My tips for finding the best wedding photographer
Date, church, venue, dress … I think I took the right order but still missing important pieces in the grand puzzle wedding as the photographer.
I will tell you what I see essential when hiring a photographer (which must take into account the views that you do) and bring the point of view of the bride . It will help you weigh.
Compare. Word of mouth is essential. When you do not know where to start you have to ask. Although I entered the web for a look, I decided to go see the photographers who had recommended me. On the third visit I found Miriam Robledo , who loved and, above all, I’m sure the wedding day will be a support and not a problem, so it was a fairly simple search.
Do you have the feeling? Surely one of the most important things that you have to feel the day know your photographer, it is feeling .Realize that happen to you a lot of time in one of the most important days of your life.
My tips for finding the best wedding photographer
Do You like your job? Do not forget that a lot of complicities that you may have with that person, you have to be clear is that you like the work you do. Pray that I teach several albums because what you see on the web will be specially chosen and will not always be representative. It is also important that you see the albums if they have traditional or only digital, and its style layout and materials.
How long will it be? Be sure that they will be with you all the time . This seems so obvious, it is not. One day I visited a photographer which had very good references. The truth is that the photos were spectacular but told me that she, for the duration of dinner, going to dinner somewhere else because if I married at 19:00, maybe not eat anything from 15:00 and he had to go. I tell you that people have to dinner and so you have to tell the catering, but not to go to the wedding. Imagine someone gets up in the middle of dinner and says a few words, they will not be to immortalize? What if they get a flat tire or are damaged the car and take in return? Therefore, essential: that will not be wedding at any time.
You will also find with photographers that you propose be in your house two hours before starting the ceremony and leave an hour after the dance. If they are very professional, they will leave when they feel they have finished their work, because sometimes you have to be much later than one hour after the dance. With the home arrival time, it is equal. Think if two hours is enough or you fancy before they are before something and commentable.
Who will take the photos at the wedding? Sometimes we go to a photographer with a long name but then discovered that maybe it is not he who comes to your wedding and go their teams of photographers. We all are professionals and the style will be similar, but maybe is not what you expected you, therefore, be sure that those who will be with you are the people who you want, not to bring you unpleasant surprises.
How many photographers go? Most of the time usually two photographers what come to your wedding but not always. For me, this was very important. In my wedding, I will have many guests prefer to have, at least, two. I do not want to risk any unforeseen, it is a too important to fail some day. Lo with several batteries, cameras, etc., I think it goes without saying.
When will I get my photos? As for delivery times , possibly they will tell you that around the honeymoon will have pictures prepared and in about two months will deliver the album but I’ve asked my friends, the thing usually expands more than expected.
Can they do the pictures in the church? I do not want to finish this post without mentioning the photographers who have exclusivity in churches. In general, any boyfriend like their photos and many of his peers hurts to call professionals. His works are like thirty years ago, lack only uses film cameras (not surprise me that some Doing so). It ‘s a shame that one of the most important days of our life we can not choose who immortalize the moment of “I do”. This problem occurs because the photographers pay exclusivity to church as a donation and, much as you insist on solving this with other donations, for example, close and say it’s because they know perfectly the parts of the ceremony and work with respect for the place where they are. Surely, among these photographers, they have highly qualified professionals but from what I’ve heard not a typical implementation . My advice: try to speak with the pastor and convey how important it is that you be accompanied by someone of your confidence, to see if we are lucky. If you have no choice, my suggestion is to ask them the pictures on a DVD format “RAW” and that your photographer the retouching and will include them in the album, not to have two different.
How long before the contract? To close, a tip: make haste seek photographer. The best are often busy with dates well in advance, especially if they want to go personally and none of their teams.
I know there are many professionals who follow this blog and I apologize in advance because they are the real experts on the subject, but what opines about these problems? ? And you?
