Choosing the perfect photographer for the wedding has always been like cook as a chef. We never quite know who we are getting or how good they are. We don't know what can go wrong.Once the wedding preparation is done, the photos or video are the only record of your important day. It is a one shot deal with no UNDO button.
Here some tips may help us to choose a weeding photographer.
First step:
Thanks to technology,we able to google up the photographers' blog online without hassle ourself.Ask friends for wedding photographer referrals.Determine whether you like the posed formal style or creative with different angle or do you prefer the photographer who get amazing portraits and real emotion ( taking the moment of photo as well).Choose 3 photographer taht whose work you and schdule an appointment or phone consultation with each.
Second step:
Meet with photographers.Here you have opportunity to ask them important questions like: their pricing,do they have wedding package,can i take formal photos before my wedding?How many photos will i get?Do you carry backup equipment?Do you have backup person in case you become ill or on emergency circumstance? etc etc..This sound might be indicate we are fussy but as a customer,we have right to know what kind of service they are offered.As we know, the photographer's price quite expensive but we have to bear our mind that their charges includes camera equipment cost,photographer's skill,the time to spend,service after shoot and material cost (album cover /sticky cover/ photo paper)
Third step:
If you already choose the photographer and do book them early.Make it 6 months before your wedding date.One important question in this part - Is there chemistry between us and the photographer?Do i like their personality? Regardsless, if the photographer is the best photographer in the world ; if you have no chemistry,do not hire them. Remember your wedding photographer will be following you around for most of the day and you don't want to ruin your own wedding with a wedding photographer who you do not get along with.
My friend have experienced with unfriendly photographer during her engagement day.Truly, this photographer is a friend of hers and the photographer is doing part-time bridal photography as side income.The charges was cheap,approximately RM200 (for engagement).The problem arose when my friend received her photo album.The outcome really devastating and beyond her expectation.My friend managed to make complaint on her (as she had no chance to choose her own best engagement photos before it was printed out) but the photographer was too defensive.However, my friend paid in full amount and she will never recommend that photographer to anyone due to her bad service!
When it comes to wedding photographer meet with them based on skill and photos BUT choose your wedding photographer based on personality.
