Choosing a Photographer
By Nathan Shafer

The first words out of a bride's mouth when she calls our studio are usually, "Hi, what are your packages?" or "Hi, how much do you charge for wedding photography?" While this is understandable (what else is she going to ask, "Are you any good?"), you should realize that price comparisons only go so far, especially when there is such a variety of styles and ability levels on the market.

You need to educate yourself as to what's out there, by meeting with a lot of photographers and looking at their work. Don't just meet with the ones who seem affordable; meet with photographers in all price ranges, from the very cheap to very expensive. As you meet with them, consider two factors: the photographs, and the personality of the person who took the photographs.

Where many brides experience problems evaluating a photographer's samples is in trusting their own instincts. Photography often seems like such a new world, you may feel the need for guidance on what you should like. My advice is to trust yourself. You will know what pictures move you, which ones make you feel like saying, "Yes! This is what I want my wedding pictures to be like!" That's all you need.

The other major factor, the photographer's personality, is often overlooked. Simply put, the photographer will be with you all day, and so you need to be careful to hire someone you like, or who at least doesn't drive you up a wall. A photographer with a bad personality can ruin a wedding day, no matter how good his photographs are.

Once you've found a photographer who satisfies these criteria, then start working the budget back into the equation. Be open to the whole range of possibilities, you may surprise yourself and find the photographer of your dreams.
