A Picture Tells A Thousand Words.. Part1

When you're old and grey and your grandchildren ask about the night you married the man you've now shared a lifetime with, your pictures are going to tell the story for you. That being said, your photography is possibly the most important element of your wedding. When the food is gone and the linens put away, your pictures will remain and don't you want them to be fabulous? To help you on your quest to find the perfect photographer I'd like to give you some resources and ideas to think on.

First of all, there are several different styles of photography but the main ones we're going to look at are outdoor and indoor. It may seem silly but most photographers prefer to do one or the other. When you're researching your photographer take a look at where most of their work is done and consider if your venue is outside or inside. Always ask to look through at least 2 entire wedding albums to see their style and how many times it took them to get that "perfect" shot! If you are making a personal connection with the work then it's time to move on. Remember that even a broken clock is right twice a day and any photographer is bound to get at least 1 GREAT shot out of every 1000 pictures per wedding. That GREAT shot is then showcased on their website and without the right research and interview questions you could be their next practice wedding. Here are just a few things to ask your potential photographer; Is there enough natural light coming in or would they need a flash? If they need flash and are using a separate stand, will that stand show up in some of your pictures? Will they have a lighting assistant or a second shooter? Don't be afraid to interview more than one photographer. If you like their style and they're listening to you then that's a great sign.
