I came across this picture when I was browsing their Pinterest.
And this interesting fact caught my eye!
Thought it's quite informative though some of the information might not be relevant to Singapore's BTB!
Some tips on choose wedding photographer..
- What do you consider your photography style to be?
Photo journalistic pictures have been very popular. The photographer captures events as it happens without alot of posing. Some people prefer more traditional photographs where most of the photos are taken posed. Many photographers combine both styles very well. Familiarize yourself with the different types of photography before you go shopping so you know what style you like.
2. Do you shoot colour, black and white or both?
When photography are exclusively shot on film, photographers had to carry multiple camera to capture the event with both colour and black and white. Now with digital photography, everything can be shot in colour and then convert to black and white. Some people say that the artistry of the black and white photos are lost in the conversion. If black and white photography is important to you, you should make sure you love the finished product whether it's shot with film or digitally.
3. Do you bring a second photographer or an assistant?
Some wedding photographers will bring a second shooter with them while others might only bring someone to carry gears. Make sure you know which you're getting.
4. Do you work well with videographers?
Videography is an important part of preserving memories. Some photographers work well with them, other find them intrusive. If you want both a photographer and videographer (which I highly recommend) make sure your photographer is aware and happy.
5. Do you correct your photos?
With digital photography most wedding photographers can fix their photographs. They will take out imperfection, hide some wrinkles and blemish and maybe get rid of that double chin. Find out that your photographer has that capability and if they charge extra for the service.
6. Will the photographer gives you a high resolution cd of your images?
Some photographers are willing to hand over the rights of your photos so you can have copies printed at will. while others prefer you to purchase reprint directly from them. Find out your potential photographer's policy prior signing the contract.
7. What comes in my photography package?
Photographer charge many different ways. Some charge a shooting fee and then give a credit towards an album other have a complete package that includes shooting time, photos and an album. When making comparison, make sure you know what you are getting.
========================================================================
Seriously, I didn't know that there's so much knowledge in choosing a wedding photographer. But ultimately, I still think that BTB must like your potiental photographers work. And for me, not only I that I like their photography style.. their package $$ must also suits my budget!!
Food for thought!!
