References

Just Like You Would Check Out an Employee or a Tenant, Check Out the Status of Your Photographer with the BBB and by Asking Around.

When asked to provide references, most photographers will offer names of couples they know are happy with their work. And why wouldnt they? Some may even give you names from weddings they performed several years ago, although it may not be a true indication of the photographer's current ability and reputation. When asking for references, ask for recent weddings.

When you call those brides, ask questions like:

* Was the photographer was prompt, cordial, properly dressed?

* Did the photographer perform the duties as expected, or did they go the extra mile with customer service?

* Was the value of the photography services worth the price that was paid?

* Overall, how happy were they with the wedding photographer in question?

The definition of good photographs varies from person to person, as everyone has their own perception of value and expectations.

Your wedding photos are a permanent reminder of the love story of your wedding day. All that matters in the end is that your story guide is pleasing to you both as you begin your new adventure as husband and wife.
