Assalamualaikum and Hi.
Just so you know photography is an art without boundaries yet every photographer has their own skills and trademarks. Therefore, to choose a photographer that suits you and your wedding is not as easy as you choose and buy clothes or handbags. Choosing the right photographer should be focussed on too for you know someday, your greatchildrens will ask "May I see your wedding pictures, granny?" Oh okay, don't get goosebumps.
1. You can search online and surf over the photographer’s website /
blog / facebook page that are available around/near your place. Today,
most photographers will put their best pictures online. You can make some
choices for comparison.
2. Identify the style of photos that interests you. Each
photographer usually has their own way in shooting and editing pictures.
3. Contact the photographer and ask for the price. It is better if
you arrange an appointment and meet the photographer. Why? Because:
- You should see the end-products (the album) that they offer with the package that you want to choose. Please look at the quality of photo editing, printing and the material of the album is good and worth the amount you are going to pay.
- To know your photographer. Please stress on
meeting the photographer which will cover your event (in case you had
made the bookings). This is to ensure that you will be comfortable with
the photographer during your wedding day, and that he/she can interact
with you, your partner, and your family as a friend rather than a
stranger. This is because during your precious events, photographer/s
will always be near you to treasure the best day in your life.
- You can directly negotiate the best price. During your meetings, you can mutually
agree on the price and the items included within the package. It is a
good practice to have a written agreement once everything has been
agreed by both parties.
- To prevent fraud. Today, many people took advantage on other peoples trust. By dealing over the phone, or online, you might end up being cheat by conman. So, always be careful and play safe!
4. Make sure the payment term is safe and fair for you. Avoid paying the entire price of the package before the event.
5. Keep all receipts of payment or bank slip for future reference.
Hopefully this help you bridzellas out there! Happy counting days. Regards :)
