Wedding Photographers - Know What You Want

I have personally attended 2 x weddings this summer and the thing that stood out for me the most was the difference in the wedding photographers.

The first photographer - you knew he was there - oh boy did you know he was there. He spent hours getting the right shots, commanding who was to stand where and with whom to the point where the more elderley relatives of the bride and groom were getting ready to swing for him with their handbags!

The end result was some lovely - staged - photographs. Which if that is what you want from your photographer is great but what if that isn't what you want or what your personality dictates?

The second wedding we attended, we didn't even know their photographer was there!!! Seriously, he was clicking away but there were no staged shots, no bossing about and no irate elderly relatives!

So the moral of this story is choose your style of photographer wisely. Know exactly what you want from your photographer and then ask around. Be true to you and your husband to be's personality because if you are the sort of person who detest playing up to a camera your shots won't work out anyway. Your photos need to reflect You and Your Husband's personalities not that of your photographer!
