Let us be frank, planning your wedding day is a nightmare! Other than building your own house, you will probably never have to employ so many different services. From cake makers to the DJ and from the limo drivers to the dress maker, it is easy to be overwhelmed by the choice. But of all the people you will engage to make sure that you have the perfect day the photographer is probably the most difficult whilst at the same time being the only one that you are relying on to leave you a lasting reminder of the day. When you are sitting in your rocking chair with your grandchildren on you knee you will still have your wedding pictures to relive your special day. It is clear that finding the best Wedding Photography Atlanta Georgia is vital, the following are things to consider.
Look a good reference from a close friend or family to get you started. These may be having previous experiences with photographers and may do well to recommend an excellent one that may know or have heard of. Try to get linked up with them and start with asking to see their album, this is easy as what bride does not like to drag out and show off that?
Do you carry liability insurance? Every wedding vendor should have a minimum $1 million liability policy. This insurance covers accidents or damage the photographer may cause while working. You don't want to end up responsible for their damage. Protect yourself.
How much did they charge and what did you get for that money? How fast did they take the formal family pictures (none of the guests like these so a good photographer should be able to whip through them at an average sized wedding in about 20-30 minutes)?
You should provide limitations on things he shouldn't photograph, such as the bride or groom undressed. If you're receiving digital negatives in the package, you'll need the photographer to grant you a copyright license to use the digital files for unlimited personal printing. The contract will have a "Failure to Perform" section. It should state that you are entitled to a full refund of all money paid, including the deposit, should the photographer not photograph your wedding.
Finally, make sure you and your spouse-to-be have a friendly relationship with the photographer. You should feel at ease with the photographer because he or she will be giving you direction and moving you into position for portraits.
Last but definitely not least, the world's greatest research tool is at your command, the internet. If you type marriage photographer into one of the search engines you will get literally millions of results so narrow down your returns by adding your area or town for example "marriage photographer wilmslow" or add your venue for example "marriage photographers crewe hall".
Having done this you will still be faced with a huge list as it seems that everyone who has bought themselves a nice camera for Christmas is trying their hand at wedding photography. So how to cut the wheat from the chaff?
