TIP 15 – Picking a Photographer
The Photographer
It’s hard choosing a photographer, but make sure that you meet the photographer in person first, that is vital as they will actually be a big part of your very special day. If you do not gel at an early meeting, then move on!
Style of Photography
Do you like the photographs? Are they what you would like taken on your wedding day? I take primarily reportage style informal photos, I believe it is important that you are relaxed on your big day!
Questions to Ask…
Do we get a DVD? What are the terms of use?
Yes, with all my packages you receive a hi-res copy of the images for you and your parents to print from and also a lo-res copy, perfectly sized for Facebook and emailing. There is no logo on any of them.
How many photos do we get?
You get all the good ones from me, edited to perfection - around 160-200 for a full day’s wedding coverage, see my Tip 12 for numbers to be wary of.
How do you back-up your images?
On 2 separate hard drives, and a DVD in a separate location, plus online.
What happens if you are sick?
I have 3 other photographers who I trust very much who I would ask to cover my event. I have never missed one wedding yet.
I am shooting in the very grand, and draped in history Royal College of Physicians tomorrow, can’t wait to use all those luscious backdrops!
Kathrin and Stuart are having a part-German celebration (from Kathrin’s side), where amongst other things the bride and groom will walking up the aisle together!
Thanks to the square meal website for this image.
It’s off to the Dalmahoy again this weekend for Rachel and Stuart’s wedding reception. I love the venue and with the sun shining (it’s looking good guys!) it has so many options for photos that I will be spoiled for choice.
