It is always great to have the cash to hire a well-known wedding
photographer to capture the moments that you will want to remember
forever but in this age of austerity, not all of us can afford it.
Weddings these days cost an arm and a leg and a head for all the other
elements that go with the event. You can always take a chance with an
unknown photographer that can't provide proof of their work. Is it worth
the risk? Some of us get friend or family member with a flair for
photography to snap away and hope that they get some good shots. This
means that the person can't really enjoy the event themselves as they
will constantly be preoccupied with the job. Or even worse they may not
be focused on the job at all. I remember one such wedding I attended as a
guest; the photographer was a friend of the groom. He spent most of the
wedding chatting to the other guests and the rest of the wedding at the
bar. The bridal photo album has been a running joke ever since. Most
couples wouldn't be so forgiving. For this very reason I have prepared a
short list of four of my ultimate tips to focus on... whether you are a
fledgling wedding photographer or someone taking some photos for the
couple to save them on expenses.
