Choosing a Wedding photographer

planning will be your wedding photographer. It will be tough to
choose from so many choices in town. Photography is an expensive
luxury and also a must during your great day, so you can show

forth... So you want good pictures, frames that capture all the
different kinds of mood and fancies, that means you have to
start shopping for one and allow enough budget to accomplish

confortable with, remember, wedding different photographers have
different kind of style. Some are high key (high in contrast,
like in hollywood movies), others are pop, MTV style,
Lifestyle...
After you have selected and jote down the address and contact,
it is time to meet them. When you meet the wedding photographer,
there are several questions you have to ask yourself. Is the
quality of the wedding photographer of your standard? How does
he present his work? Proud of his work? Slipshod presentation?
Does the wedding
photographer capture the moment? Look through the albums, do you
see romance on the pictures? What catches your eye? Are they
just idiot-proof shots? Do all those pictures tell you a story?
Will he be able to take candid shots? What are the percentage of
the wedding photographer are wedding shots? Is his business
mostly weddings? Is
he an outdoor photographer or studio photographer? One of the
most important question is whether are You comfortable with the
wedding photographer? Be very honest to yourself, if you want a
good memory taken, this is the obstacle you have to pass, not
the budget not the packages. Simply because, You are going to
spend the whole day with the wedding photographer. If you don't
like the photographer for whatever reason, (maybe he has a mole
somewhere that you feel uncomfortable with) it will show in your
pictures. Over many weddings that I have attended, I have
watched brides who were obviosly annoyed by the photographer,
and all I see are plastic smiles and maybe...clenched fist. Not
a very good sight! Is he available on your Day? What packages
does he offer?
After you have gone through the above test, if he
pass...WAIT...before you sign the contract, ask him whether he
is the one that is available to take your wedding shots on that
very Day. Some Studios will just send a freelance photographer
to get the job done. If he is not the one, you have waisted your
time in building a good rapport with him.
So that's it, always remember to advice what kind of moment you
want him to take note. Other than that, all your greatest
memories will be taken in time and space.
