Getting married is an incredible experience. It is a day full of emotions, joy, happiness and sometimes a bit of sadness when a family member or friend who is no longer with us to share our special day. We know how stressful it can organizing your wedding day. With so many photographers around, where do you start from?
What do you need to know when looking for a wedding photographer? With prices ranging from a few hundred pounds to thousands, how do you know if they are right for you? It is a simple fact of life that with the advent of digital cameras, many people are now calling themselves "photographers".
Over the last year there has been an explosion of people who offer their services as wedding photographers, many of which have never received training, do not have insurance, do not use professional equipment and do not have sufficient backup in place to cater for any eventuality.
You don't have to get trapped in these scams. Rather, you can opt for reliable companies like Tulieve Photography that offer photographers with years of expertise and potential to make your wedding day exceptional. A professional photographer will have all of the above and this is a quick post "Help Guide" for the things to look for and questions we suggest you ask when choosing a wedding photographer.
Grab yourself a cup of tea and be comfortable. This is not a definitive guide, only a general idea of what to look for.
Looking for a Photographer:
Personal recommendation
Have you been to a wedding recently? What do your friends think of their photographers? As a wedding photographer, majority of their clients come from personal recommendations from any of Bride and Grooms who have used them, or from Venues that determine the quality of work they produce and fantastic value for money that they offer.
Google And Other Search Engines
A quick search on one of the major search engines will produce a mind-numbing amount of options. For example, if you type into Google the search term "Wedding Photographer" it will return millions of results. Simply going through each result would take you years, so as a general rule of thumb, stick with those on page 1 or page 2.
The reason for this is simple: If they're on pages 1 or 2 then they've taken the time to ensure that their website is well designed, optimized and placed, to ensure that the product or service is easy to find for brides and Grooms.
Choosing Photographers
Once you have decided the date, have already booked your wedding venue and confirmation is received, then book all other services required for your wedding day as quickly as possible. Leaving it to the last minute to book your wedding photographer is not a good idea.
