What is the deciding factor when you engage a wedding photographer?
It is common for people to want to seek the most reputable and experienced wedding photographer around to take pictures of their memories which would last a lifetime.
An experienced photographer would naturally charge more for he is well versed with the eye for details and setting the atmospheric stage for the shoot which would enhance the effects of weddings, however since wedding photos are crystallized memories that are meant to last a lifetime and more, such memories cannot be reiterated or replayed again, so money should not be a question as such perfection in your wedding day might never occur again and some precious moments once lost will never be regained. What should be the deciding factor in the engagement of the wedding photographer should thus be the chemistry between the couple and the photographer that is most pertinent to the eventual wedding photos.
Chemistry is an essential part of the wedding photos. It is only when the wedding photographer knows exactly the style, the essence and the characters of the couple before he is able to portray the most genuine feelings that can shine through the stills of the wedding photo.
It’s only when he feels inspired and passionate about his craft for the couple then can he specifically bring out their swirling emotions of intensity, overwhelming happiness and love. Love itself cannot be measured by words, thoughts and cannot be expressed by the human voice. The only way to convey the idea is through the wedding photos itself. When there is chemistry and a strong element of trust between the wedding photographer and the couple, this vision of love, mutual understanding and hope would be able to reach out through the photos and touch the hearts of the viewers.
There’s a quote that states “what is essential is invisible to the eye”. However as long as there is chemistry between the wedding photographer and the couple, he would be able to bring out what’s most vital about the love between two and such elements captured in the stills of the photograph would then be able to continue moving the hearts of everyone who’ve seen it and serve as witness to the couple’s pledge of love to the other. Thus, chemistry should be the priority and deciding factor in the process of engaging a wedding photographer.
