Events like weddings happen once and what makes the day memorable, “the Photos, the Video and the rings”. Most of the couples and wedding committees have not overlooked photography as a priority in the suppliers list. It’s always important to give value to professional photography especially in your wedding. Most of the committees that organize weddings come up with the budget for you and its good to appreciate their input but the couple should go an extra mile to decide what they want by the end of the wedding. It’s sad some couples meet the photographer the morning of the Wedding day. At Versatile Photographers we always get to know the couple before the wedding day and if there is no time to meet we always start our photography during the church rehearsal, which is usually a day or two before the wedding day. If you are planning a wedding take time and meet your photographers, interact with them, laugh with them, come up with ideas may be how the bride should pose for a photo during the photo session and the most important
become friends. Considering the fact that there are brokers in the photography industry it’s always good to see the photographers work and the different products they offer and a fully covered wedding in an album where they have taken the photos themselves. That will help you choose the photographer you want and the end product you will get. Once you agree it’s always good to have a written document i.e. contract form indicating all the products in the package you will be expecting after your wedding.

Photography is all about lighting and space, we always advice our brides to have enough space during preparations in the morning for the hair stylist, make up artist and the photographers. It disappoints the photographer when he finds out there is no enough space to capture a good photo. Natural lighting its always the best but like indoor back up lighting is required. During the photo session if the weather conducive, outdoor is the best where we have natural environment like a garden, trees, a park etc.

After the wedding the best thing to do with captured material i.e. the photos and the video, always have them printed out. IT technology today has really changed many things. A good professional wedding photographer must be using a digital camera with over 10 megapixel. With this you are able to use data discs, external hard drives and memories for storage. At Versatile Photographers we have different types albums, pocket album, stick on and Photo books (Coffee table albums). We always advice our clients to invest in a photo book which are unique and last long. It’s always good to get to know what kind of equipments your photographer is using, where their offices are and with the new technology we advice all the couples planning to get married to be aware of photographers who use internet images to attract them.
