The Right 'Tog for You?
Weddings should first and foremost be about the bride and groom. When all is said and done, it is YOUR day and it should all pan out how you planned it in the first place.
Choosing the right photographer for you is key to recording and remembering your special day, so you should ensure you feel comfortable with your photographer and their shooting style beforehand.
So what things should you consider before choosing your shooter for the day? Money is of course one of the primary deciding factors, but should not be the be-all and end-all. The style of shots from differing levels of photographers will vary, and it is unfair to expect a budget snapper to recreate images from an experienced shooter who charges several thousand pounds per wedding. You should find the best photographer for you within your budget.
Shooting style is perhaps not so immediate a concern as price for some, but is nontheless important in choosing your photographer. Do you want formal poses throughout, or a more informal feel? What are key features of your wedding that you want your photographer to capture?
Yes, your "mate with a fancy camera" may well be able to get some good shots on the day, but will he be consistent? Will he get bored, wander off and start attacking the vol-au-vents and the champers at a critical moment? Friends with cameras are all well and good, and there are bound to be some at most weddings, but these are no substitute for a professional.
So, do I tick all the boxes that you have earmarked for your perfect wedding photographer? I sincerely hope so, as I want my clients to feel comfortable with me and the service I provide, and to be blown away by the end results. I want you to enjoy your special day, and go above and beyond to ensure I facilitate this.
