Wedding Photographer criterion

[jiwani]

Re: Wedding Photographer criterion

Thankyou so much..the photographer I talked to said once the event is over, he will give me all the photos then I have to select 100 photos (of each event) from them which he will put in the albums after editing. Does that mean that apart from the 100 he edits, the remaining ones will be totally crap? Has anyone ever had an experience like this?

And yeah I have talked to the photographer you have mentioned. They are not available for the dates of my wedding

Important questions to ask:
do you own the rights to your pics after so you can make unlimited copies?
do you get a High res dVD of all your edited photos?
how many prints do you get afterwards?
will they give you a traditional album or will you get a coffee table style book?
is all of this included in their package or do you pay additionally for everything?
what will they wear at your event? This is a huge pet peeve of mine with Pakistani photogs. They’re a huge part of your event and showing up in faded jeans and a t shirt is unacceptable. it’s not a concert, it’s someone’s formal event.
what time will they arrive and how long will they be there for?
how many pictures do they shoot over the course of a wedding and typically how many of these are " good" shots?
ask to see a FULL wedding, not just a few portfolio shots from a wedding. That way you can see how they handle formals and candids throughout the night.

Trend wise, it’s photo journalistic style that’s in.

Not sure where your wedding is, but if it’s in Karachi, have a look at O’Shoot. They’ve improved hugely since they started and are doing some great work these days. They’re on Facebook here
