With digital cameras becoming cheaper and better than ever before, it's no surprise that everyone seems to be a "photographer!" Anybody can push that shutter button and take a fairly decent photo.
If you are planning a Wedding and are looking for a photographer, "decent" should not be what you are looking for in a photographer. This, of course, applies to Portrait and Event Photography too! While it is true that cameras are better than ever, it does not mean that anyone is automatically a great photographer. What it means is that they are owners of great cameras. I own a real nice guitar but Eric Clapton I'm not. That's for sure!
One of the biggest mistakes people make when looking for a photographer is to do a goggle search and sort by price. Did you know that in many photo websites the images posted were not even taken by that photographer? Sad but true, and very bad for our industry! I hear all too often the horror stories about the wedding photographer that didn't show up at all, or that the pictures were mere snapshots.
While price is important, potential clients need to get to know their prospective photographer. Talk with them, get to know them and ask about their STYLE of photography. A professional photographer that knows what he or she is doing will be able to quickly and intelligently answer that question. While the amateur photographer will struggle to answer. There are many great photographers out there, you just need to take the time to find and talk with them. Your efforts will be well rewarded with photos you will be proud to share and own.
