Italian Wedding Photographer how to choose the right one?
Italian Wedding Photographer
Your wedding day, will without a doubt,be one of the happiest days of your life.
Choosing the right italian wedding photographer for your wedding becomes a very important decision to make.Declaring your commitment to the one that you love, whether alone
or surrounded by family and friends, they are moments that you will want
immortalised forever. You will look back on those images for years to
come as they remind you of the blissful elation, deep love and absolute
joy that you felt on that day, even after your memories fade.
When it comes to choosing the right wedding photographer it is absolutely crucial
to select someone who you feel can capture those magical moments from
your special day. With the latest technology almost anyone can take a
decent picture, but this is your wedding day and you deserve to have
stunning images that take your breath away.
Far too many people look back on their wedding photographs with regret.
Perhaps in an effort to save money they have opted for a low budget
photographer, who has produced devastatingly low quality images. Poor
lighting, unflattering angles, missed crucial moments. Any of these can
contribute towards a post-wedding heartbreak. You need to be sure that
you select a photographer that treats your special day as if it were their
very own.
Choosing an Italian wedding photographer or a photographer for any
destination wedding can be especially tricky if you factor in that there
may be a language barrier. Many photographers in Italy are unable to
speak fluent English, and with compromised communication how can you
be certain that your requirements are understood and interpreted
correctly? I highly advocate selecting one of the few photographers who
can communicate in fluent English and as such can be trusted to capture
some of the most important images of your life.
Here are some of my other top tips for selecting the right Italian wedding
photographer.
- Start looking in plenty of time. You don’t want to feel rushed into
making an impulsive decision, not do you want to miss out on your
first choice of photographer because he is already booked. - Do your research. Any good photographer will have an extensive
portfolio that demonstrates the quality and style of their work.
Shortlist those which have portfolios that contain photographs that
fit with the style and approach that appeals to you. - Don’t be afraid to ask questions – as many as you like! Getting to
know your photographer is essential and a great photographer will
happily answer any questions that you may have. Any quality
wedding photographer will also ask you questions about you and
your vision for the day in order to provide exquisite images that
reflect your essence and personalities both as individuals and as a
couple. - Discuss your specific requirements. Every wedding is unique and
your photographer will need to know every single element of your
day that you would like captured in order to ensure that your
expectations are not only met, but exceeded. Many photographers
offer timed packages – 4 hours/6 hours/8 hours, but these may not
fit in with your requirements. If they don’t, ask for a bespoke
package to be created that is tailored for your specific requirements
and ensures that you have the coverage that you need, whether
that is for one hour or twelve. - If you plan on displaying your photographs in an wedding album, on canvas
or presented in any other way, arrange a time where you can see
samples in person to inspect their quality. This way you can rest
assured that however you choose to present your images they will
be breathtaking. - Pay attention to how a photographer behaves. You can gauge how
professional a photographer is by how they respond. A great
photographer should reply promptly, courteously and make you feel
valued and important. As photographers, it is a real privilege to be
able to capture some of the happiest moments in peoples’ lives. If
your photographer doesn’t make you feel like that, then they may
not be the right choice for you.
