Welcome to our Wedding Web Site!
Call the Shots Ask recently married friends how many
pictures their photographer took (i.e., how many proofs they got) and
whether that number was sufficient, so you'll have a frame of
reference when you talk to your photographer. A photographer shoots
about 500 exposures at an average wedding (ceremony and four-hour
reception). Beware the Bait and Switch Some contracts spell out the studio's
right to send any staff photographers to your wedding -- don't sign if
that's not okay with you. Some also reserve the exclusive right to
photograph your wedding, leaving Uncle John out in the cold. Read your
contract carefully. You may think you don't need many
pictures for your album, but chances are that once you see the proofs,
you'll want more than you thought you did (especially if you've hired
a spectacular shutterbug). Err on the side of too many proofs. Allow friends and family to order prints
directly from your photographer: This is easy if your photographer
uses a service to post your wedding photos. You can email guests a
link to your online album, and they can order prints directly, without
having to go through you. Don't let the weather ruin your wedding
day -- use it to your advantage! If it rains, grab two big umbrellas,
go outside, and shoot pictures in the rain. Black-and-white shots of a
couple kissing under one umbrella with delicate raindrops creating
puddles at their feet are very romantic. Plan ahead and have classic
black oversized umbrellas on hand. Choose a photo pro whom you feel
extremely comfortable with and don't mind inviting backstage. Some of
the most beautiful wedding moments happen while the bride is dressing,
while the family is waiting, or during the reception when the couple
steals away for a kiss. Keep your photographer aware of your
whereabouts at (almost) all times. Don't overwhelm your photographer with must-take shots. Instead create a wish list of your top 10. Find a Wedding Photographer in your area today...
