I know right, everyone’s got a mobile now so why bother with a pro?
Well here are a few things to mull over.

I’m only getting married once!

Well hopefully! That’s certainly the intention so you really need to invest in a photographer who is going to give you memories that will last a lifetime.

The wedding’s over and you are on the plane home from your honeymoon…

You’ve been planning and looking forward to this day for what seems like forever and now it’s all over. This is exactly the time you will be glad you made the decision to hire a professional photographer. Getting a set of beautiful, coherent photographs that really tell the story of your special day, now that is priceless.

I don’t want any added stress on my wedding day.

Planning well beforehand means the day will run smoothly but trying to make sure your friends take all those photos you want, especially once they’ve had a drink or two, will be like herding cats! Trust me I have done it. This is another good reason to hire a professional wedding photographer, one that takes a photojournalistic approach to ensure the biggest day of your life is documented just how you want it.

Do I really want to see a sea of smart phones when I walk down the aisle?

I’m guessing the answer is a big fat no? I’m sure you would rather see the smiling faces of all your guests and the look on your partner’s face when they see you for the first time. A good candid photographer will catch all of this whilst being as unobtrusive as possible.

But you are a professional photographer you are bound to say this…

Well, yes that is true but I can say it with confidence because of my experience. Everyone has their own Dream Wedding Wish List, and you may have to cut some corners to stick to your budget, but I believe a talented pro-photographer is not one of the corners to cut.
