Professional Wedding Photography, Is It Worth It

Wedding PhotographyWedding photography is one of the most important decisions you have to make when planning for your big day. You may have been planning your wedding for the best part of a year, or for some brides many years! Everything has to be perfect. There are so many different components to plan for a wedding. From the photographer, wedding cake, venue, food etc, it all needs sourcing and then bringing together. If you think about it, it is a huge undertaking, with all your work culminating on a single day of celebrations. Of course, all couples know that this costs money. The dress costs, the cake costs, not to mention the venue itself! Wedding photography can also be quite an expense and can average between 1000-2000. This can seem outrageously expensive to many but consider what you are paying for. fotografies gamou Wedding photography is an art and requires experience, knowledge and a certain skillset. There is also a lot more to wedding photography than just taking the photographs on the day. Often there are 3-4 additional days of editing after the event. The photographer may take anything between 2000-3000 images, this may then edited down to 300-500 images and then those are further edited individually. This is extremely labour intensive but photographers take pride in their work. Of course many people own decent cameras these days and it can be tempting to just get your friends and families to take the photo's, and you can bet that it is highly unlikely that they will be of the quality of a good wedding photographer. One of the things to consider is that your actual wedding day will come and go (and very quickly), the only to remind you of the day are the photographs. Many years down the line, some of the details of your wedding will no doubt fade and your wedding album may be the only thing left to connect your memories to the day. This is how important professional wedding photography is. The memories are priceless. Getting a professional to do the job frees up your friends and families to relax and enjoy the celebrations rather than having to stress about getting the images. A wedding professional also gives you piece of mind that your future memories are being captured by someone who knows what they are doing. Brides can often spend several hundreds of pounds on a wedding cake for example yet they balk at the thought of paying 1000 or so for a professional wedding photographer who will preserve their memories for life fotografies gamou. Wedding photography should be seen as an investment and over a lifetime the cost is nothing fotografies gamou. For me personally, I know that I am ever grateful for our wedding photographer who so skillfully captured our day. I occasionally look through our wedding album to bring back those precious memories and that is priceless. So, yes it is another cost but professional wedding photography is one of the best investments you can make in your wedding planning.


Are Expensive Wedding Photographers Better Than Inexpensive Wedding Photographers

Some brides and grooms out there pay excessive amounts for wedding photographers. There is nothing wrong with this if you know exactly the photographer you want and you fall in love with their work. It also helps if you can afford it. The question is however, is a more expensive wedding photographer a better photographer Is an inexpensive and more affordable photographer just not as qualified Well I know of one photographer that actually charges over $50,000 to shoot an 8 hour wedding. He sold the photos from the wedding at ridiculous prices to. Let's just say a wallet sized photo was $60. 00. And guess what The bride groom and their family ordered tons of pictures at those bloated prices Do you know what the photographer paid for the photoLet us just say he made out like a bandit. Wow. So basically if that photographer shot only 2 weddings a year that would be a pretty nice income for most people. Many photographers have figured this out and created their wedding photography package prices to be high priced and bloated. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with this but if you are wondering if these people that paid so much for their wedding photography got better photography coverage at their wedding because they could afford more, you are mistaken. So why did all these people pay so much money for their wedding photography Were the photos better qualityWere they on diamond covered photo paper Did he have a special camera No, no and no. This "high-end" photographer actually once worked at a regular priced photography studio. He left that studio confident that he could get a high price for his work and began marketing himself in more affluent areas with very classy looking, artsy ads. That was it. He only needed one or two weddings a year to make a good living but what he did do was change his perceived value. fotografies gamou Perceived value when it comes to anything is a funny thing. Was his photography so amazing He was really good as are many photographers but he also wasn't any better than the art student that came in with photos he took from his cousins wedding. He definitely in my opinion was not worth 50k. He shot weddings in the same nice attire that all the other photographers shot in, he had the same photography equipment as most of them. . . so what it comes down to is how he marketed himself and what his perceived value was. Word of mouth among the affluent about this "high-end" photographer allowed him to do very well in his business but behind the scenes, he was laughing all the way to the bank. A good photographer is a good photographer. You can change his/her perceived value around with a twist of marketing and words. The thing is, many photographers are not always great business people. If they were, they would open up their own studios and charge whatever they like. In fact, often inexpensive photographers can be true artists. They prefer to focus more on their passion of photography shooting weddings rather than being businessmen women. This I believe shows in their work. So basically what it boils down to is this; Decide what you are willing to spend on your wedding photography, visit only the studios that are in your wedding budget and then look at a sample wedding of the photographers work. This is the most important part. You have to like the style that you see in the photographers sample work. Look for testimonials and make sure that they promise you a backup photographer if something goes wrong. If you like what you see and the price is right then you can be assured that you are making the correct decision.


Bridal Photography - Wedding Photography Prices

Wedding Photography Prices have a huge range out there. I have seen prices starting at $350 up to $10,000! The saying "You get what you pay for" really hits home when it comes to wedding photography prices. There are a few basic services that are important to be included in the price:-Consultation before wedding for time line and list of pictures taken -Must have backup equipment -Must have professional equipment -The approximate number of pictures is enough for you -The number of hours will cover your timing -Proof viewing (Either online or a proof book) -A date in the contract stating when pictures will be available or when your wedding book will be completed -ReferencesTo expand on some of the above bullet points, you should definitely meet your photographer before your wedding day. It will make the relationship be more natural during the wedding day, and a time line and picture selection should be ready to go. Equipment fails more times than you think fotografies gamou. Make sure the photographer carries a second set of everything, including the power cords! If backup equipment is not available, pictures will not happen. Verify that the photographer is bringing adequate equipment. Bringing a point and shoot camera for your pictures will not provide professional quality results. The number of pictures at a wedding will vary, but if the photographer states 200 pictures for a 6 hour wedding, you should ask questions. The number of hours covered can be low to keep the initial price down. Make sure the number covers your day or be sure to include the cost of additional coverage. You should expect to view your photos online or printed. If this service is not available, you should push for this. They are your pictures and you should be able to view them all! fotografies gamou Photographers are very busy. I've heard stories of wedding albums taking over a year to be delivered to customers. Ask for a date to be placed in the contract. It will give you some leverage if it's taking an extremely long time to get your wedding album. References are important! Take a few minutes to ask for and call references to get a good feel for how the photographer works. Photographers are going to only give the good references so make sure you have a list of questions you want to ask to get a good feel for how the photographer operates fotografoi gamou. Remember, this is your wedding day. Ask questions, get answers and most importantly you should feel comfortable with your photographer!
