure to write a list of questions you may have for them. Ask them upfront what are their weakness or strengths. That should get the sales pitch going! Weaknesses could include difficulty shooting night-time weddings or indoor/outdoor venues. Strengths could be catching those candid moments or making themselves invisible.


Choosing The Photographer For Your Big Day Wedding photographers should have a portfolio. The bride and groom should take a moment to look at the earlier work of the photographer. Sometimes you may see at portfolios online or in office. You may want to find ratings or reviews as well. Using their portfolio can help you choose what kind of and how many pictures you want. Looking at a photographer’s work can also show their strengths and weaknesses. Wedding photographers always have a fee for their work. You want to get the best bang for your buck. Some wedding photographers offer package deals. Some packages may include engagement sessions, high-resolution photos, or different poses. You may want to think about is that 2,000-dollar package worth it or not. Photographers may also charge for extra photos taken or if they run over the allotted time for the job. Wedding photographers should deliver your photos promptly. During the high season of weddings, a photographer may take longer to deliver. This is not always a bad thing. No one wants their photos to come in a hurry only to find out years later they are poor quality.


Important Factors That Really Matters When Choosing The Right Wedding Photographer Expertise / Skill set ◦ Wedding photographers use different styles and techniques capturing photos, one may be good with digital but not with classic or film. It is necessary that you hire the one that can perform exactly to your wedding’s motif. You can qualify them by checking on the photos they taken previously.

Their availability ◦ Wedding photographers that are known in the industry are always busy. Their schedules are always taken; it is very rare that they have vacant days especially during peak season so if you want to hire a reliable professional you need to speak with them months ahead. If he or she is not available on your wedding date, there is no reason spending time speaking with them.

Rates ◦ Take this consideration very wisely, not all wedding photographers that are good with what they do charge high and vice versa. More than the rate of their service, consider the quality of their work.


Wedding Photographer: Amateur vs. Professional Wedding photographers who classify themselves as amateurs may have “real� talent. Their pictures may speak those thousand words. What makes them an amateur is most likely the way they run their business. Photography can be a job or a hobby. For the beginner, photography is most likely a hobby. Photos are taken for fun, and they have photographed a birthday party, families, or even a wedding or two. Amateur photographers may run a business to make extra money but are not as serious as the professional. An advantage to an amateur is the cost would be lower. For small budget weddings, this could be the way to go. While they may have admirable talent, lower prices, or a schedule that works for you, one may have to take a close look at their work before deciding to hire. Wedding photographers who market themselves as professionals are usually ones who are making their livelihood through this art form. This is their business. Time continues to be put into marketing, updating websites, building portfolios, and proving they have what it takes. Professional photographers have had more experience in the field and have a studio. The prices asked for services are higher due to the confidence a professional has in their work and years of experience. Schedules of these professional photographers are usually full. If you want to book them, you should do that early. Even though these wedding photographers call themselves professional, a client will need to take the time to investigate, just as he/she would an amateur.


Choosing The Right Wedding Photographer First and foremost, are they likable? Personality is broad and varied but a wedding day is not the time to find out that the bride and groom’s personalities clashes with the photographer’s. The wedding photos are fun, but after a long and stressful day, they can be tedious. Conflicts with a photographer that will drain any enjoyment from the process and just add to the post-wedding exhaustion. Next, it is essential that the wedding photographer and couple have similar tastes. Does the couple like a more artistic approach? Maybe they want a more true-to-life style of photography. Considering the photographer’s experience is important. This part can be tricky. A more experienced photographer may appear to be the best choice, but sometimes experience can lead to stagnation. In this instance, the photographer might be averse to doing things in different ways. He or she could also be behind on the latest technologies, trends, and styles. On the other hand, a less experienced photographer may be more flexible but not as professional.


Choosing The Right Wedding Photographer The bride and groom should inquire as to what services their photographer offers. Some photographers offer packages that include an engagement photo shoot. Will he or she cover the entire wedding day? What about their capabilities for editing images?

Finally, in what format will the photos be accessible? In addition to physical prints and albums, will the images be provided in a digital form? Can they be accessed through a portal for family and friends? On what media will they be presented? DVD? External hard drive? Does that cost extra? Also, will the photographer be backing while they are being taken to ensure they won’t be lost?
