Find a Wedding Photographer
 Part of the
wedding planning process is trying to find a
reputable photographer to capture your special
day on film. As you begin interviewing
prospective professionals, deciding on the right
one is extremely important. Your wedding day
memories are precious and if you’ve chosen to
have a sports themed wedding, you’re gong to
want to be sure that the person charged with
capturing these moments actually knows what
they’re doing.
I’m sure by now there are plenty of amateur
photographers that have crept up out of the
woodwork once they heard you were getting
married … family, friends, that crazy uncle who
decided to start up a his own photography
business. Some of these options might represent
a less expensive route, but do you really want
to leave it to chance that the photos will turn
out right?
In my own experience, I’ve come to understand
that there’s a big difference between a
professional photographer and someone who clicks
the shutter on digital camera. A professional
photographer understands light and shadow.
He/she understands angle, focus, and clarity and
how these elements will affect the finished
work. Through a wealth of experience, built up
over several years, professional wedding
photographers can make shot recommendations and
position your wedding party naturally. They know
what poses work best and how to get the most out
your wedding party in the digital medium.
Finally, a professional wedding photographer
will craft a well rounded account of your
wedding day that tells the full story of your
union. Your lovable Uncle Alfred may be able to
press the button on his fifteen hundred dollar
digital camera, but he falls far short of what
can be achieved by a pro.
Before you meeting with your photographer of
choice, be sure to have
some ideas in mind for wedding photos
that you want them to take. We've included
the photos below as examples of the types of
photos you might want on you wedding day.

Granted, there are
exceptions to every rule and amateur
photographers can get lucky every once in a
while, but in my opinion the quality of your
wedding photos are not worth the risk. In order
to save some money, my wife and I actually hired
the cheapest “professional” wedding photographer
that we could find and it shows. Our
photographer did not understand how to
compensate for light and dark when shooting
indoors. As a result, even though I had pulled
some strings to have our wedding photos taken
inside our local NFL Stadium, they turned out
very poorly. Most of our photos were out of
focus and they were very dark. I regret going
with this particular photographer to this day,
but I
guess you get what you pay for.
