"The 3 Most Frequently Made
Mistakes When Choosing a Wedding Photographer"
Mistake #1 - Choosing Only by Price
The best way to shop for a wedding photographer is by seeing
the quality offered, not simply a low price. Value comes
from being comfortable in knowing what you are getting and
in being confident with your decision. The photographers’
experience should show quickly and easily. He/she should
project a confident image, have solid photography ability
and experience, and use professional equipment. The quality
in what you will be purchasing should be obvious.
Mistake #2 – Not Asking for
Testimonials.
There are always a lot of photographers that think they are
good enough to be a wedding photographer and so they make
that claim. They bring their camera to friends’ weddings
that didn’t have the money to hire a professional, take a
bunch of photos, make a sample album and say they are in
business. They may even get away with it for a while. Is
that who you want to hire? Consider hiring a photographer
with experience who knows what they are doing. Ask for a
list of referrals.
Mistake #3 – Not
Scheduling a Pre-Wedding Planning
Session.
It's easy to be impressed with a few photographs on the
Internet, or be swayed by a friend’s referral to decide on a
wedding photographer. If you think that all you need to do
is simply send out a check and wait for your wedding day for
it all to fall into place, think again. Your chosen
photographer should always recommend a planning session. It
shows their commitment that your wedding day goes the way
you want and that they are open to your ideas. There are
just too many details to discuss (such as how to handle
divorced parents) that are simply too important not to sit
down and discuss before the wedding.
