Shopping for the
RIGHT photographer? - it's like wine. And if you know anything about wine, you
know that prices and quality vary widely. Photographers are the same way, and we can break
them down into three distinct categories:
- the cheap stuff
- the expensive stuff
- the good stuff
the cheap stuff
The Brides who are typically the unhappiest after the wedding are the ones who scrimped on
the photography. When your wedding day has passed, you can never reconstruct it. One
approach is to go cheap and minimize your costs. This is where you ask a friend or family
member, or acquire an entry level "free or low priced" person with a
"new" camera. If you're considering "Uncle Bob" because "he has a
nice camera" just remember that it takes A LOT more than just a nice camera to take
great wedding photos. Your wedding day is not when you want to realize that "Uncle
Bob" doesn't really know what he's doing. Very likely "the cheap stuff"
person has no backup equipment or real experience at this level either. Price seems
to be important. "You get what you pay for" comes to mind.
You'll likely end up with a less than satisfactory result, just like cheap wine, and
probably feel regret every time you look at, or think of showing, your photos.
the expensive stuff
By giving lots of money to the photographer, you hope to get a high quality result. Does
it work out that way? Not necessarily, and maybe not even often. Just like there are
overpriced wines that leave you wondering if they were really worth it, there are lots of
photographers that are just as overpriced. Some are students calling themselves
"professional photographers", recently bought themselves a nice camera, have no
real experience or interest in weddings, but instead price themselves high in the hopes
you will think their higher price equates to better photography.
the good stuff
Every once in a while, you discover a really good wine. A friend tells you about it, or
you notice it one day on your own. Affordably priced photography with attention to detail
by John Brunke is much like a really good wine... easy on the pallet, and easy on your
pocket book. Satisfaction guaranteed in writing.
