Having difficulty deciding on your wedding photographer? Here are a few essentials to avoid to help you with this decision.

Don’t hire a photographer who…

…carries equipment that looks like it’s about to film an episode of Star Wars…

…flirts with the Bride or Groom…

…can’t get your names right…

…can’t remember your Mum’s name…

…tells you about their divorce…

…can barely hold a conversation… OR

…talks over you and interrupts everything you say…

…insists that a flash that looks like an intergalactic homing beacon is necessary for every shot…

…reels off a shopping list of requirements for the day – bacon butties for breakfast, steak dinner, bottle of wine etc…

…uses lingo like “retro”, “reportage”, “vogue”, “classy”, “mood lighting”…

…engages in eye-rolling, overly casual and generally too-cool-for-school-behaviour…

…swears every five words…

…has strong political opinions they need to tell everyone about…

…talks to their camera as if it is an actual person…

…takes the mick out of you, with the likes of “Cheer up, you miserable…!”

DO hire a wedding photographer who…

…makes you laugh…

…listens to you…

…is both an artist and business-person.
