The Importance Of Saying Thank You To Others (2)

If you have a friend who is a GREAT photographer or a professional photographer, you might be tempted to ask your friend to take your pictures, thinking you will save some money. This CAN be a success if you and your friend plan all the details and if you let your friend know exactly what you want and do not want and when you want her/him to be involved and when you want him to stay out of the way.

Everyone has a different preference for what wedding venues Sydney photographs they want and how inconspicuous they want the wedding photographer to be, so be sure you talk in detail about what you want. If your friend has NEVER done wedding photos before, you should consider a professional wedding photographer.

You only have one shot at this and you don’t want to be a guinea pig! If your friend HAS taken wedding venues Sydney photographs before, ask to see them so you know what you will be getting in the bargain. You don’t need to finish a nice friendship over poor or missing images.

Assume that you are employing an expert photographer ,make sure that you get to see his portfolio and go over the deeper information about what you wish to own. Tell him where and when the wedding is and be sure he has directions to the service and reception so that you aren’t waiting for him to arrive! Ask about the equipment he has. What if it rains the day of the wedding? Can he accommodate that? Does he also take video or just 35 mm pictures?

Get some references and call to ask about the experience these other couples had. Was the Wedding venues photographer professional and polite with guests and the bridal party? Was she too pushy or obvious in taking her pictures? Did she get all the special shots she promised?
