How a Wedding Photographer can make or break your day - Why you should use a professional photographer to capture your wedding day!
Wedding photography can sometimes be last on your list of things to book, understandably brides get all excited about looking for their Wedding Dress, Wedding Venue etc, not only do they want the best but want to look amazing too.
But going through all this time and expense you want these memories to last so that you can show your children or even grand children what an amazing wedding day you had, your photographer is there to keep these memories alive for you. Martin Newton Photography a Merseyside & Lancashire wedding Photographer is here to chat about how a Wedding Photographer can make or break your day and why you should always use a professional photographer to capture your wedding day!
Photographers don’t get booked by everyone that contacts them like everyone else in any business, this may be down to budgets, the work produced or what they include in their packages but, a common one they say is ‘I have now found a friend that will do it’. In my opinion this is the worst thing you can possibly do.
I’ve had brides contact me after their wedding upset that the photographs have not turned as they had hoped and asking if I can help them fix the images. This can be due to being blurred, not exposed correctly, having things in the background spoiling the image which they would like to have removed etc. By law I cannot do anything for them due to copyright. After all your planning and time why would you want this for your wedding?!
So what is the importance of a photographer?
Well as a photographer it’s not just turn up and snap away. It’s how do we get those images, how can we get stunning images, how can we capture every detail, how do we help you and your guests have the best time, the list goes on.
A Wedding Photographer can help with timings of your wedding day and capture the details!
A photographer isn’t just with you for part of your day; they are there for the whole day this means they help with timings, make sure everything runs smoothly, supporting you, capturing all your family together, making you smile and being natural, capturing all those little details, getting stunning images of the bride and groom together and just generally capturing the day, the list is endless.
Not only all of that, we have the good old weather to contend with too, you just never know what it’s going to do, oh, and it going dark early at winter weddings!
2. A Wedding Photographer knows their camera equipment inside and out!
As a photographer it is my job to get the best from the day no matter what the conditions, but to do all this, the photographer needs to know their camera equipment inside out. Let’s face it, what bride and groom wants to be stood waiting while a photographer try’s to figure out how to use his flash in the rain or get the correct exposure in bright sunlight? They will also have many lenses to capture a variety of shots too!
3. A Wedding Photographer can help assist you and your wedding party with the finer details!
On a lot of occasions, I have to put my camera down to help, I’ve had brides and bridesmaids just standing around because nobody knows how to tie the dresses, I’ve helped do that many a time.
There have also been many times that I have fitted the buttonholes for the Groom and Groomsmen. I have transported overnight bags and anything that family members and brides have wanted taking to the venue in my own car to save them having to take them with them in the bridal vehicles. I have also taken family members from church to the venue as they’ve had no transport. Again, the list can go on.
4. Capture your day from two angles with a second assistant!
With all my packages you have a second assistant/shooter who is also a trusted professional. Perfect for capturing your day from two different angles!
5. A Wedding Photographer knows how to edit your images professionally!
Professional Photographers will always have a retouch up and editing programmes too . Shooting a wedding is only the first part of a good photographer. The second isis photo editing including exposure, correcting and adjusting images. Professional Photographers will be highly trained in this area. After all when booking a professional you are paying for experience when it comes to booking your wedding photography. You get all your images on USB along with a luxury wedding album too.
Having read all this, think about how important your day is to you and how having the right photographer to capture all those special memories would mean to you!
