5 More Mistakes Made When Choosing A Wedding Photographer

Synka | Oct 16, 2012 | 0 comments

1. You Entertain Too Many Photographers

Though price shopping with a number of different service providers is often a good idea, with photography this is not necessarily so.

There are photographers who will haggle over prices and who will attempt to gain your business simply by being the least expensive, but these will seldom be photographers who make quality and professionalism a priority. These are pictures that you will cherish for the rest of your life, and if the quality is poor, it will show.

2. You Sign the Paperwork Without Looking it Over First

Most professional photographers will not willingly try to misrepresent themselves or get clients to sign paperwork that is incorrect. However, mistakes can always be made and once a person signs a contract, it is legally binding. Be certain to read everything thoroughly before placing your signature on the dotted line. Also make sure to include any verbal agreements in writing on the contract.

3. You Deny Your Intuition

A couple may get the feeling that an offer from a photographer is too good to be true, then will ignore that feeling in order to get a good deal. It is more important to trust those instincts; if something seems fishy, it probably is.

4.You Assume the Photographer Will Dress and Behave Appropriately

When you meet with the photographer for the first time, you can assume that how he or she dresses and behaves will be similar to that at the wedding. Therefore, if the photographer wears jeans and a t-shirt to meet with you, consider how that would look at your wedding. Similarly, watch his or her conduct. If it is unprofessional in a business meeting, it will likely be the same at the ceremony.

5. You Do Not Make Inquiries Into the Sample Album

Amateur photographers may attempt to piece together a sample album from multiple weddings, showing only one or two of the best shots taken at each wedding. A professional photographer will show a sample album with shots obtained at one wedding, showcasing the ability to capture multiple excellent photographs during the event.

Also make sure that the sample album is from the photographer who will be at your wedding. If you have any doubt that the album is a true representation of the photographer who shows it to you, you should look elsewhere.
