Finding the Best Wedding Photographer

By Shawn Smith


A marriage is one of the most vital occasions which comes once a life-time (hopefully). Not only is it a point in time when two individuals come together as one, but the occasion can be captured on film. It is critical that you hire the right photographer to capture the essence of the day. In addition as marriage photos can be costly, it is important you do the research and find the right professional photographer that offers value and service.

Usually referrals for wedding photographers come through word of mouth. However if you do not know any individual that can help , the best way is to jump onto the Internet and do a search. Enter key phrases like "professional photographer" into Google or Bing and see what results you get. Google usually will target your geographic location, however if you would like to be specific, enter you location before the word photographer, for example" Melbourne Photographer".

When looking for your ideal photographer, you'll need to take into account the following aspects:

Price: this is always the obstacle. But I recommend that you do not base your decision entirely on price. Consider what service the photographer is providing in terms of locations, the length of service offered on the day and after service.

Testimonials: This I think is essential. Don't just take the testimonials of the photographers website as gospel. Naturally they will only have positive testimonials listed. Again jump onto Google and type in reviews and name of photographer and see what comes up. Weigh up any negative against the positive as a part of your considerations.

Portfolio: This is an obvious one. But ask to see their shots from previous jobs. From there you will get a good indication as to whether you like their style, angle shots and whether they will be in a position to capture the essence of what you want to achieve on your important day.
