What to look for in a wedding photographer

I've been asked a few times what I tell a potential wedding client when they ask whats the difference between me and another photographer. I always tell them to first look at our work. The difference start there. The style, posing, lighting and image editing should give clients a good idea of what their pictures will look like. But that is just the start of what makes me different from other photographers and them from me.


The next important difference is what the wedding clients will be able to purchase. I break my wedding coverage into 3 different packages (for pricing info please fell free to contact me). The packages differ in coverage time, number of wedding albums and prints. My number 1 product is my wedding albums. I think it's very important to give my clients the best product possible. When I shoot a wedding I always have the wedding album in mind. Most photographers offer wedding albums but our packages differ so it's best to shop around.



There are photographers who only offer your images on CD. You take it from there and get your own pictures made and make your own albums. They usually are cheaper then other photographers (including me) and most people end up with a CD, maybe a few prints and no album.



Also personality is very important. Remember we are going to spend a day together. I thinks it's important that we can get along. When you contact me about shooting your wedding I am also deciding if we will be a good match. In the past I have passed on wedding clients because I didn't think we were a good match or they were wanting things I didn't offer. I do refer them to other photographers that could help them better then I can.


So...that's a few points that make me different from other wedding photographers. If you have any questions or want to learn more on what to look for in a wedding photographer feel free to contact me.
