Hiring a Professional Photographer vs. Uncle Harry
You may think it’s a good idea today to have your uncle who is fairly good with a camera take the photos of the important days of your life. I’m sure uncle Harry is going to do a great job ~ you’ve seen some of the nice pictures Uncle Harry has taken on his trip to the Caribbean - you’ve seen some pictures that he’s taken while visiting friends, or being a guest at a friends Wedding.
You may even be so wrapped up in other events going on in your life that you think by just giving the “treat” of Uncle Harry the responsibility of taking care of This ONE special event for you, Whew.. that’s one thing you don’t have to think about. Uncle Harry is probably thrilled and honored at the idea of being able to give you the Gift of photographing your special events -
There are a couple of things that you may not have thought of ~ Is Uncle Harry going to be on time? Does Uncle Harry know where you’ll be at times of your day ? Does Uncle Harry really know how to use his Camera, especially in different lighting situations? Is Uncle Harry going to be hugging his Aunt Ruthie while he’s missing special moments that can’t be recaptured?
and since uncle Harry is doing this as a Favor, is he going to determine when he’s taken enough pictures? or who they are of?
When you choose your wedding Photographer you are picking the person that will be in charge of preserving the memories of your special day. This is a day that will happen once for you, it’s a day full of amazing memories that can only be captured at the precise moment. Make sure you really think about this part of your wedding planning. Photographers come in many styles, personalities and price ranges. Don’t let not being able to afford a photographer keep you from getting some great shots. Talk to your photographer and let them know if you can’t afford much ~ if it’s a photographer that takes pictures for the sheer joy of Photography, then I’m sure they’ll come up with a budget that will work perfectly for you.
