 How to Select the Right Photographer for Your Wedding Style and Budget

How to Select the Right Photographer for Your Wedding Style and Budget A wedding photographer is ultimately the keeper of your most cherished memories. He or she will provide the photographic evidence of the day you made your marriage vows. Therefore, it's important that you find someone who is reputable, someone who will capture your day with grace and style.


Choosing the wrong photographer could be disastrous, but how do you go about choosing the right one? Obtain Referrals Perhaps the best way to find a good wedding photographer is through word-of-mouth. You'll want to consult relatives and friends who have recently married and find out who they used. Make sure, though, you find out whether your family and friends were sufficiently satisfied with the final product.

Be sure to view their photos if possible, do you like the photographer's style? Also, if possible, hire a professional rather than try to rely on a volunteer. While amateur photographers mean well, they cannot duplicate the lovely results of the professional. Arrange a Meeting Once you have found some prospects, be sure to arrange face-to-face meetings.


In fact, you should schedule meetings with at least three photographers so that you can have a basis for comparison. It is important to see examples of the photographer's work, so you get a feel for his or her individual style. Some photographers prefer to do formal portrait work, while others specialize in candid or "photojournalistic" poses.


In other words, if you're looking for traditional photos, don't hire a trendy photographer to do the work. All Inclusive Weddings - Photographer Included? A newer option on the market today is the all inclusive wedding package. If you are purchasing an inclusive package, more often than not, your photographer will be included in the package price.


If this is the case for you, be sure you follow all the steps mentioned here, and, find out ahead of time if you get to choose from several photographers....or if they select one for you. Find Out What is Included...Any "Hidden" Costs? During your meeting, ask the photographer for a price list.


Be sure to find out what packages are available, or if you can craft your own to meet your unique needs. While it is important that you find a high-quality photographer, it is also crucial that you locate one that you can afford. Be sure to ask how much re-prints cost after the fact. In addition, after your event and the photographer is paid, who owns the copyrights to the photos - you or the photographer?


This will impact whether or not you can make copies of the photos on your own, without violating copyright laws. Whenever possible, get a copyright release in writing from your photographer.


Another item to be aware of is the negatives. Do you get them in the cost of your photography package, or do they cost extra? What do they charge for "overtime" if you want them to stay longer the day of? Comfort Level It is also vitally important that you and your fiancÈ are comfortable with the photographer you choose.


You'll want one that is easy-going rather than overbearing. Remember, you'll be spending a great deal of time with this person, so it's important that you find someone you like, that you think will work well with your guests. Also, be sure to find out whether the photographer will be taking the pictures-or whether the duty will be delegated to an assistant.
