Finding a Wedding Photographer

It is highly recommended that the couple use a photographer that was used and enjoyed by members of the family [the event need not be a wedding, if the name came to you from someone who was planning a wedding anniversary the quality of the reference is what matters]. The couple should look at a list of references, speak to as many on the list as possible, and be wary of a photographer that isn't willing to give or doesn't have a list of those content customers who are also willing to discuss their experience.

If this attempt at references is unsuccessful, for instance if the couples Maui wedding planning didn't take into consideration the fact that they don't know local business, one can always try to make contact with the BBB or Better Business Bureau. If the couple is lucky their Maui photographer will not have a stack of complaints against him. Now while this cannot be taken as a good sign per se, it certainly allows for good conduct and the unknown Maui photographer should not be disqualified.

A big question when planning any part of the wedding is price range. If the couple has found the perfect photographers, the next step is to start the bidding war. The couple should try to stay on budget and negotiate. If none are willing to do so, then its time to consider wedding priorities. If the wedding planning includes a honeymoon, it should be taken into consideration that the difference in price might make the difference between a honeymoon in Maui or at the parents in law. If the couple must, it might be better to start over and compromise on the picture quality or photographers attitude in order to have the best 'big picture' of a wedding possible.

Why should one take so much care when choosing a photographer? Because no one ever goes back to the wedding video. this will be the couples one true souvenir from their wedding, and the more planning goes in to it, the more useful these pictures will be later on when the couple wants to revisit the most important day of their lives. So, ake care and give it thought, mistakes are avoidable and great pictures are always attainable.
