How to Choose a Wedding Photographer – The Tips and Tricks

Many brides begin to stress over their wedding day almost as soon as they become engaged. Unfortunately, there is not much you can do to get rid of the stress. Thankfully, there are some great tips to help you reduce your stress levels. For example, knowing how to choose a wedding photographer is one way you can cut down on your stress levels.


Here are some of the best tips you will find to help you in making the right decision:

  • Interview multiple photographers.
  • Compare rates, availability and your comfort level.
  • What are your instincts telling you? Listen to them.
  • Research your final few photography companies to ensure they are indeed reputable and reliable.
  • Look at portfolios and take notes of the uniqueness of the photographs.
  • Look closely at the poses, do they look natural or posed? Is the style of photography you are viewing match your expectations for your wedding?
  • Has the photographer ever done the style of photography you want for your wedding?
  • How long has the company/photographer been taking profession grade photographs.
  • Can they give you references?
  • Are they able to do a package that is exactly what you want?
  • Price should play an important part in your final decision. However it should not be your only weighing factor in how you choose your wedding photographer. You need to really weigh all of the pros with the cons before you choose your photographer. If you have a budget already set for your wedding it is important that you stay within your allowed amount.

Be reasonable with your expectations and budget. Don’t think you are going to get a high quality well established photographer for pennies. It will cost you, but a great photographer will not make you go broke. On average, you can expect to spend between $500-800 for a good photographer. This should include your digital photos online, as well as your print photographs.

Now that you know the best tips and tricks to help you figure out how to choose a wedding photographer you are ready to reduce some of your stress. This will be one less thing you and your future spouse have to worry about. Keep your head up, when all is said and done, you will look back and laugh at the stress you were initially under.

Camera Lens F-Stop Values Explained

Lens aperture settings are commonly knows as f-stops. The letter "f" is an abbreviation of the term "focal-ratio", which describes the ratio of the lens's focal length to the diameter of the light entrance pupil (more commonly called the aperture). The standard sequence of f-stops is: f/1.4 f/2 f/2.8 f/4 f/5.6 f/8 f/11 f/16 f/22 On this scale, an f/1.4 setting is the largest aperture, while f/22 is the smallest, and each f-stop in the sequence is half the size of its neighbour to the left, and twice the size of its neighbour to the right. In other words, f/5.6 permits the passage of twice as much light as f/8, but only half the light of f/4. Low f-stop numbers represent larger apertures, and higher f-stop numbers indicate smaller apertures because the f-stop is a ratio is between the size of the aperture and the focal length of the lens; i.e. a bigger number represents a larger difference. Here's the maths for a 50mm lens. f-stop / Diameter (...

And the best way to do this is to create a direct link between your blog and your Facebook wall using the method showed in this video, rather than using one of the Facebook app’s that simply creates a tab called ‘Blog’.
