What should I consider before deciding on a Wedding Photographer?
- Style – Before you begin researching photographers, you’ll need to first decide what photography style you prefer as that will help determine which kind of photographer you’ll want shooting your wedding. You may be looking for formal-posed portraits or more of a documentary or photojournalistic feel. Many wedding photographers can do a blend of portraiture and documentary-style shots in a mix of black-and-white and colour images.
- Review their work – Take a look at the photographer’s website and blogs to check out photos of other weddings they’ve photographed to get an idea of their style. Check out their social media presence such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages too.
- Interviewing – It is a good idea to meet your potential photographers in person. Set up in-person or video meetings with three to five potential photographers who are available on your wedding date to look at more of their work and assess whether your personalities mesh. Be prepared to talk about your venue, wedding style and what you envision for your photos.
- Wedding Albums – Ask to see at least one or two complete albums of weddings that are in similar settings to yours. For example, if you are planning your wedding on a beach at sunset, you’ll want to see pictures with that in the background.
- Your Rights – Most contracts stipulate that the photographer owns the rights to all photos taken at the wedding, even the ones of you. Consequently, the photographer can use them promotionally on their website or blog, submit them for publication and even place them in ads. Unless you negotiate otherwise, you’ll have to buy the rights to the images.
You can be confident that any of the Joburiprivate local wedding photographers listed will capture memories that last a lifetime.
What should I look for in a Wedding Photographer?
You do not need any formal qualifications to become a photographer but a good eye, creativity and technical ability are essential. Most professional photographers have taken a college or university course in photography to develop their skills.
Before choosing a professional, you may also want to ask for examples of past work, which could include images of different types of pictures that they have taken in the past. You could also look at their profile page on Joburiprivate. Joburiprivate can show you wedding photography reviews from past customers too, as well as examples of work that they have completed. This might also help you get some ideas for the style of wedding photography you might like.
