Benefits of hiring a professional wedding photographer...

So the question has been asked, you have announced your engagement and picked a date and the planning begins.... {follow the link for wedding planning tips}

There are a million things to organise and one of the most important of those is...
your photographer of course :)

We do love shooting weddings and doing a great job for you is first and foremost in our mind. It's our name, our skills and our reputation on the line. {follow the link to our reviews}

Experience is essential...being able to help you and your guests to feel comfortable in front of the camera is so important...I have said it many times before - the more comfortable you are with your photographer the better the photos will be...no doubt about it.
Experience means being in the right place at the right time...capturing that particular look, that knowing smile or that intimate moment between you both.
Experience means being able to handle any challenges that may pop up...be it poor weather or poor lighting conditions.

I personally take the time to go to your venue beforehand to look for the best photo opportunities so that the whole process runs smoothly and is as stress free as possible for you and your Bridal party (and for me as well)

Yes you could ask your Uncle Dave who has a good camera but I can tell you from experience that a good camera does not always make a good photographer...
​
And sure...Uncle Dave will do it for free or you could find a beginner or someone who shoots Weddings for fun to do it on the cheap for you, it is tempting to save yourself some money and go the cheap option but, I generally find that you get what you pay for.... I encourage you to consider a professional photographer who has a reputation for capturing all those special memories on your Wedding day.

Because when your Wedding day is over, all the food has been eaten, all the drinks have been drunk and your dress has been put away what have you got left.... your photos :)
​
Great photos of your day are going to be the lasting memories for you and your family to enjoy for years to come and you really do want a professional to get the job done properly.
