When you look at a photographer s portfolio, what you see is what you are likely to get. That is if the pictures belong to your photographer. Had I looked at a portfolio that looked like half the pictures were taken through a porthole I would have instructed the photographer to leave that filter at home. Instead, we have had to remove the filter s special effect with creative matting in our wedding album. He wasn t happy.
Photographers sell happiness and happy memories.
The best photographers understand that the wedding day is supposed to be the best day of the couple s lives. The photographer at our wedding was bossy, excited, disorganized and, when the camera broke, angry. When you meet photographers, take the time to get to know them. Try to get a feel for the type of person you are meeting. Other things we ve learned.
