The photographs from your wedding day will be a timeless memento of a truly special day. Wedding photographers can be very expensive, focus on a number of different styles, and offer a variety of levels of service. All the bridal magazines say to look at some basics like does the photographer work more classic style with a shot list or more in a photojournalistic style where they take just a few posed pictures, trying to tell the story of your wedding in a normal naturalistic style.\u00a0\u00a0 About 90% of the photographers today, do the more photojournalistic approach\u2026.so there needs to be more than just that to make your decision.<\/p>\n
The PPA (Professional\u2019s Photographer Association) recommends that you interview several photographers.\u00a0 Look at samples \u2013 complete weddings if possible.\u00a0 Do they specialize in a specific style \u2013 more artsy, more funk, more black & white?\u00a0 Do they have a variety of shots \u2013 far away, full body shots, close ups; do they provide just basic \u201ctypical\u201d shots like cutting the cake or do they also shoot special moments and emotions?<\/p>\n
Do you feel comfortable with that photographer?\u00a0 They will be spending most of the day with you and you want to develop good communication skills and feel comfortable with them.<\/p>\n
One note \u2013 photography and videography are two distinctly different fields, both requiring extensive training to produce high-quality results.\u00a0 Depending on your budget, you may want both photo and video coverage of your wedding \u2013 totally separate services.<\/p>\n
