Questions to ask when meeting with a wedding photographer.

One of the most important steps to take in planning your day is to take the time to meet with your Wedding Photographer candidates. Sit down with them, talk to them. Look at their portfolios and albums. The Internet can be an incredibly helpful tool. It’s just not a great place to judge the quality of photographer’s images. Meeting your prospective Ottawa Wedding Photographer in person gives you an opportunity to evaluate a number of key items. Some of these include:

 

(1) Can they show you samples of their Wedding Photography? How do the images look? How do the albums look and feel? You won’t want to display your wedding pictures in a three ring binder, so make sure you can see the style of album you’ll actually be receiving. Are the samples from more than one wedding?

 

(2) Are they professional? Are they on time for your meeting? Are they dressed appropriately? Do they have an office or studio or are you sitting at their kitchen table? Don’t get me wrong. Lots of people start out working from their home while they get established. The question you need to ask yourself is “Do I want them using MY wedding to build their experience?”

 

(3) Are they actually running a business? Do they have a business license? A business bank account? Do they work with a contract? A contract is an incredibly important part of the process. With a contract, everyone knows what is promised, and what will be delivered. Are they insured? Ask them if they have spare equipment. We have at least two of EVERY piece of equipment we use while photographing a wedding. It can be the difference between a memorable wedding album and disappointment.

 

(4) Exactly what will I receive for my money? How many prints will I receive? If an album is part of the package, what will the album look like? Can I get a DVD of the images? If a DVD of the images is included, are the images full resolution files or reduced size proof images?

 

(5) Do you like them? Are they pleasant? What’s their personality like? It’s a simple fact of human nature that we can’t get along with everyone. The time to find this out is NOT on your Wedding day. Getting married is an intense experience, and it’s one that can generate a great deal of stress. You’ll want Your Wedding Photographer to be someone who can capture the beauty of your wedding day, and make you feel comfortable while doing it.

Choosing your Ottawa wedding photographer.

Choosing your Ottawa wedding photographer.

 

Your wedding day will be one of the most important days of your life, and it’s one that you’ll want to remember forever.

You’ll need to make a lot of decisions, lots of choices about how to make your wedding day uniquely yours. One of the most important decisions a Bride and Groom will face is who you will trust as your Ottawa Wedding Photographer.

 

Who you choose to as your Ottawa Wedding Photographer will depend on a number of things. Some of these will include:

* The style of Photography you like

* The Photographers personality

* Who will your Photographer actually be?

* Does the Wedding Photographer work with a contract?

* The Photographers appearance

* The cost vs. the value provided

 

What to look for in an Ottawa Wedding Photographer.

 

-The style of photography you’re looking for i.e. Traditional or Documentary style Wedding Photography. Do you like the Photographers style? Are they flexible enough to capture your Wedding Day the way you want it remembered?

 

- The personality of your Photographer also needs to be considered. Do you like them? Are they excited at the prospect of Photographing your Wedding?

 

- Who will your Ottawa Wedding Photographer actually be? Larger studios may have a stable of Photographers. Do the sample albums you’re being shown contain the work of the Photographer you’ll be getting on your Wedding Day, or is it a “Greatest Hits” package containing the work of several of the studio’s staff. Do you get a chance to meet the Photographer that will be at your Wedding before you sign a contract?

 

- Speaking of contracts, does the Photographer work with a contract? The contract is an important part of Wedding planning. It gives you the peace of mind of knowing exactly what you can expect to receive from your Photographer, and is your guarantee that the date is booked and the Photographer is reserved for your wedding.

The Photographers appearance should also be taken into account. Are they neatly dressed when you meet them? Do the look professional? Would you want this person meeting your wedding guests?

-Pricing and your Ottawa Wedding Photographer. Obviously, price plays an important part of the decision. Does the Photographer you’re considering fit into your budget? If they don’t, are they worth the price difference? One of the worst mistakes you can make is choosing a Wedding Photographer based on price alone. Wedding Photographers set their prices based on their skill and experience. There’s a simple reason some Photographers cost more. They’re worth it.

The Internet is a wonderful place to do research on Ottawa Wedding Photographers. Unfortunately if you make your decision based exclusively on a Photographers website, or the price they quote, you may be disappointed on with the photos from your wedding day. Getting a “great price” from a Wedding Photographer you booked online won’t look like such a deal if you find them difficult to work with.

The Bachelorette Party

Over the years, I’ve photographed all kinds of clients, but this was a first.

A Bride and eight of her friends stopped by at my at my studio

while they were on their way to Montreal for the Bachelorette Party.

We  had a blast during the portrait session, and I’m sure Montral will never be the same.

Dodge Challenger R/T Classic – Rosie


Dodge Challenger R/T Classic


This is Rosie.

She’s a 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic, and she’s the pride and joy of her owner Mike.

Mike wanted a poster of Rosie, so we took her to a local gravel pit for a photo session.

This is my favorite image from that day.

It made a stunning 20 X 40 inch poster.

Maryse and Andre'


Last summer I had the pleasure of photographing Maryse and Andre’s wedding. The wedding was held on a farm north of Ottawa. It was a beautiful setting, with many stunning locations for the photos. I’m still working on the wedding album, but I couldn’t resist sharing a few of the images from that day.

I’m excited about the album and I can’t wait to share it with you.
