LOVES & HATES
Steve Arnone of Skylite Images Fine Art Photo
Studio suggests it's key you "get an
understanding of what you like and what you
don't like in photos. If you absolutely hate a
certain look or pose, then let the photographer
know so that adjustments can be made early on.
We use the engagement session to review what
couples like/don't like in their pictures. This
helps with shooting the day of the wedding--we
already know what to stay away from".
PRICE FIX
Get a fix on why photographers set their prices
where they do. As Brent Foster of Brent Foster
Photography cautions, "a common mistake is
comparing photography solely on price.
Imagine shopping for cars and just listing the
prices from a Mercedes to a Ford Escort. Yes,
they are all cars, but some are made better than
others. Decide what you want/need in your
photographer, and base your decision on
quality of work. Of course, it needs to fall
within a certain budget, but don't expect to get
the same quality when hiring a low-priced
photographer. There's a good reason that high
quality photography is an investment. Your
grandchildren will thank you one day when
they look back at your wedding day".
FUTURE FORWARD
Your wedding photos are not just about today
but about tomorrow, too. Corina Van Sluytman
of Corina V. Photography gives some advice
that is "more of a memory preservation tip. I
would recommend that every bride order a
professional album from their photographer.
This way your photos will be beautifully
printed and bound in your first family
heirloom and you will have something tangible
to pass on to future generations. So many
brides just get the DVD of photos and never
print them and sometimes even misplace it
when they move, etc. The wedding album is
like the final chapter in your wedding journey
and it is the best way to honour your special
day and preserve your family history".
FOCUS, FOCUS
By following the great advice from these
professional wedding photographers, you have
the information at hand that you need to be
able to focus in on how to make an excellent
choice when it comes selecting who will shoot
your wedding photos.
