Wedding Photography – The Big Budget Issue
There’s no point in beating about the bush – we know from many of our recent enquiries that in the current climate, people are looking for ‘a deal’. And there seem to be a scary number of people looking at finding a wedding photographer based on price alone. Yikes!
When searching for your photographer, try and remain focused on the actual quality of the work you are looking at. Don’t be seduced by the promises of all they can provide for your money. Of course everyone has a budget but it’s important to use that budget wisely. Remember that you can always come back later to buy the album and extra prints you’d like; but you can never go back and change the sheer quality of the photographs taken of your wedding day.
We do advise our clients that if you need to make a package more affordable, then start by dropping some products. Cut the prints, remove the album, but don’t just opt for a cheaper photographer simply because they are willing to give you all the products you could wish for.
Nothing is truly cheap; they are cut-price for a reason, and after the wedding when you see your album will the decision based on price alone still feel so wise?
A really great wedding photographer is so very much more than the person who turns up and takes photographs.
Of all your wedding suppliers, your photographer is the ONLY one who is present throughout the whole day. They not only know about the photography, but an experienced photographer has been present at hundreds of weddings, working with countless other wedding suppliers, and really knows his stuff they’re an amazing resource of information and advice, so be sure to use them.
If you have a question, chances are they will either know the answer, or know the right person who will.
At the end of the day, it comes down to the old cliche (and only so because it is so true) ‘when the flowers have died, the cake is eaten, the dress is boxed, all you have left are the photographs’.
Remember that your budget for photography isn’t a wedding investment it’s a lifetime investment.
