List of things to look for in a photographer and videographer
One of the most important people you will hire will be your photographer and videographer.
Once everything is drank, eaten your photos and video will be the only memories you have left. There are many qualities you should consider when choosing the perfect company to capture your memories.
First, referrals are always the best, talk to your friends and family and ask what they thought about their wedding photographer. If they we happy with their services you should meet with them on your own. Word of mouth is the best advertisement you can start your search with. You can also look in magazines, wedding websites, PhotograpphyPros.com, wedding shows. Try to reserve your date 6 months before your wedding and do not be surprised if the best companies are booked a year out.
Once you have your list select your top five photographers and videographers and make appointments to meet with them. Make sure you have a clear budget set for your photos and video services before meeting with them. When you go to meet with them try to have a clear idea of what you want. This will help you determine which photography company will best fit your needs. Do you want a traditional style photographer? Or would you rather go for a more journalism style photographer who will capture this in the spare of the moment and as they are happening.
When you meet with the photographer and videographer look at their portfolio, do they have a large selection of wedding photography and video samples? Do they have professional equipment and back up equipment? Remember with all the technology now available you will find many new students starting out at lower prices who are still trying to build their portfolio. Remember this is what your wedding photos and video will look like.
Once they provide you a package that they feel will meet your needs, ask questions and if the package does not meet your budget let them know. If you are fortunate, the photographer you choose will offer for you a CD with all of the images. If this is the case you own the images and can do with them what you please.
One of the other most important things is…do you like them? Remember these are the people who will be with you the entire day. Do they make you at ease? Do you feel comfortable with them? Most importantly do you feel like you can trust them with your precious memories.
