Why Should You Hire A Professional Wedding Photographer?

Do I really need a professional photographer? Is it really worth spending so much money on photographs? To be honest I don’t really understand why anyone would have any doubts here?  If you get a flat tyre, you go to a tyre shop to repair it, if your car breaks down, you call the AA, if your SKY box has bad reception you call…the guy. If you are getting married and want good photographs, you get yourself a wedding photographer! Simple as that! I think this is just one of those things that should be accepted and there is no reason to contemplate. You only get married once so why would you even be thinking of asking your friend or cousin to take some snaps? We all know that weddings cost a little fortune, so why not capture all those precious moments form that day in photographs you can cherish forever? So let’s think…what is the difference between your colleague or a family member who loves to photograph everything and has got a nice camera, and a Wedding Photographer? Well there are actually quite a few differences:) Lets start with the EXPERIENCE…the fact that a professional photographer has been to many weddings is quite handy.  Knowing how much time you can spend on each part of the day, knowing where to be to get the best photo, and not to mention knowing his camera inside out! These days almost every one can afford a fancy camera, but the question is whether they know how to use it? You don’t become a wedding photographer over night and owning good equipment doest make you one. It takes a long time to learn how to use your camera… photography school, tutorials, test shoots, meetings,planning, marketing, investing in all equipment – all that is a part of professional photographers. Photography is our passion and we truly love it, but at the end of the day it is our job and we need to be prepared for anything to make sure you get your photographs. Word of mouth is the very best marketing tool so for us photographers every wedding is equally important to do the best possible job, its our reputation. That is how we build our business, by constantly delivering great photographs to our clients.

Most of us don’t have any experience in working with a photographer, it can be quite tricky as you might get camera shy and feel like you are being watched. A pro photographer knows exactly how to change this atmosphere into fun and laughter to ensure you and your partner look natural and at your very best. That’s why when you book a pro you know you can trust him. By following his direction you get the perfect photos you always wanted. Creativity – the photographer makes a photograph, he creates it. He doesn’t want to just snap away, he knows how to capture the moment. He has an eye for the details and can see the possible shot before anyone else. Photography is the knowledge of the light, you have to see the light and know how to work with it.

He understands that you are about the share your most important day with him, he appreciates it. For him, that day is as important to him as it is for you. He is very grateful that you have invited him to your wedding and he wants to create beautiful memories for you and your partner.
