Wedding Photography

For most of us, our wedding will be the stuff dreams are made of. Our every heart’s desire and our every goal in life boils down to this one all-important day. The details of this all-important day typically take lots of time and concentration to iron out. Most of us have already designed this particular picture of what we expect our wedding day to look like, and one of the most important factors that will determine the outcome of that day is the choice of photographer you make.

Unfortunately, far too many people have more than one question about finding a wedding photographer. If you’re among the many thousands of brides and grooms who will marry this year and you’re becoming increasingly concerned about selecting your wedding photographer, read on for some tips and tricks on making the decision as smooth as possible.
One of your very first considerations should be your budget. It’s important that you first determine exactly how much your photographer plans to charge. Some photographers charge by the hour, and others charge a specific flat fee. If your photographer of choice charges by the day as opposed to by the hour, it is a good idea to take into account the number of hours that makes up the standard day. For example, suppose you’ve asked your wedding photographer to cover your rehearsal dinner as well as pre-and post-ceremony activities. If this is the case, you’ve got at least two full days of service ahead of you.
You should also review your photographer’s contract very thoroughly before signing.The contract you have with your photographer can make or break a wedding experience. Be sure that you’re open, clear, and concise with your photographer in order to help avoid problems.
You may also find it beneficial to question your photographer about the timeframe expected to get your proofs and your prints returned. Believe it or not, when it comes to a wedding, time is of the essence. You see, if too much time passes after the event but before the pictures, people tend to lose interest. If you’re paying a substantial sum of money for quality photographs, that fee should also take into account the timeframe you’ll have to wait before getting the pictures returned to you.
Remember, wedding photography will be the highlight of your big day. Your pictures will live on forever — choose wisely
