Choosing a Wedding Photographer
Your wedding day is one of the most important days in your life. It is not unusual for modern day couples to spend years planning their wedding day. So after all your effort and hard work and your wedding day has been and gone, you need to make sure that you have a record of your day that captures not only what happened, but also all of the feelings and emotions.
1. How much planning do you put into a wedding?
We put a lot of emphasis on the planning stage. In fact we produce a storyboard rather like a film studio would do. It enables us to have all of the relevant information at hand when we need it. It includes key shots, where to take them depending on the weather and who needs to be in them. It frees up more of our time to capture the events unfolding.
2. Do you always get along with the couple?
We do our best to get to know you both before you make a decision about using us or not. We do this by offering a no obligation engagement shoot, usually at a location that means something to you both. That way we get to know each other, you get to see photographs of yourselves and we learn from the comments you make when we view them together.
3. Do you show couples more than one complete recent wedding in order to help them assess your work?
We are proud to show you our work as we are full time professionals. We love to get feedback from as many people as possible as it only makes us better at what we do.
4. Do you work on your own?
I take all of the photographs and I am helped by two assistants
5. Do you have backup equipment and is it the same quality as the primary equipment?
We have a spare of all of the important equipment we need on the day just in case.
6. What time do you begin and how long do you stay until?
Our full day coverage starts with the bride getting ready and ends after the first dance.
7. When do couples get to see the proofs?
We aim to get the proofs ready for the couple’s return from their honeymoon.
8. How long do you keep images?
We don’t delete the images after three years we keep them backed up, but obviously we can’t guarantee to have them forever.
9. Do you use the latest equipment to expose natural light?
Our equipment is state of the art and the most suited to wedding photography, with an aim to use as little flash as possible.
10. Do you have telephoto and wide-angle lenses?
We use a wide range of lenses, all top of the range Nikon, which enable us to get all of the different types of shots we need.
11. Do you like to work with other vendors such as wedding co-ordinators, caterers and videographers?
We aim to help make your wedding day as perfect as possible. If this means helping out with various other vendors in small ways we will because we care.
12. How do you dress for the day?
We dress smartly and are careful not to lower the tone of the wedding in any way.
13. What type of wedding albums do you use?
We pride ourselves on being aware of all of the options available to the wedding photographer so far as wedding albums are concerned. We are confident in our choice of what we believe are the best quality album manufacturers in the world. Booked Images www.bookedimages.com and Queensberry www.queensberry.com
14. Do you design the albums and can couples make changes to the design?
We take the outcome of your wedding photography seriously, which does not stop at producing an amazing set of wedding photographs. We understand how important it is to design an album that will tell your wedding day story in style, so that you never tire of looking at it and you will also get great satisfaction from showing it off to your family and friends. We will work with you on the design until you are completely happy and then we will get it made by the best.
