There is a lot to consider when you look for a photographer for your special day. There are a lot of "so called" photographers out there who try to convince you they are a professional, and they undercut the market just to try & get the job. Things to be aware of before the to good to be true price comes along.
- First, be sure to view "enlarged" photos of 8x10 size to truly judge photo quality
- Remember anyone can make a photo look good on a website, it means very little.
- Backup equipment: Many non- professionals don't have back equipment, so what happens if their flash stops working?
- Insurance, does the photographer who gave you the "dream price" have insurance?
- Do their poses look professional such as the formal photos? Many amateurs or inexperienced photographers lack the detail needed to professionally pose people and this can really cheapen the look of your photos.
- Lens quality: Makes a huge difference in photo quality when you enlarge a photo. Do they have "pro grade" lenses, or do they use the consumer priced lenses? How many lenses do they have- will all your photos look the same because they only have one lens?
- How many weddings have they done? Three or several hundred?
- Don't trust the most important day in your life to a "wanna be photographer"
