Wedding Photos

You want to remember the moments of your beach wedding for the years to come. You want to share with your relatives and friends on the moments of the gorgeous fun and romantic wedding you have. So what can you show them? Photographs!

So what would be a great way to keep the photos of the memorable event? Digital or film Photos? To keep it online or to keep as hard copies in your wedding albums.

Lighting is another factor to consider. Poor lighting can turn out bad pictures and you certainly do not want that!

How should you choose the photographer for the event?

Here are some tips and ideas to guide you along:

• The photographer portfolio

Look at the photographer's portfolio for an indication of the style and personality. What sort of angles do he look for? Are the pictures pretty? Is he able to capture the sparkle of the event? What is his skill like? These questions can be seen through his portfolio.

• Quality of the photographs

Is the quality good? What I mean is that are the pictures clear or always blur and shaky? You definitely do not want a photographer who takes tons of unclear pictures. You only have one time shot, thus getting a good photographer is important!

• Skill and experience

  Do some informal chit chat with the photographers you have in mind. Chat with them on what experience they have and whether they do have experience in taking wedding photos. Some may have experience in other events but not during weddings. Do take your time to talk to a few candidates before making your final choice.

• Photographer's character

Is he bossy and irritating or friendly and sociable? This is very IMPORTANT!. You certainly do not want to argue with him on the big day! Do check out those who you think you can work with. After all you are the paymaster and it is not worth the frustrations if you find that you cannot stand your wedding photographer.

• Is the photographer taking the photos personally or does he have a stand in?

Do check this very carefully or you might get a shock on the big day. It is fine if he brings a helper along but do make sure that you are hiring the photographer that you want and not his helper on that day.

• Cost

How much does he charge for his services? Can you afford it? This is one serious question which you need to think about. If you do not have much to spare, perhaps you can consider a less experience photographer.

If you really need to take the photographs yourself due to budget contraints, try some tips here on taking wedding photographs.

Sometimes when you come out from a air-conditioned place to the beach (especially from the hotel room to the beach), the change in temperature can cause condensation in the camera lens and cause fogging. Beware of this when you are taking photographs. Off your digital camera for a while before turning on or you would find that your photographs are all blur.
