Weddings are busy, beautiful and yes, even stressful events. And in the hubbub of everything which makes a wedding, well, a marriage, you can suppose something might get missed. That's understandable, however, you want to make sure that 'something' doesn't fall under the course of missed photographs. That is why one of the most main reasons of wedding ceremony planning needs to be the selection of your photographer. Remember... long afterwards the wedding cake continues to be eaten and the wedding dress is pushed towards the back from the attic, you'll still be looking at the wedding pictures and remembering the joy of your personal day.
Most wedding photographers possess a check-list they're going by; one the bride and groom are often inspired to fill out before the wedding. If not, make sure you supply the photographer with a list of what photos you would like taken. If you are unsure of what you should include in that list, you can find photo check lists in bridal magazines and websites for example shutterfly.com or knotforlife.com. Not using a checklist is asking for trouble... and missed photo ops you may never have again. To avert this unfortunate mishap, make sure to select someone (the bride's mom, a popular aunt or sister in-law) who definitely are responsible for dealing with the photographer; a constraints system, you might say.
Owen and Melissa might have benefited greatly from doing this; things got so hectic that they ended up without a single shot of only the a couple of them! Thank heavens for cropping tools on photo sites!
Other tips to keep in mind when hiring the wedding photographer include:
Examining their portfolio. Would you like their work? Are they creative? Is the lighting and exposure up to par? Ask for references-and follow up by contacting a couple of of them. Remember that not all professional wedding photographers have to be 'professionals'. There are plenty of hobby photographers whose jobs are top quality and definitely wedding-worthy. Ask friends and family for suggestions, contact your local photography club or even the photo-journalism department of a nearby university or college. Make sure the photographer fully explains what you are getting for your money. Are you currently getting full rights to the photos? The length of time is included within the price? How long could it be before you receive your photos? Get it on paper. Including receipts for payments made and a 'contract' for which you are receiving in return for your payment. Feel comfortable with the photographer. Do they pay attention to what you would like?
Your wedding photographer will in all probability find a fair quantity of the wedding budget. This is exactly why you should get as much for your money as you possibly can without compromising the quality of your photos.
