What To Know When Looking At Dallas Wedding Photographers

By Freida Michael


Your wedding is a special day that you'll want to remember forever. Dallas Wedding photographers are key in capturing cherished moments of the occasion. The right photographer will provide you with beautiful pictures that tell the story of the day. You'll love these photos for years to come.

How do you select the perfect person? You need to do a lot of looking and thinking about what you want. Compare efforts and narrow down your choices. You don't want to regret your choice after the fact. There are many styles, all equally valid, that can be used at your discretion. From elegant to edgy, there is no end to the possibilities.

With documentary you will get a series of candid shots, rather than posed photos. Portraiture will give you classic portrait shots, with your wedding guests and the party against various backdrops. Fine art is like documentary, but with a more artsy feel -- for example, the subject of the photo (such as a dancing couple) will be in focus while the background is blurred. Edgy-bold is an offshoot of fine art which uses techniques such as tilted angles and unconventional framing. Many photographers will blend styles depending on what the client wants, but if you're looking for a specific style you'll want to find a photographer who specializes in it.

Once you've settled on a style, you'll want to begin researching photographers. Read reviews from recent weddings, check local listings. Look at photographers' blogs and websites to find postings from weddings they've shot, and to get an idea of their style. Look at their social media as well -- see what people are saying about them on Facebook and Twitter, and look at how they respond.

You can tell a lot about someone in person so make sure you do not limit the interview to the phone or email. Let them talk about their philosophy and approach. Then tell then what you want and get their recommendations. They need to know the time of year and the place to make an accurate assessment. Time of day is also key.

If the photographer has the requisite style, you can now conduct an interview to assess attitudes and values. You can watch reactions and signs of good listening. If you are a match, you can discuss details of the venue such as time of day and a possible lighting plan. A contract can be signed if there is a meeting of minds.

Ask for a general range of the photographer's prices -- you won't be able to nail down a specific price until you know exactly what you want. Most photographers keep the rights to all photos they take, so if you want the rights you'll have to buy them. Always make sure to get post-production details, such as asking how long it will take to get your photos.

Your wedding photos are priceless and it is up to you to find the right person for the job. They will last for many decades, evoking wonderful memories and experiences. It is within your grasp and control to select wisely and well.
