One of the most special days in anyone’s life is their wedding day, and that day should be memorialized correctly. This makes the person doing the wedding photography one of the vital choices during the planning. This also means that the planner needs to explore the portfolio of the person doing the ceremony photos and reception photos to ensure that they are of the quality that the couple is looking for, especially if they plan on compiling the images into wedding albums later.
The portfolio can tell a person a lot about the photographer. The pictures should be well-focused, but look mainly at the lighting; a good photographer takes advantage of natural lighting while a great one will have at least a few bright lights in operation to deal with glare, insufficient lighting, and other details that most people ignore but show up in the development of the pictures. Essentially, there is no reason to accept less than studio quality for wedding photos.
The most memorable weddings deserved the most memorable wedding photos. The photographer needs to be able to put together some of the best wedding albums the planner has ever seen, with cost as a secondary concern. Remember that the wedding day is one of those days that need to be memorialized in the best possible fashion, and so wedding photography is one of the areas you should splurge on; the photos will define what others remember about the day and as such the ceremony photos will be worth their weight in gold.
