Choosing a Wedding Photographer

Filed under: article — Tags: , , , , , , — silvasphoto @ 8:03 pm

Wedding photography is one of the most important parts of the wedding.  After the wedding, the flowers will wilt, the food will be eaten, the decorations will be thrown away, but the wedding photos and the wedding album will stay with the family for years and years to come.  Most people still have their parents’ or grandparents’ wedding albums 10, 20, 50 years after the wedding.

The wedding day is the one day in a person’s life that they actually NEED a professional photographer.  The bride looks more beautiful on this day than any other day in her life.  She has probably spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on the wedding dress, her makeup, her hairstyle, her shoes and her accessories.  You need a professional photographer to make sure that you and your wedding are captured in the best way possible.

How to choose a wedding photographer

Price
A major consideration for most wedding couples is the price.   Some couples allot 10% of their wedding budget for the photographer; others allot 60% of their wedding budget.  It all depends on how important wedding photography is in your priorities.

Wedding photographers range anywhere from $900 - $5000.   Usually, the higher you pay, the better quality photography you will get.  This is because, in general, better wedding photographers are able charge more.  Sometimes, you will luck out and get somebody really good but still in the early part of their career so you can get a lower price.

Generally, depending on your needs, it is cheaper to buy a whole package than buying a la carte.

Wedding Photography Package
In today’s digital age, it is very important to own a CD of your wedding photos.  Make sure your wedding photography package includes a CD of your high-resolution images that you will be able to print, view and share from, or that it is relatively inexpensive to purchase it from your wedding photographer.

Style
There are different styles of wedding photography.

  • Traditional Wedding Photography
    This is the photographic style from our parents’ and grandparents’ wedding albums.  In traditional wedding photography, the photographer poses and sets up everything.  This produces very pleasing, formal, “perfect” images which sometimes might seem too unnatural or contrived. 
  • Photojournalistic Wedding Photography
    (also called documentary, candid photojournalism)
    In photojournalistic wedding photography, the photographer captures moments as they happen and doesn’t direct any action at all.  The resulting photographs look more natural but might be too gritty sometimes.
  • Portrait Journalism 
    Portrait Journalism is a blend of the traditional and photojournalistic style.  This is a great compromise for people who want the more modern look of photojournalism but also a little bit of the traditional elegant poses.

When you find a wedding photographer that you like, book him or her as soon as possible to ensure their availability.  Most wedding photographers reserve dates on a first-come, first-served basis so make sure you book them so you don’t miss out.
