Leave it to the Professionals
With phone cameras improving and apps to edit just about any image, it can be tempting to save a pretty penny and leave a photographer off your wedding list. In fact, many couples are now relying on their guests' artistic abilities to document the big day. You may have come across wedding photos with a designated hashtag in the caption, allowing the newlyweds to easily track down snaps from their day. This can, of course, be a lovely way to seek out candid moments and behind-the-scenes style photos, but it has its disadvantages too. In an age where people have become all too familiar with their phone screens, it's a nice change to have everyone present - in mind and body- on the big day. For this, it is becoming increasingly popular to have a no-phone rule at weddings and big events, leaving the photography to the professionals.
Is it Worth the Money?
With the average price of hiring a wedding photographer now sitting at over £1,500 in the UK, it can be difficult for some to justify the cost. This could mean cutting back on costs elsewhere, but all for a good reason. Have your cherished album of stunning images take pride of place on your living room bookshelf, ready to show off when friends come around.
Reminiscing
Photography has come a long way and continues to evolve and improve through new technology and styles. Your wedding album doesn't have to be full of posed family portraits, artificial backdrops, or trends of bygone days. Take your time to find a photographer who sees your vision and can bring it to life, then sit back and flick through photos that reflect the true uniqueness of your day. From elegant ceremony snaps to afterparty images you wouldn't show your granny, the album should be as much fun as the day!
