Why hire a professional wedding photographer vs amateur

“When you start planning your wedding, you enter into a whole new world that can come with a shockingly high price tag.  It’s natural to look for places to cut corners, but here are some facts to consider before hiring an amateur photographer for your wedding day.

1. The number one regret of couples after the wedding is not investing more money in a photographer.

When the wedding is over, all you have left are your photographs.  Unfortunately, it’s not until AFTER the wedding that most couples truly realize this.

“I’m a professional blogger whose wedding pictures were ruined because I hired an amateur. Even though I did all of the right things (showed her photography styles I liked, furnished a shot list, asked if she owned her own equipment–she lied about that one) I still got crappy, blurry, point-and-shoot looking snapshots of my wedding.”

Do you cry at weddings? I do!

I was left floored by this perceptive question

“Do you cry at weddings?” The question floored me. On Thursday while we were shooting sports equipment one of the fitness trainers come models asked me what I normally shoot. When I said  “weddings” she said it must be a lot of fun (and it is!) and immediately asked THE question. I am not often speechless but this really made me stop and think. For me, weddings ARE about the emotion of the day and then it hit me right between the eyes. While I grew up in a country and time where men DON’T show their emotions, I realised that more often then not I really do get that lump in my throat during a moving speech, a secret look between the bride and groom, or perhaps knowing the wedding has been moved to an earlier date because mum or dad are nearing the end of their fight with cancer or some other terminal disease.

So YES, I can answer. I do cry at weddings quite a lot, only in my own private way.
