How to Choose a Wedding Photographer And Do not Be Wrong

To date, from a huge list of offers of wedding and family photographers to the common man in the street, it's easy to get confused in the variety of services offered, prices, working conditions and other information related to this sphere of services.

It is easy to imagine what a difficult choice often the newlyweds stand when it comes to choosing a wedding photographer. Keen on shopping dresses, costumes, wedding rings, renting restaurants and other equally important attributes of the wedding celebration, lovers "to the last" postpone the decision of the question of who will save in the pictures that unique, solemn and, in their own, intimate state of happiness of the newlyweds , Their first kiss, greetings of relatives and friends, their tears of happiness.

How not to be mistaken when choosing   A wedding photographer, how to find the ideal ratio of price and quality, I, as a photographer with many years of experience, try to briefly tell in my article.

Just want to note that a truly professional wedding photographer can not be cheap. But, like in any rule, there is always an exception: there are certainly geniuses with minimal experience, capable of filming your celebration for a symbolic fee just as much as a professional professional ... but where are the guarantees that this is exactly "photogeny".

But do not just focus on the price. When choosing a wedding photographer, you just need to get acquainted with his professional portfolio. Appreciate his work from his point of view: does his style suit you, do you like his creative decisions, etc. But here, it must be remembered that potrfolios are the best works of the photographer - if you can put it that way, the "crown of creation", 30-40 photographs of 1000 pictures taken. Undoubtedly, potlolio is important, it allows you to acquaint the customer with your style and quality of work, create an impression if you want.

Finally, from a huge number of proposals, you found a photographer whose work was satisfied, and the price is right ... Call right away and make an appointment. Remember, a good wedding photographer orders are scheduled for several months in advance. And if your date is free, your date is still a big question.

In the course of a meeting with the photographer, ask him to show a few of the wedding parties he shot entirely - the material he gave to previous customers. Then you must finally form an opinion on the level of the photographer. Remember, a professional wedding photographer will always take a computer with his works to meet customers, and he will never refuse you in your request. Otherwise, you need to be alert ...

In the course of communication, discuss in detail with the photographer questions about how you imagine your photo session, listen to the opinion and wishes of the master, together with him find the most optimal solution. It is at this stage that you finally decide for yourself whether the photographer suits you as a person.

Do not forget that he will spend the whole day with you - the most significant and solemn day in your life. He will say where to stand, how to look, when to kiss, when to hug. For a single frame, several takes are required. (With regard to staging). But for all that, he should remain invisible: do not interfere with the collection of the bride, congratulations to relatives in the registry office, having time to take the necessary angle and make beautiful pictures (reportage shooting).

Be sure to swipe with selected photographers   Pre-wedding photography love story.   This is a separate little photo shoot - a romantic story of your love. Typically, a slide show pre-wedding shooting the newlyweds show their guests in a restaurant and include during the first dance of the bride and groom. Believe me, this is very romantic.

I'll tell you a little secret, in addition to the romantic component, pre-wedding photography also has a practical value. It, first of all, will help you get acquainted with the work of the photographer, get used to the style of his work .. And the photographer will give an opportunity to adjust to you. And on the day of the wedding you will meet as friends, which, undoubtedly, will positively affect the results of the shooting.

And of course with the photographer it is necessary to conclude a contract for the provision of services, which will clearly stipulate the terms of its work and the deadlines for submitting the material.

And in conclusion I would like to note that wedding photographers who really love their profession, investing their soul and emotions into it for a long time become family photographers for their clients. After all, young people still have so many wonderful and bright moments in their life: photoshoot of a pregnant mother, an extract from the hospital, christening, the first birthday, etc. This is how the wedding photo becomes a family photo.

This, in my opinion, is the most important points that should be taken into consideration when choosing a photographer for a wedding. I hope that by your advice helped you to approach this issue more sensibly and responsibly.
