How to choose a wedding photographer

Notwithstanding the significance of choosing a good life partner, it is imperative to choose a professional wedding photographer, who plays an important role in capturing memories, which are keeps for generations ahead. The time, effort and money spent in planning for a wedding should go hand in hand in selecting a photographer too. Hence the choice of a good wedding photographer should be made taking into account the following factors.

Choosing the style of a wedding photographer:

Choice of style goes in line with the interest of the wedding couple about the approach they want to adopt. While the traditional approach which involves capturing mostly posed pictures is one option, a glamorous approach akin to fashion photography is another. Another available option is to be keen on capturing candid shots of the wedding couple, when they are oblivious to the instances when they are being photographed. Freestyle, a combination of all the above-mentioned styles is another unique option, “best of both the worlds”. 

Level of services offered by the wedding photographer

Making a choice on the duration of the wedding photography, whether for a couple of hours or capturing the entire event as a package is another factor to be planned, based on the level of services. The package would also include pre-wedding engagement sessions, bridal portraits and newlywed pictures.

Number of Photographs:

Wedding couple should decide on the number of photographs (ranging from 100 to 1,000) for their wedding day. Generally, professional photographers likePure7 Studios capture many images running to about 3,000 or more to capture the event.

Constraints of time and expertise against Memorable Reminiscence:

Lack of both time and expertise to process the wedding images themselves either into an album of neatly edited and cropped pictures, would leave the couple to choose a photographer who would provide them with a compact disc of their images. But this choice has an inherent disadvantage of the disc just catching dust, losing out on the very purpose of displaying picturesque memories as a memorable reminiscence.

Money speaks Many Things:

An approximate of 12% of the entire wedding budget has to be set aside for wedding photography, for expenses of photographer fees, prints and albums. This estimation will enable the wedding couple to do away with photographers who are overboard.

Research:

Choosing a wedding photographer who works in tandem with an event management    company that works in the vicinity of venue is a good option. This information can be acquired either through acquaintances or by browsing websites.
