How To Find A Montreal Wedding Photographer For Your Special Day

By Lynn Beard


Often a couple will have questions about hiring and working with a Montreal wedding photographer. This is to be expected since most people do not have the need for a professional to come to take pictures. They often do it themselves or go to a studio. For an important occasion such as being married, it is important to find a highly skilled professional to take pictures. These photos will become a treasured part of your history.

One common question is whether or not it is wise to save money and have a friend or family member take the pictures. The answer is this is not a good idea. If you want to save money do so elsewhere. The photos are one area where you do not want to skimp. An amateur will provide you with pictures that look like they came from an amateur.

Meet with the person well in advance of the big day. You should discuss pricing and exactly what you get for the price you are paying. The professional should be able to show you a large sampling of his or her work. Take your time to look over the work. It is a good idea for both the bride and groom to do this, you may also want to bring along an additional family member for another opinion.

What should you do if the pictures are good, but just not your style is another often asked question. You should be honest. Not every person can please every other person. You will have your own style and that is fine. There is someone out there that will be a good match for your style.

Taking the time to meet with more than one person is also beneficial to you. You are able to compare prices to find one that suits your budget. Speaking of your budget, you should have a clear idea as to what your budget is before you meet with anyone. Be sure to let the photography professional know what your budget is so that he or she can see what they can do for you while still remaining within your budget.

It is important to discuss the must have shots that you as a couple want. If it is important to have photos of certain people, it will up to you to say so. The person you hire to take pictures does not know you or your family, you do, so it will up to you to let the person know what you want.

Something else that a bride and groom should know is what to do if something changes after the contract is written and signed. If this happens, it would be important to update the contract. If something is not in the contract, it is like it was never agreed to. The contract is your protection, make sure that it is updated properly anytime something is added or taken out.

Finally, how often to be in touch with your Montreal wedding photographer is another question that is heard often. You should stay in touch periodically in the months leading up to the wedding. In the days or week before have a more in depth conversation about what is expected, also go over the date, place, and time. This way there is no room for misunderstanding.
