Many people balk at the idea of hiring a professional wedding photographer for their big day, preferring to ask a friend or relative to do it instead. But the danger with this is that you may find yourself disappointed with the end result, and after all you will only have one chance to get this right and you want the memories to last a lifetime. There is a lot more skill involved in photography than many people think, so in short we believe it pays off in the long run to bring in a professional to capture your day. Here are just some reasons why:
The Right Equipment: Good photographic gear is very expensive, but without it you just won’t be able to get the best picture quality for your wedding album. If you hire a professional outfit they will already have all the equipment necessary so all you need to do is pay a flat fee and they take care of the rest. Buying cameras, editing software, lenses, lighting etc. can be very expensive, so most amateur photographers don’t have it. Also, many people don’t consider the post-production involved in creating a wedding album. It can be complicated and time-consuming and an amateur just might not be able to get the results you are looking for.
Professional Techniques: When you hire a skilled wedding photographer you can pretty much back and leave the work to them, without having to supervise. You will find, for example, that professionals know the best angles for formal shots, those all-important wedding vows, first dances etc. They will have all the right lenses ready for the right moment and will not be caught unprepared at crucial points throughout the day. A friend who is doing this as an amateur, with the best will in the world, may miss certain key moments or get the wrong shot.
Local Knowledge: Many people can be put off by the price of hiring wedding photographers, but it doesn’t have to be hugely expensive if you choose a local firm who don’t have to factor in travel expenses. In fact, it can be far better to choose a local company who know the area well and aren’t far away if you have any queries. For example, if you live in Cornwall, a highly popular location for weddings, then choosing a firm specialising in wedding photography in Cornwall will ensure you are hiring someone who is not only professional, but is familiar with the natural beauty of the area and can make your wedding look beautiful too.
Important Contacts: By the nature of their work, photographers are constantly being thrown in the way of other professionals such as caterers, florists, venue owners etc. To use the above example again, if you are unsure of which local firms to hire, the firm you have chosen specialising in wedding photography in Cornwall can also be your ‘in’ to other high quality service providers. It is useful, when you are planning something as potentially fraught with complication as a wedding, to have an introduction and references to speed up the process of choosing your other services.
