By Lucia Weeks


Planning for a wedding is probably the most difficult task for a newly engaged couple. However, if you want your big day to be memorable, you have to do everything you possibly can to ensure that this day is a success. This includes choosing various vendors like caterers, videographers, florists, venue and even photographer. When it comes to nuptial photography, you should not put your friend who owns a camera to be in charge. You need your wedding shoot to be done by a professional photographer. Below are factors you need to consider when looking for good Albuquerque wedding photographers.

Holding a wedding is getting costly by the day. Some of the factors that significantly contribute to this rise include transport, gown, catering and photography. As such, you should always try to find methods of cost cutting. One such method is to compare quotes from a number of photographers. At the same time, you must also not compromise on quality in pursuit of cheap rates. You need to find a balance quality and costs.

Experience is another very important factor. The art of photography requires a lot of practice to hone ones skills and accumulate knowledge. A better bet is to pursue someone with good reputation and verifiable experience in this industry. An easy way to gauge photographers experience is to look at his portfolio. This usually contains a collection of his past projects. For more assurance, you can also contact some of his past customers.

Availability of the photographer also matters a lot. While this might seem to be of less importance when choosing your wedding photographer, it is still very important. You might have located the best photographer in town who is also very affordable; however, if he is not available on your big day, then it will not work. It is therefore very important that you also make advance booking. However, even with the advance booking, you should also keep in touch with the photographer especially as the big day approaches.

It is also very important that you like the photographers work before hiring him. When it comes to photography style, it is absolutely important that you find someone whose work you completely like. This is a major factor in determining whether you will like your wedding pictures or not.

Much like photography style, one photographers personality will be completely different from the next. You have to keep in mind that you will be spending much of your big day in company of your photographer. You obviously do not want to spend such an important day with someone you are not comfortable with.

Before making up your mind, you should also listen to what the photographers past customers are saying about him. However, you need to be very skeptical of reviews posted on his website. They are probably handpicked or given by his close friends.

With the above tips in mind, finding a good wedding photographer should not be such a big problem. Once you identify the best photographer, you must also sign a contract with him. This will help avoid future disputes.
