Tips on Selecting a Photographer
As the prices of those fancy DSLR cameras continue to drop, more and more inexperienced wedding photographers are entering the marketplace offering up their services for cut-rate prices.
Unfortunately, many breaking into the industry think because they've spent all this money on great equipment that viola! They're an instant wedding photographer… Buyer beware!
There is so much more to consider when selecting a wedding photographer than just fancy gear. Good photographers' skills are honed and developed over years of training and experience.
Experienced photographers understand lighting, composition, post processing, communication, workflow and organization. Ultimately, their skill level and experience will be the difference between a bunch of images that would otherwise be hard to differentiate from a point and shoot camera and photographic heirlooms that take your breath away and last a lifetime.
Most of all, make sure you develop a good relationship with your photographer, he or she will ultimately be responsible for delivering the goods after your wedding.
A good relationship leads to a more relaxed atmosphere that will allow you and your guests to be yourselves and naturally at your best for your photographs. Don't take this important decision lightly, you'll live with these photographs for the rest of your life.
