Your wedding portraits are the most important photographs you will have taken in your life. When choosing your photographer you have to be very careful. Improvements in camera technology has made it virtually impossible to take a bad picture. Many amateurs, equipped with sophisticated equipment, are capable of taking decent photographs. However, there is much more to Wedding Photography than knowing how to operate a camera.
Wedding photography is about seizing moments, capturing emotion and creating memories.
The technical skills required to do this are essential, but it doesn't stop there. Professional wedding photographers do this for a living. They photograph people every day and not only have the necessary photographic skills, but are adept at handling people. First, you must ask if photography is their full time profession. Although you are not required to be a member of a professional organization to become a professional photographer, membership is a good indication that your photographer is very serious about his craft.
