When the time comes for your special day, you don't want to trust it to just anyone. Your wedding will hopefully be the only one that you ever experience. It is designed to last a lifetime, and that is a big responsibility to assign, especially when you are unsure of the photographers ability. Before you commit to a costly package that will not do your ceremony justice, you need to investigate the following qualities of your wedding hire to the fullest extent possible: State of the art equipment. You might rethink your decision to hire the village standby if he hasn't even kept up with the times. Digital photography has made it easier for photographers to start their own business, but it is a sign of professionalism the quality camera that a photographer uses. Also, the technology has advanced well beyond 6 megapixels, and it's important that you match the quality to the price. There is nothing particularly wrong with 6, but make sure you're not paying for 12. A good business reputation. Any photo guy worth his salt is going to have a string of clients, who will speak on his behalf. If the website-and yes, all professionals should have one-does not have testimonials, that is a bad sign. Furthermore, if you ask around your community, and you can't find a single person, who has heard of him after a reasonable amount of effort, avoid! Years in service. The total amount of years someone is in business does not necessarily a good service make, but when taken in conjunction with these other factors, it will tell you something about the quality of work you are paying for. Likewise, a short amount of time in business doesn't mean that you're getting sub-par quality. It is a factor to keep in mind when negotiating a price, however. Experience specific to weddings. All the years of photography experience in the world will not guarantee good results if the person shooting the photos has no wedding experience. Five years of wedding experience is better than 20 of general practice. Willingness to hear your ideas. Yes, all the experience may be behind the camera, but you have been planning your wedding day since you first fell in love. Sometimes longer. A photographer who is not willing to listen to your ideas is one that you don't want managing the wedding party. Strength of communication. If your wedding hire is unwilling to incorporate all of your ideas, that is fine as long as he can explain in a very sensible manner the reasons for not doing so. Customer service skills are a big part of your satisfaction, and if he doesn't have them, your wedding day could be affected poorly as a result.
