Dear Bride and Groom
Months of dedicated planning, budgeting and the associated stress
has gone into the preparation of your special day. Believe it or
not, it’s all over before you realize it. The reality is that all
that you will have left are the memories of your day captured by
your photographer. These photos will be shared not only by you, but
by your friends and loved ones for the rest of your and their lives.
Hence, it goes without saying that one needs to take careful
consideration when choosing a photographer. The next question is how
does one go about doing this?
Firstly, it is common that all to-be-married couples are limited by
budgets. The first step would be to peruse photographers that fall
within your budget. One of the most accessible avenues would be to
visit these photographers’ web sites to obtain an idea of their
style. Select a few photographers whose style falls within your
forte and thereafter arrange a meeting with each of them. At this
meeting you should insist on viewing their portfolio/s in print. It
should always be kept in mind that photographers will only use their
best, most recognised and loved photos in their portfolios to obtain
the desired result. There are photographers who have been taking
wedding photos for a number of years and hence their portfolios are
fully endowed with their best photos. Keeping this in mind, it is
imperative that you ask your photographer to have a look at a
“sample wedding”. Perusing the sample wedding allows you the
opportunity to have a look at all the photos of a specific wedding
in its entirety. It goes without saying that this will not only
allow you to get a feel of the photographer’s style but will also
give you the opportunity to examine the quality and consistency of
the photos.
Another important tip which needs to be kept in mind is that your
photographer will spend majority of your special day with you, and
hence you need to ensure that you and your partner not only feel
comfortable around this person, but that you have the necessary
faith and belief in that your photographer will not only keep you
relaxed but you will also feel rest assured that the photographer
will not add to the stress accompanied with a wedding. If this is
neglected, unfortunately, it will show in your photos.
Natural, timeless, and spontaneous photography best describes my
photographic style. My experience coupled with my love of
photography will ensure that your expectations are not only met, but
well exceeded. I understand the extreme importance and personal
nature of a wedding and hence I avail myself to ensure that I work
closely before hand with not only the to-be-married couple but as
well as with your family and friends. This not only gives you peace
of mind but ensures that I capture all the decisive, intimate and
romantic moments throughout your special day. I invite you to
compare my portfolios, as well as my packages with other
photographers in the industry and I do believe that you will be
pleasantly surprised.
Wishing you the best with your planning.
