- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
1) Find the images that make your heart beat a little faster and cause a reaction deep down inside. If you are not well versed in photography style terminology (photojournalism, fine art, editorial, artistic, etc), search for the images that move you and tell a story. Request real wedding samples so you can see a variety. Make sure the photographer is able to cover all aspects of a wedding such as getting ready, details, ceremony, posed group shots, reception and party time. Look at the different lighting as the day progresses. Look at color and composition. Are the images focused? Are they clear and crisp regardless of the style? 2) Meet with the photographer and see what his personality is like. Do you feel a connection or does it feel awkward? Does he inspire confidence in his abilities? Does he show the personality traits that you are looking for? Does he listen? Ask lots of questions. 3) Check online reviews. If there are negative reviews, take the time to see if the photographer has answered and if so, if they give their side of the story in a calm and professional manner while stating the facts. Weddings are fast paced events and complications can arise. 4) Trust your wedding planner's suggestions. They have worked with the individual before and are familiar with the photographer's professionalism, technical expertise, personality and trustworthiness. 5) If you still cannot decide, perhaps check if the photographer has reputable photography awards. This is usually an indication that he/she is technically good.
