Re | the ; | | i SELECTING A PHOTOGRAPHER For YOUR WEDDING Photographs are some of the most important mementos of your wedding day. Years from now you and your family will look at your wedding photos with fond memories of your special event. Of course, you'll want your photographs to be perfect, and the best way to ensure good results is to begin with a good photographer. Photographers play an extremely important role in your wedding, often setting the pace of the day's events. He or she should have a level of expertise and professionalism that meets or exceeds your expectations, while still remaining within your prescribed budget. So how do you go about selecting the perfect photographer? It's easier than you think: here are some hints. Look for someone with whom you are comfortable. That person should listen to your likes and dislikes and should be able to provide helpful hints during the planning process of your wedding. Ask to see a portfolio of his or her work, and check to see if the photographer's style matches your own. Pay attention to his or her eye for small details. Ask for referrals. Friends and family who have recently married should be able to provide good suggestions. Interview several photographers. Most professional photographers will be happy to provide a list of satisfied customers, and if you have time, be sure to interview these couples before making your decision. Fees and services provided should be recorded in a contract which you must not sign until you are fully satisfied with the items. Fees can very tremendously based on services provided, so be specific about what you want and how much you are willing to pay for it. Ask about package deals. Some photographers will have package deals, wherein a predetermined number of photos are taken and the prints and album are included in the price. These can turn out to be quite a bargain and may save you a considerable sum of money. Don't expect miracles. Photgraphers can provide priceless mementos of your wedding day, but they can't make miracles happen. You might have to compromise on some issues to get the photographs you want. If you're willing to cooperate, your experience should prove more. than satisfactory. Have a great time in your photos! Sometimes the goofiest poses turn out to be the most memorable photographs. So if you want to pose in the arms of your groomsmen, go for it. Laugh and smile, sing and dance, if you like. The more fun you have, the better your photographs will turn out.
