Choosing a Wedding Photographer


It's that time of year to start thinking about booking your wedding photographer if you are getting married this year. It can be overwhelming for a bride when there are so many photographers to choose from. Wedding photography may seem very expensive but when you break it down, the cost of camera equipment to computers and editing software plus the time spent on color correcting after the wedding, you may find that it's not really that bad. Wedding photographers should also have back up equipment in the event of a malfunction. If you want to keep costs down, you could ask the photographer for a basic package that does not include any fancy extras. I'd recommend paying for good photography than a nice album, dvd, etc. if cost is an issue. I never hear people say they regret paying too much for a good photographer but I do hear all too common, regrets over paying too little for a crappy one. Another important aspect to consider when hiring a wedding photographer is experience. With over 10 years shooting weddings, I can honestly say that no school could have taught me what my mistakes have in this business. Lastly, you want a photographer that you would enjoy spending the whole day with. Someone who makes you feel comfortable and who you can have fun with! That's my two cents worth to all your brides and grooms. Good luck with finding the perfect photographer for your perfect day:)
