Capturing Images of Your Special Day

One of the ways that you can remember your wedding day is with pictures. You can let friends and family take pictures of special times that they see at the wedding, before the ceremony, and at the reception. Another option is to hire a wedding photographer who can take professional pictures, editing them in any way so that they are cherished for years to come. Most wedding photographers will give you a disc with all the images that are taken at the wedding, reception and before the wedding takes place. This will allow you to print the pictures that you like or digitally send them to friends and family.

Style Issues

Figure out what kind of style you want for your pictures. It could be a vintage design or one that is fun and playful. This will help determine what kind of photographer you should hire as there are some who specialize in different areas over another. The style of pictures that you choose should also reflect the props that you might use as well. You could include a champagne glass or two to represent a date or brilliant colors for an edgy scene.

Review and Research

Before you hire a photographer, read the reviews that are submitted by other people.

Look at the way that the site is designed because the time and effort put into the company website can be an indication of how much effort the photographer puts into pictures that are taken.

Meet With Potential Photographers

After putting together a list of photographers you might want to work with, hold an interview with them to get a better idea as to how they will interact with people. Ask to see pictures that have been taken of other weddings and special events as this will give you an indication as to what to expect with your own pictures. Find out if the photographer is available on the dates that you need pictures made. If that person can’t take the pictures, then ask if there is an assistant or someone else who can take the pictures instead. Talk about the locations where you want to have pictures made as well because some photographers might know of other locations that offer more light or a better atmosphere.

Develop A Relationship

You don’t have to create a strong relationship with the person taking your pictures, but you do need to feel comfortable with that person. If the photographer doesn’t work well with others in the wedding or makes you feel in any way like you shouldn’t be present or that you must do something, then it’s best to find someone else. The photographer should be able to offer suggestions for poses and props in a positive manner instead of forcing poses on you and the wedding party. This should be a person who caters to your desires.
