It is supposed to be the pinnacle of a great and meaningful relationship. You have explored, befriended, wooed and even flirted, until you finally had the nerve to ask for her hand in marriage in a very romantic way. Now all that remains to be done are minor tasks that would hopefully end a fittingly memorable and touching wedding day. Finally, you are at the threshold of starting a new chapter in your life. The transition is hopefully smooth and fuss free, right?
Don't get too caught up with the excitement while you are anticipating your date at the altar. You still have to do some reality checks as there are essential things that need your serious attention. One of those in your must do list is the selection of your Richmond wedding photographer.
You don't dream for a perfect wedding, you make them. Getting the services of competent Richmond wedding photographers is one of the requisites of a perfect wedding. Looking for one should not be a chore if you know where to look for them. However, getting the perfect event professional doesn't have to mean hiring the services of the most experienced or the most popular one. Before you embark on your final selection, you have to decide the things you are looking for when it comes to your photographer.
Going online is the most logical starting point. The Internet is a teeming source of wedding photographers and these sites can easily give you an idea on the capabilities of each of these professionals, at least on "paper". You may be able to narrow your list by taking in the lead wedding photographers based on certain parameters like experience, capabilities, price, special offers, etc. So with all these possible choices, how do you go about selecting your perfect one?
Rule #1 - Survey the Field
Check out the list of available professional wedding photographers. You can look them up from the telephone directory or you can log on to sites of various wedding photography outfits based in your area. Pay particular attention on the services that they offer.
Rule #2 - Make a Short List
Selection doesn't have to mean that you have to check the detailed information of all the wedding photographers in your area. That is simply physically impossible. The secret to a more efficient and accurate selection is to come up with a short list using primary criteria. Among all the considerations that you think a wedding photographer, select at least 3 that are most important for you. For instance, if price, experience and equipment are the three most important, then use these criteria to come up with your short list.
Rule #3 - Meet them All
Once you are able to slim down your long list to about 5 to 10 competent ones, the next thing to do is to visit and meet with them. Hear out the offers and proposal of each. Be sure that you are able to inform them of your expectations. Try to ask as many questions as possible to clarify all essential aspects of their service. Make sure that you see some samples of their previous work. Repeat the procedure for all the vendors on your short list.
Planning a wedding should not be a chore. If you follow these very simple steps you should be back to canoodling in no time.
