A wedding is a time for friends and family–that should not mean your friends and family WORK during the wedding. Above being hurtful and unseemly, it can cause a number of problems. You should not have to be thinking about all these extra hindrances and emotions when the day will be packed with enough of these already. This is specific to the topic of your photographs. Make sure you have professional wedding photography.
The quality of the photos is one of the things at stake. Professionals have professional equipment and training. A friend will never be as solid an option. And don’t you want the best possible photos you can afford?
Chances are, a photographer’s work has been his or her passionate life’s calling for many years. This means they have been trained, have studied the tricks and poses best for you, and understand lighting and movement the best. You friend cannot compete with that kind of training. The photographer will position you in ways and areas that can make you unique as a couple.
You can also use the same photographer months in advance to shoot your engagement photos. In this way, you can make sure you like his or her work before they shoot your wedding–a time when no re-shoots will ever be possible. This will give you a better perspective of their work than just by looking at their books and collections. And since they’ve seen so many weddings, they can give you tips on many other areas of your day.
You must factor in distance, too. Do you want to work with a friend who has a long history with you and who is very invested in your actions and personality? Even if you have the best friendship in the world, a friend will never take criticism like a professional. Professionals care only about the quality of their work and their feelings will not be hurt as a friend’s would. They can also cope much better if you decide not to use their services. Imagine rejecting a friend and then having them attend the wedding where someone else is working.
Professional photographers have friends, however. What do you do if you are a friend of a professional? They might offer their services in lieu of a gift. It is a tempting offer. But do you want them to be at your wedding to work or do you want them there to join in the celebration? Will it hurt their feelings to see all the other friends having a good time? And what package should you choose? The most expensive or least expensive? It is their labor, time, and supplies, but it’s your big day. This is why getting a professional is best: you can get what you can afford and it’s perfectly acceptable on both sides for you to do so.
And do you know that when you’re under pressure you can be difficult to work with? A professional who is not your friend has seen it all and can let it all go at the end of the day. But if you can be infuriating when under duress, your friend may go to bed angry. Do you want to ruin your reputation as well as a friendship?
Professionals can also be a great deal of help post-wedding when they can photoshop your photos or arrange them in special frames or albums. They have a creative capacity to make wedding albums a delight to look at again and again.
