How do I choose my wedding photographer?Unlike most other types of professional photography, wedding photography is particularly demanding due to the specific nature of the event. After all, if the photographer makes an error or simply takes poor photographs the wedding can’t be held again to enable a re-shoot. The results need to be right first time, and in fact they need to be better than just “right”, as the images will chronicle one of the most important events in a couple’s life. Unfortunately, despite the demands of wedding photography the industry is unregulated, and as a result anyone can build a website or put up a shingle proclaiming themselves to be a professional photographer. The growth in digital photography has contributed to this trend with many people gaining an interest in photography and thinking that they have what it takes to be a professional wedding photographer. This can lead to tragic circumstances where couples who have trusted a photographer are let down by poor technique, bad photography or unprofessional practices. So how do you ensure that they are working with a competent, truly professional photographer and not an enthusiastic amateur? Well this can be done in several ways. Firstly, you should meet with your photographer and review a portfolio of his or her work. Make sure you like the style of the work and are happy with the quality presented. Secondly, you can review the photographer’s credentials or qualifications. Competent professional photographers will often be degree qualified or will be members of the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers (AIPP), the industry’s premier body. In order to become an Accredited Photographer with the AIPP a photographer must ascribe to their Code of Ethics and have had their work subjected to rigorous peer review to ensure they are of a suitably high standard. This means that you know that you are dealing with a true professional that you can trust to take beautiful photographs and deal with you professionally and ethically at all times. Meeting with your photographer will also enable you to get a feel for them, and let him or her get to know you. Having a good rapport with your photographer is extremely important, as you will be spending a large portion of one of the most important days of your life in their company! Once you are satisfied with their competence and quality, your focus should be on their photographic style, and the relationship you develop with them. Naturally price will be an issue in the selection of your wedding photographer, but it should not be the sole factor. What you should be looking for in a professional Coffs Harbour wedding photographer is a mix of a person who you trust to take beautiful photos of your special day, in a style you like, at a price you can afford. This may not be the cheapest option, but you can be certain that you will get the results you expect. |
