I was thinking about this the other day. There are so many people out there now in Florida that advertise photography services for $500 or less that it's becoming a problem. What might look like a good deal to a prospective bride and groom, ends up being a nightmare because of lack of experience. Just because you own a digital camera doesn't mean you can shoot a wedding. There's a lot of things to ask a photographer when looking for one, but simply ask two questions:
#1 How many years have you been doing this (and it better be more then 3)
#2 Ask if they have ever shot a wedding on FILM (if they have you can damn well bet they know what they are doing!)
Do it for sure!
ReplyDeleteRight?! Always a good idea
ReplyDeleteIf you're going all out on a wedding anyway, I'd figure a photographer is a must.
ReplyDeletewedding photography is probably one of the hardest specializations in photography.
ReplyDeleteyou might also want to ask whether or not he has an assistant; that can give you 20-30% of the best shots during the day. :)
