Looking For a Professional Wedding Photographer? Several Tips to Help You Make the Correct Decision
The process of selecting a professional wedding photographer to create beautiful memories of your wedding day can be simplified with some basic tips.
With over 30 years experience as a professional wedding and portrait photographer, I will help guide you through the process.
Don't make a final decision on who to hire until you have seen several photographers.
You will develop a taste of what styles of photography appeal to you and what styles do not.
You will also develop a taste of what photographer has the type of personality that is a good "Fit" with your personality.
The price of professional photography.
There are many variables that come into play, and what a photographer charges does not always have to do with their quality.
A poor quality photographer living in Beverly Hills will charge more than a fantastic, artistic photographer living in Fresno.
Also, do not let "hype" interfere with your decision making process.
A good friend went against my advice and hired a photographer known for photographing celebrity weddings.
She was less than satisfied with the quality of the photographs she received and realized the hype behind this photographer far exceeded their capabilities.
Traditional, photojournalisitc or a combination of styles.
I feel a mix of the two styles provide the best result.
Traditional photography assures all the important images are captured while a bit of photojournalisitc photography adds excitement.
Consistency in quality is such an important consideration when viewing a photographer's work.
Look at several, complete (start to finish) wedding album samples.
Taking one or two great images from each wedding and putting them in a "Greatest Hits" sample album tells you nothing about how consistent the photographer is from wedding to wedding.
Hopefully these tips will aid you in the selection of a wedding photographer that is a fantastic fit for your wedding day.
After viewing several photographers, consider price, personality and a consistent quality of style when making your final decision.
