Good Wedding Photography - The Crap Snap
Finally the big day is upon you so let us make it the most
memorable day of your life. Your wedding plans has taken up a
lot of your time over the months, now let's go knock them dead
with all your efforts. Memories of the perfect occasion need to
last for ever? This can be done by capturing every joyous moment
of this fabulous day with great wedding photographs. Choosing a
good wedding photographer service for your wedding is the way to
make it happen.
Give the Photographer plenty of notice in advance with intimate
details on your wedding theme if there is one, this will give
him some insight on what camera equipment/lens etc is needed for
the wedding photo shoot. Careful planning and timing of the
ceremony/reception is vital information for the photographer to
have under his hat so he/she can capture the special moments of
both sections of the day. (Can not be in two places at once) By
having a short interval between the end of the service and
beginning of the reception will allow time for more snapshots of
the bride/groom and wedding guests. A more relaxed environment
among the entourage with no time limit on being here or there
will produce good photos.
An important issue to be considered when choosing a wedding
photographer is that the photographer can produce before your
very eyes a complete set of wedding photos that he may have
taken at past weddings. This will prove that the photographer is
genuine. Do not accept a display of only selected prints of
their best snaps from different weddings. The norm is to check
out at least 3/4 complete wedding sets of photos. A dedicated
professional wedding photographer shows great pride in his work
and therefore would conduct his/her way of doing business with
you by presenting you with masterpieces.
Cover every corner before making a final decision on the
photographer of your choice; scrutinize every little detail as
in i.e. do they give an unlimited coverage package for the whole
day.
Always be weary of photography companies that contract out work
to people who portray they are wedding photographers. You also
have to be dubious of salespersons with the gift of the gab who
often pose as photographers themselves just to get the custom.
To save any heartache deal with photographers who personally
shoots weddings for a living this will give you peace of mind,
the reason being is the photographer would be grateful for any
referrals you may have thus giving you the best photographs of
your wedding. Finding a versatile photographer is a good option
as he will have had experience on traditional weddings along
with photojournalistic style. Before booking the photographer
ask questions if you are uncertain to what may or may not come
with the package. Also have other questions answered like are
the photos coloured or black and white/does he charge extra on
top for B/W?
Mention your interest in hand and digital colouring and if they
are included in the package, be sure to ask about any surplus
charges that may incur. Quality pictures develop when the
photograph colours are unconnected thus improving them when
printed. If you are not familiar with photography such as what
type of camera is to be used at the wedding, does it have a leaf
shutter or focal plane then take some one with you like a family
member or friend with a little knowledge on photography. Ask to
be shown some of the effects that can be expected from the
equipment he is going to use at your wedding then you get to
choose just exactly what you want.
A word of warning there is always one prankster in the
background of a wedding photograph, will it be you. Be prepared
and Smile even when your eating.
