Locating A Wedding Photographer Santa Cruz

By Steven Scott


A very crucial part of planning a wedding day is selecting a professional to take the photographs. These images provide a visual record of your day and evening, and will last for years to come. There are a lot of important things for you to take into consideration when trying to locate a wedding photographer Santa Cruz and some careful thought is needed before you make a decision.

When you begin your search there are some useful places where you can find professional photographers. A lot of businesses within the wedding industry will have email addresses or telephone numbers of other people that they have previously worked with. Card stores, dress makers and caterers will all usually have details of photographers that their clients may have used and recommended.

Companies can be found on the high street in your local area that can offer services including good photographers. It can be useful to talk to people you know who have used a photographer to see if they can recommend someone. There are some amateur clubs that may offer to send their members to do a shoot to gain valuable experience but their work may not be of the highest quality so you should bear this in mind.

A large number of companies and individuals now advertise their services online and this is a very useful place to do your research. The web sites will have examples of work they have done before and this will give you an indication as to their quality of work. Most of the sites will have a contact link so that you can get in touch and discuss your plans before deciding.

When you have found someone suitable you will need to contact the photographer and set a date to meet at their studio or in your home. They will show you some examples of their work and will then discuss your ideas for the day before giving you a price for the job. It is worth spending some time with them as you will both be spending a lot of time together so it is important that you get along well.

When you have had the initial consultation the next step is to decide how you want your pictures to be presented. Most companies will show you samples of quality albums that can be used to display the finished pictures. In the digital world many companies will supply photos on DVD's or flash drives and these can also be useful as a back up.

When your photos have been processed, and are ready for you to view, you can make an appointment for viewing proof copies and making selections. You will be presented with many proofs and it is advisable take these away and choose your pictures carefully before making final decisions. When you have made the selections the pictures will then be processed and can be picked up or they will be mailed to your home.

Many photography companies can also offer other interesting ways to display your images. Pictures can be transferred on to a wide range of items such as ceramics, glass and wooden objects. Some firms will allow you to keep a digital copy of pictures but if you make further copies, their permission will be needed due to the copyright laws.
