YOU MUST READ THIS – Over the next few weeks, we are going to discuss in depth the mistakes many couples make when hiring a Melbourne wedding photographer. As a newly engaged couple, you will no doubt be bombarded with advertising from wedding photographers in Melbourne – It’s our job now to inform you on what to be mindful of when shopping around for your wedding photographer.
You won’t realise it yet but your Melbourne wedding photographer has a huge role to play on your wedding day, so it is extremely important you select the right person. Read our tips over the next few weeks to educate yourself, so you make the right decision when selecting your Melbourne wedding photographer:
“Meet Your Wedding Photographer”
When you meet with a Melbourne wedding photographer, make sure you’re meeting with the actual person who will be photographing your wedding. It is common for the large wedding photography studios in Melbourne to have multiple wedding photographers on their team, so it’s crucial the person you are meeting is the same person who will be photographing your wedding. Be very cautious if a wedding photography studio is not transparent or try to hide the fact that the person you are meeting is not your wedding photographer, as it is a clear indication that they are trying to mislead you and it should never be tolerated. At ATEIA Photography & Video, we have a team of five professional Melbourne wedding photographers, and from the very first meeting with us you will know exactly who is going to be your wedding photographer on the day.
Once you have determined that the person you are meeting is in fact your wedding photographer, it is important that you feel comfortable with them as you will be spending more time with your Melbourne wedding photographer than anyone else on the wedding day. Some questions to ask yourself: Do you feel comfortable with the wedding photographer? Does the wedding photographer communicate well? Do you feel that your personality matches that of the wedding photographer? Will the wedding photographer make you laugh naturally? The chemistry between you and your wedding photographer is crucial.
When shopping around for a Melbourne wedding photographer, you should always consider the three P’s – Personality, Portfolio and Price. It’s important you prioritise these variables in the same order when searching for your Melbourne wedding photographer.
We hope this post has been insightful and has helped you on your quest in finding the right wedding photographer for your wedding.
