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.
When you are choosing a marriage photographer, it is important to browse through a portfolio of previous work. Looking at a professional photographer's portfolio will give you sense of his or her individual shooting style. Photographers shoot many occasions other than marriages, but look pay particular attention to the examples of marriage photography. If you're having an outdoor marriage, look at examples of his or her photographs taken in outside settings.
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.
In this day and age where technology has advanced in photography, it will not be uncommon to find some photographers who only employ digital cameras in their work. Digital marriage photography is far more easy and cost effective than that with traditional film. The photos can be accessed immediately whether you want to see them and review or get them printed. Photo manipulation software allows professional photographers to enhance color and add visual effects to prints. Find out what type of photo editing capabilities a marriage photographer has and which digital enhancement services are included in his or her cost.
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.
So you have tried personal recommendations and none are pressing you buttons, so what next. Well by now you will probably have booked your marriage venue so ask the coordinator there for suggestions, you will almost certainly will be given a list of photographers who have worked there before, but remember some venues will be taking a cut of the photographers fee for the recommendation so whilst a good starting point you still have some research to do.
A marriage photographer with years of professional experience should be able to carry on a friendly conversation while taking high quality pictures. Allow the photographer time to become familiar with the marriage location so he or she is able to choose proper lighting and the most scenic shooting locations.
