How Much Are Your Wedding Pictures Worth?

Although there are many aspects that make up your perfect wedding, your wedding photography is the one that lasts the longest, providing you with a treasured collection of images that you can look fondly back on in years to come. Wedding photography often makes up a large part of your wedding budget, however, and it can be difficult to know whether it’s worth the expense when money is tight.

The Pros and Cons of Professional Wedding Photography

Hiring a professional wedding photographer may seem like a big investment, especially when you have so many other things to pay for as you plan your wedding. But if you think about it, your wedding pictures are the one thing you will take from your wedding and keep for years to come. There are many benefits to professional wedding photography, not least because knowing that you’ve hired a professional means there is one less thing to worry about. A professional wedding photographer will be able to provide you with examples of their previous work and give you a real idea of their style and the quality of their photographs.

A professional photographer knows how to organize their approach so that they capture all the essential, classic shots you need from your wedding pictures as well as the details and candid moments throughout your wedding – sometimes appearing to be everywhere at once as they unobtrusively but skillfully capture memorable shots of the couple and their guests.

You hire a professional for their time and expertise, from the wedding preparations to the very end, and you will benefit from their commitment all the way through your special day. An amateur photographer may also be a guest, and will want to join in the celebrations now and then, potentially missing crucial pictures that a professional would have caught. A professional also knows just how to arrange and position guests for group pictures and how to encourage you to pose naturally in order to show off your outfits and make the best of your venue and location. They will not only have technical ability with a camera, but also with lighting – an essential skill when it comes to indoor photography, and one an amateur may be lacking.

Weighing both sides of the coin, a professional photographer seems to always be worth the extra expense when it comes to capturing one of the most important days of your life. For more information on Miami Photography, contact Jonathan Dann Photography by calling 305-791-5795.
