How To Hire The Right Wedding Photographer
George Meszaros
Photographs are among the most important parts of all weddings.
The person you hire for this crucial task is an important part
of your wedding planning journey. The final outcome of the work
performed by your wedding photographer may be the only reminder
for you and your family to reflect on your big day.
It is no surprise that hiring the wedding photographer is a
high priority job. You should interview wedding photographers 6 months
to a year prior to your wedding day. Popular photographers get
book early, so make sure you don’t leave it to the last minute.
If you have a Saturday wedding during the peak wedding season,
you have a lot of brides to compete with.
Make sure you hire an experienced photographer. You must look
at their previous work to see if their style is what you are
looking for. Your search is not so much about filtering out the
bad and hiring the good. It is more about finding the
photographer that has the right style you are looking. It is a
matter of taste.
Ask around when searching for a photographer. Recently married
friends, neighbors, or coworkers should be able to provide you
with a list of potential wedding photographers. Wedding
planners should be able to recommend wedding photographers too.
Ask for references, and then check references. Too many people
are satisfied with asking and receiving references, but many
never actually follow through and check those references. When
you call the references, ask about timeliness, professionalism,
customer service, or anything that is important to you. Even if
you think you have found an experienced photographer with the
right style, don’t hire them unless you feel comfortable
working with them. You don’t want to spend your wedding day
with a person that makes you feel uncomfortable.
Make sure your photographer understands your budget. Agreeing
on the budget should be part of early negotiations. Understand
what exactly is included in the budget. Ask for negatives, so
you are able to have photos made at will. If you don’t own the
negatives, you could be taken advantage of down the road.
A written and signed contract should be part of the hiring
process. Everything that is important should be part of the
contract. A written contract is mutually beneficial; it
protects you and the photographer.
