How to choose a wedding photographer for your wedding
As you reserve your wedding day, the venue, the car, and all those good things that make your wedding day a day to remember, and on that list, one of the most important things to remember is reserve the photographer. It is your duty to capture those precious moments in your wedding photographs that you will have for the rest of your life. But when it comes to choosing your photographer, how can you be sure you've found the right one?
Interview your wedding photographers
A good photographer will know how to get the best out of the married couple and their guests and will be able to select the best light and backgrounds for the photographs. When you meet a photographer who is possibly your wedding photographer, ask about creativity and their suggestion to create the wedding album in terms of image style. The photographer you choose has a role that goes beyond simply taking pictures. A good photographer will know how to create opportunities and settings that will create interesting and fun images. Remember, your idea of fun may not be the same as your photographer. For example, at a recent wedding, I photographed the Bride who was picked up and held by the Groom and the Groom's Men and the Father of the Bride and Groom as she reclined in his arms. This is a common image, but not one that I would personally suggest, as it is not my idea of a good image or something fun. However, it is what they wanted and I was happy to continue the Fotografin.
Your photographer's personality
This brings me to the next important thing to remember, the wedding is your day, not the photographers, this is a day for you to have fun and have a good time. People relate different types of personality. Choose a friendly wedding photographer who can make you smile, one who can sense the mood of the guests and allow things to flow naturally and with a sense of joy for the occasion. This will make the photographs look more natural and relaxed.
Try to have a pre-wedding photo shoot, this will help you understand your photographer and, more importantly, for her to understand you and how you feel in front of the camera. With the exception of your partner, you will spend more time with the photographer than with anyone else on your wedding day, so make sure you get along with him or her.
Evaluate portfolios
What is the most beautiful image in the world? You may have an answer, but someone else may disagree with you because the answer is subjective. The old saying is true "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Any good wedding photographer's portfolio will look good for most people; you need to make sure it fits you well. Look at your portfolio to make sure the photographer's style reflects your own style and creativity. If a set of pictures or a sample album looks good, ask to see all the pictures from that wedding. If the photographer visited you at home and this requires a secondary visit, so be it.
Get estimates
Most wedding photographers suggest different "packages", allowing you to select an offer that best suits your budget. Compare the price packages of various photographers to find your best option to assess the price along with all other factors, including the quality of their work, the reviews of other clients, their flexibility and personality. Don't limit yourself to the cheery and cheery option either; You are paying for talent and skill.
