Hire a professional photographer

It is often said that Vendors are important to a wedding as the couple themselves. The wedding photographer is as important as any vendor the couple can hire, so why not hire a professional? Hiring a professional wedding photographer is the solution to half of the problems that might arise in Cheshire Wedding Photography.

An experienced photographer is aware of possible problems that may arise and how best to prevent them. They can help the couple to implement their ideas very well and offer professional ideas on the styles the couple might want to implement on the wedding day. They can even help in choosing a wedding location and assist the wedding planner in organizing the event.

Professional wedding photographers are usually more expensive than the amateurs and while the couple might want to cut cost, they should not! A true professional will make your wedding worthwhile. How? Well it is advised that the couple check out things to consider when hiring a wedding photographer. Your friends might be great with the new camera they just bought but it is always advisable to hire a professional.

Scouting the location

Lighting is a key aspect in every form of photography and Cheshire wedding photography is no different. The couple, wedding planner and professional wedding photographer are to meet to deliberate on the wedding venue. Lighting should be one of the factors that affect the choice.

The wedding photographer needs to go to the venue before the wedding and assess the location options. Does the couple want a warm and natural ambience style of wedding and are choosing an underground ballroom venue over a chapel with large windows that highlight detail? The wedding photographer needs to know. This helps so he or she can know how to work around options the venue might proffer.

Back up Equipment/ Strategy

Wedding poses a lot of unforeseen circumstances, one of which could be sudden failure of   photography equipment. The wedding photographer should have a backup in case a camera, lens or battery fails. This is necessary so the quality of the photos can be ensured. There should also be a backup strategy if the wedding photographer is incapacitated and cannot make it to the event. A team of assistants should be on standby.

Guest / Officiator Coordination

There is a common mistake in wedding ceremonies, and that is the officiator photo bombing the kiss of the couple, the couple’s kiss is the most precious 5 seconds of the wedding, seeing the officiator in such a priceless photo only takes away from the moment. Hence it is advisable for the officiator to stand by when the couple are taking their photograph.

Guest coordination is very important in a wedding to prevent the pictures looking rowdy, the wedding planner should work tirelessly with the ushers to ensure that the guests are very well coordinated during the wedding. This is very essential for when group pictures are to be taken and to avoid unnecessary photo bomb of other pictures.
