Choose the right photographer

Are you looking for a wedding photographer?

It can be difficult to find the one that is right for their wedding, their tastes and their desires. But it can help if you have a checklist to relate to you.

- My personal experience is that a good wedding photographer is a photographer who does a good job, acting discretely and professionally, that takes care properly paid, service-minded and positive attitude towards those he / she reviewed, as are the couple to feel at ease , which is nice to be with, who knows what he / she is doing and delivering images of high technical and creative quality that the customer is happy with, said photographer forevigt.dk.

Forevigt.dk says that there are some points you should emphasize when you choose a wedding photographer to one of the most important days in your life.

Here are the photographer's own tips:

The images

Anyone can take 10 good pictures and show on their website. Do not be fooled into thinking that the photographer deliver better pictures than he / she really does. Ask to see a representative selection of images from previous weddings.

The photographer

Wages a photographer to follow you throughout your wedding day should be a person who is nice to be with.

Do you have the opportunity, it is not a bad idea to arrange a meeting with the photographer before you decide. Have a coffee, talk together and get to know the photographer. You can find out quickly if there is one you would like to have as a "guest" at your wedding or not.

"Professional photographer"

Occupation title photograph is not a protected title in Norway. This means that anyone can call themselves professional photographers. There are no bodies or check if it right, and it requires no training or education to put on the role of photographer.

It is up to you to decide if the photographer you choose is suitable for the job.

Routine

Abilities photographer to stay one step ahead of schedule and anticipate the unexpected? You must be sure that the photographer has been on this before and know what is going to happen and yet manages to create unique and creative images.

Back

Does the photographer back immediately after shooting, during and after treatment photos are taken care of after the bride and groom have had their pictures? What defines photographers as a backup? Keep always a copy is geographically separate from the original files in case of fire, theft, water leaks and the like?

Camera equipment

Shooting in the dark church or reception rooms with dim lighting without flash requires a lot of both photographer and camera equipment. You should appreciate photographers who mainly shooting without flash. After taking thousands of pictures during the day and the photographer is using flash at all the pictures it is obvious that the fast can be both disruptive and a nuisance for both bridal couples and guests. The most evocative images you where the photographer does not use flash.

Price

The final price should be agreed in advance. The last thing you want when you come home from the honeymoon is a bill in the mail from the photographer that you had not taken into account. Check what you get and what you have to pay and get it like writing if you think it is safest.

There are roughly two pricing models for wedding photography:

Paper Copy:

Some offer low price of the shooting, but it makes up for the booking of the album, enlarge, thank you cards and so on after shooting. This is the classic pricing model. A little unfortunate, perhaps, for it is difficult to know how the images will be until after the shooting and therefore difficult to know what size you want and how many images.

You are at the mercy of the photographer's choice of album sizes, frames and greeting cards.

Digital:

You pay one price, which includes photography and digital files that you can use freely the fact. You do not have the expensive intermediary where the photographer retains the rights to produce the images. It's easy and free to share photos with family and friends, and you can use images to creative thank you cards, scrapbooking, etc. The images you can freely post on Facebook, send the mail and distribute to all guests who are interested.

It's much cheaper to order the images themselves than to let it go through the photographer and the quality is just as good if you make it through the professional photo labs. The photographer will be able to advise you where you should order your photos.

Dress Code

It goes without saying. A wedding photojournalist, the fly on the wall, should dress neatly in line with the guests at the wedding and in such a way that he is not the party.

Good references

Please ask for references from past weddings and do like a couple of Google searches on the photographer's name and company in search of any negative reputation.

What if 

It is wise to ask the photographer if he has a plan for unforeseen events. Illness can occur, photographic equipment can be damaged or stolen, the weather is nothing our disposal and so on.

No guarantees can be given, but an experienced wedding photographer is better protected against unforeseen things that can occur.
