THE CREDIT CRUNCH AND UNCLE BOB – DON’T LET THEM RUIN YOUR WEDDING DAY !

Yes my web site is here to sell me as a photographer BUT its also here to help you make sure you get the very best photos of your wedding day possible. I only accept 30 wedding commissions a year. I limit myself to this number because it typically takes me around 10 full days to process a wedding. This includes the photography itself, the initial edit of the photos for the web gallery, the edit for the wedding album, the actual album design and layout. Following acceptance of the final design every single photo in the album is carefully Photoshopped, colour balanced, density checked and worked on. Once the album design is 100% finalized the files are prepared for and delivered to the lab. During every stage of this process I consult with my client and together we make sure the finished product is exactly what they want.pembrokeshire wedding

So what’s this got to do with Uncle Bob and the credit crunch ?

Everyone knows or has an ‘Uncle Bob’, the guy with a camera who will be willing to take your wedding photos for free. You have seen his pictures and they are pretty good. Every bridal magazine is running tips on saving money and has the obligatory ‘Must Have Wedding Photos Shot List’. Every wedding web site forum talks about getting friends or family to shoot your wedding and giving you the images on a disk. This all sounds GREAT and is a fantastic way to sell magazines, after all every couple want to save money no matter how big the budget is.

The reality however is this weddings are possibly the hardest event for a photographer to photograph ever! Weddings encompass every genera of photography – Architectural, Landscapes, Portraits, Editorial, Candids, Macro photography and the ever classic paparazzi shots. Weddings take place in some of the ‘photographically speaking’ most hostile and demanding environments you will come across.

One moment your in the Blazing Sunshine, the next moment your in a dark and gloomy church where flash is not allowed. If your really unlucky (and lets face it, we all live in the UK) It could be pouring down with rain on top of everything else. The whole time you only get one shot to get it right – screw it up and your album is ruined !

There is a HUGE difference between consumer & professional camera’s, not to mention the quality of the lenses used. I used the very latest Nikon Professional Camera Systems and lenses. I always carry 3 cameras with me – 2 in use and 1 as a backup. My camera bodies are waterproof and the lenses sealed against rain and snow.
I carry enough flash’s to light up a football pitch let alone your reception venue. In short I will get the shots that allow me to deliver you a wedding album you will LOVE and cherish forever.

Anyone can take 100 pictures and get 10 good and 1 great photo. It takes a professional photographer to consistently capture well exposed, correctly colour balanced, sharp in focus images that are not grainy or that too dark or totally washed out.

Knowing where to be and when to be there is also a very important part of wedding photography. If you happen to miss the important parts of the wedding there is no going back and doing it again.

The reason I am telling you all of this is not to get you to book me, (naturally I would love to photograph your wedding) but it’s here to get you to book a professional wedding photographer.

I have heard horror stories from brides that had friends shoot the wedding but I have heard good things also. One thing that is consistent however is every bride I have asked who had friends shoot their wedding (happy or not) have said with hindsight, if they had to do it again they would use a professional photographer after seeing the difference between what they ended up with and what they could have had.

There are wedding photographers out there who charge two or three time what I charge and there are wedding photographers out there who charge 1/2 what I charge. Price should not be an indication as to quality so always check your photographer portfolio carefully and always ask to see complete albums. Do you like the way the story has been told, if it were your wedding album would you be happy looking at it in 20 years time? and did they capture those special little moments?

Why has it been so important for me to get this information across to you ? Well its because I wholeheartedly believe that :-

“The true essence of a great photo is not what it says today but what it will say in the year’s to come.”

As time goes by in the months ahead the credit crunch will ease, you will move on with your life, kids perhaps, a bigger house, a newer car, more exotic holidays. The cost of the whole day will slowly become a dim distant memory as will be the events of your wedding day themselves. In 10 or 20 years time when you take out your album, the cost of your wedding photography will pale into insignificance compared to the value of the memories it will brings back.
