Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! You've probably
dreamed of this day for years but how will you remember it when
it's over? Hiring just any photographer could be one of the
worst mistakes you'll ever make. Not all photographers are
created equal, some have more experience than others, some have
better equipment than others and some have more training than
others. Interviewing and selecting the best one for you is
difficult but we've created the "4C's of Choosing Your Wedding
Photographer" to help guide you through this process.
The first "C" is clarity. When looking through portfolios and
albums, check to see how clear the expressions are. Are you able
to see details in the photograph? Can you clearly see what
emotion the image conveys? Only professional grade lenses will
capture the highest clarity for your precious wedding images.
The second "C" is composition. A well-trained eye can capture
images that are beautifully composed. Look for signs that the
photographer is capable of composing your story in the way in
which you've envisioned. Are there feet & arms cut off in the
sample books? Too much floor or ceiling space in the samples?
Many times what you see in the books is what you get in your
album so make sure you're certain this person can compose not
only beautiful photographs but also interesting angles, points
of emphasis and soft lighting techniques to provide you with the
best possible photographs.
The third "C" is creativity. Are the images creative and
different from the traditional posed images seen in your parents
and grandparents albums? Do they show an element of art and
design like magazine ads? Are there options to add bordered
prints, sepia prints or hand-coloring into your package? Look
for someone who is fun and creative to capture your day in a way
that will stand apart from all of your friends albums.
The last "C" is caring. Is your photographer friendly and
considerate of you and your fianc?s wishes to not see each other
before the wedding? Will he or she get along with your friends
and family on the wedding day? You'll want to make sure you
build rapport with your photographer because many times, the
photographer is the one wedding professional you'll spend your
entire day with. During your wedding, he or she will be present
at your most private moments. In addition to having experience
and knowing what to expect, a caring professional will seek to
guide you through your special occasion without running your
entire day.
