Don’t be fooled by your Photographer!

A common misconception is that the photographs hanging in a photographer’s studio are all their own work. However, most photographers purchase art from a wholesale supplier to furnish their studio’s, especially in the early stages of business. Although its not something most people think to do, you should always ask the photographer if the work in the studio his his or hers. Most people are a little wary in asking a professional, so- is this your work?, but the truth is… you need to! Be sure that you see examples of their portfolio’s, which should be a collection of all the photographs from a specific wedding. You should also ask for the names and phone numbers of the people in the pictures. Just like being hired for a business style job, you should always ask for reference… and CHECK those references! Most couples who’ve used a specific photographer will jump at the chance to tell you how their wedding was, so don’t be scared to make the calls. Over all, checking your photographers work and references is the surest way to get quality work!

Good luck!
