A Bride's Guide To Booking Creative Wedding Photography

By Elaine Guthrie


If you are like many other brides, you will want a photographic record of your wedding and the events that take place on your big day. You may wonder how to make sure that the person taking the photographs can capture the moments in a way that you want. Here are some tips that you can use to make sure that you get the creative wedding photography you want so that you remember all your special moments when you look back over the years.

In the past, many wedding albums contained the same images. Many of these were posed. There is nothing wrong with posed photographs but not every couple wants an album full of them. In many cases, more candid images have taken their place. The key to getting the album you want is to know what combination of posed and candid pictures interests you most.

In Derby, UK, there are many different photographers who capture weddings. They all may capture a given moment in a different way. In order to get a feel for what a particular individual will produce, you should look through a portfolio. Some service providers will have physical books for you to look through. Others will have their images on a website that you can look through. This can be a great first step as it does not require speaking directly to an individual service provider.

When looking at a specific artist's work, you may want to pay attention to their general style. Are they mostly posed pictures? Are some more candid and natural feeling? Some service providers will have a photo journalistic style that can make you feel like are once again back in the moment. This is something that some couples will appreciate. Knowing what the different styles are can help you when it is time to choose a specific individual or company to work with.

Keep in mind that prices for booking a photographer can vary based on a number of factors. The first is how many individuals will be taking pictures during the time that you have hired them. Some companies will send a single individual while others may have more than one person taking pictures of your big day. This is more expensive but it can allow you to get a better representation of your wedding day.

You may notice that many service providers quote not only in terms of number of images provided but also in the length of time that they shoot for. This is where having a general feel for how your day will progress. You may also want to limit the photographer to the ceremony and reception only and get photographs of you getting ready from another source.

If you want to keep costs affordable, you may want to reduce the hours that the service provider will be working and use candid photographs from your family and friends. These can be great for capturing some images. Many brides are beginning to use photo sharing apps that let them gather all of the candid photos from their guests and turn it into a record of their special day.

Once you know what you are looking for and what your budget is, you can start looking for service providers. You may want to start by doing an internet search of photographers in your area. You can also speak to friends who have wed recently. The advantage of doing this is that you may be able to get the names not only of people who provide good service, you can also find out who you may want to avoid calling.
