When you prepare your wedding, you spend a lot of effort and money on your dresses, bouquets, banquets and other “thousands of things”. But generally within a few hours, the bouquets would have been thrown away, the next day your wedding gown ends up in a corner of the closet and “everything will disappear”. Maybe what’s really left for you are photos of your wedding. They are reminders of beautiful memories on your most special day. So important is the meaning of the photos that you have to choose the best photographer for your wedding day.
A good wedding photographer can create truly amazing scenes that will leave you speechless when you see them. However, a bad photographer can ruin the most beautiful places and ruin the memories of the most beautiful days and visual legacy that you will leave behind for the next generation.
4 basic keys
* Don’t be fooled by additional products such as albums.
* Look at the previous works of the photographer.
* Don’t be impressed by a beautiful wedding, supermodel or wedding site that might not be like yours.
* Make sure you meet your photographer at least a week before D-Day and that you get along well. On the wedding day, the photographer will be your mainstay!
Price?
Sometimes people ask for loans for anything, but they don’t want to spend it on their wedding memories, even though it’s a visual inheritance they will leave behind for the next generation.
You can buy furniture now and think that when you save more, you will buy better, but with wedding photos you cannot, photos are something you only invest once and for all.
Wedding photography is something that should not be chosen based on the most competitive prices. An excellent photographer deserves to be paid well.
You must choose a photographer that you really like. Don’t let yourself be persuaded by the offer of the biggest canvas or album in the world and with thousands of different fabrics to choose from. Those are secondary things that you will have plenty of time to choose later. This has long been one of the biggest mistakes in wedding photography.
Where do I start searching?
Never choose the first photographer you see, or who is recommended by the wedding venue. Sometimes you see horrible photos in the most beautiful places, just because of the commission taken between the owner of the wedding venue and the photographer.
Don’t look for photographers only in your area, sometimes the best photographer may not be close to where you live. Google is not a bad way to search. Although there are many choices, you need to make a list and compare. It is a fact that a photographer who first appears in a Google search does not mean that it is the best.’
Style, skill …
Can you compare some photos? Maybe in this context you can’t say which is better and which is worse. All you know is when you see some photos, you know that you like them. They reach you inside and make you feel something special, which is when you know that you have found your photographer.
Lately, the term wedding photojournalism has been coined and it is true. A photographer is like a journalist that must tell the story of the day and must be able to transmit the atmosphere there, capturing moments that are expressed by guest and observers, such as tears, laughter, hugs, and other magical moments. It is also important to capture all the details that you have spent months preparing with such love.
