When choosing a wedding photographer, it is important to know that you cannot find out about the photographer by just looking at a few photographs on the photographer’s website. What you want are not a few wedding portraits but rather the complete package of wedding pictures. The right wedding photographer should be able to take pictures of the family, the important moments and the venue in addition to great shots of the bridal couple.
One thing you need to check when looking for a wedding photographer is whether or not he or she practices creative wedding photography. Creative wedding photography means looking for ways to make the picture stand out more and be interesting rather than just boring or run of the mill. Anyone can take standard shots. Your wedding photographer should be able to use the elements available to create some interesting shots. This can imply anything from being aware of the weather, or the lighting to being aware of a particular theme you might have to use for your wedding. The wedding photographer should also be great at catching impromptu shots to capture the general feeling of the wedding. So, ask for these types of pictures to be included in the samples when you contact a wedding photographer.
In your search for the right wedding photographer, you should look for unique wedding photography; you are bound to visit hundreds of wedding photographers’ websites, so look for the website where there are different pictures. Maybe, it can be the photographer’s own unique style coming out. Many different photographers like to play around with Photoshop for interesting results. Others position their subjects in unique poses. Yet others capture something generic from a different perspective. Your wedding photographer should optimally have all of this and more. So, make sure you ask for a complete set of wedding pictures so you can judge how unique your wedding photographer is. At Candice Campbell Photography, we use all available and current technique to make our photos as interesting and unique as possible.
Photojournalistic wedding photography requires a great amount of detail and perfectionism. This includes taking several different shots of the same thing so that there are many different to choose from. It can often be a tiring process, but your wedding photojournalist should be dedicated enough to do it. In order to ensure that you are getting such a dedicated artist, see if the photographer has more than one shot of the same people. Thus, once again, look for a photographer who has a wide variety and large quantity of photos posted online in his galleries, not just a few random photos. Also, try to determine if he has any criteria in selecting the shots he uses to promote his business. In other words, if there are photos that are poorly exposed, blown out, blurry etc. – there is obviously a reason to be cautious in hiring this person.
Your wedding is a very important day, and you deserve the best. Do not settle for anything less than that in your wedding photographer. Hire a company like ours – Candice Campbell Photography. We provide the absolute best in quality, service and finished product.
