The right wedding photographer

Today I stumbled across some old images of a wedding I covered several years ago. The event has long past and no doubt the Church has seen many weddings since. The photographs of the day however still exist and I know stir the emotions of the bride and groom - providing permanent memories. So, how do you pick the right photographer to capture one of the most special days of your life?

The responsibility of picking the photographer is yours. That's a big responsibility. I could sit here and attempt to sell myself, but I won't. Instead, I'm going to attempt to use the knowledge I have acquired from behind the lens to hopefully make your choice easier.

This is what I'd be looking for in a wedding photographer

BLEND

I'd want our photographer to blend into the day. I'd want our guests to pass comments such as "The photographer was so friendly and unobtrusive". It's tricky, but I'd want the photographer to be part of the event without getting in the way.

I'd want our photographer to be there for us - and to go that extra mile to document our special day, providing the photographs that we deserve.

PASSION

Make no mistake about it, the wedding photographer is a professional that has a job to do. However, for me, it is essential that a wedding photographer has a passion for what he/she does. I don't want to hear "I've photographed hundreds of weddings". Instead I want to meet a photographer who has a passion for their job. Someone that appreciates how important our day is.

LISTEN BUT GUIDE TOO

It would be fundamental that the wedding photographer has the ability to listen, but also to advise where necessary. It would be essential that I felt happy in the company of the photographer. He or she would have to be a people person and not just a photographer.

BE RELIABLE

I'd want confidence in my photographer. I'd want them to understand the importance of our day. I'd want them to put us at ease through their knowledge and ability. I'd like to ask questions such as "What if it rains?" "What if your camera fails?", "Are you insured?" and "What happens if you are ill?"

Being behind the lens has given me a very concise idea of what I would want from a photographer. I would want our wedding photographer to think from our point of view and to fundamentally remember it's the Bride and Groom's wedding day. I'm not a salesperson; I like to think my work sells itself, so please take a moment to visit my gallery. I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a terrific Wedding day and a fruitful life together.
