Why choose a professional wedding photographer?
These days so many people have good cameras, but can you really trust your entire wedding photography to a novice? A professional wedding photographer has years of experience an amateur just won’t have.
This post is to explain the benefits of hiring a professional wedding photographer and why it’s worth paying that bit extra for someone who has years of experience.
Professional wedding photographer
Firstly you should bite the bullet and pay for a professional for the simple fact that you need someone with experience to photograph your wedding. A professional will have in his/her head all the photos they need before they’ve taken them. We’ve photographed hundreds of weddings and know exactly what photos are needed. From the dress hanging in the window…
…to being in the right place to catch the first kiss, a professional will meticulously work their way through the day capturing all the moments that someone not so experienced might miss.
Don’t leave it to chance…
Secondly we carry spares of EVERYTHING! From spare cameras, memory cards, batteries to flash guns. Just in case the unthinkable happens and a camera breaks or a battery runs out, then you won’t be left without any photos. It’s unlikely a novice would bring along back-ups of everything, but we know it could be needed!
Thirdly we understand light. We know where to position you to make you look your absolute best. Good soft light is essential for flattering portraits and we know exactly how and where to find the best light.
We can also create incredible pictures by adding extra lights and even using sparklers. For example the shot below was lit from behind the couple and shot on a long exposure to capture the sparkler effects.
So to ensure your wedding goes “without a hitch”, we suggest you book a professional wedding photographer. You won’t regret it!
We get a lot of comments from guests saying they hardly noticed we were there – our unobtrusive, documentary-style photography will mean you can enjoy your wedding without feeling bossed around.
