Reply To: picking a photographer

Perhaps “Sally” is a bit shy but still curious about what other photographers are achieving.

Everyone hopes they only have one pass at their wedding photos.  Your wedding photographer is confidante, planner, organizer, director, and of course, photographer.  You want one you are totally comfortable with.

Once you have picked your photographer, you have to discuss what you want.  If some shots are important to you, you have to let your photographer know, otherwise you get the standard set.  Let the photographer know what your mother and mother-in-law want too.  Assign someone from each side of the new family to locate family and friends and get them in front of the photographer at the right time.

Many of the great photos are pre-planned.  A great example of that is here:  http://www.chfi.com/2012/05/24/wedding-photo-in-the-middle-yonge-dundas-intersection/ .  Everyone in town was talking about the photo.  Toronto is fourth largest city in North America.  Yonge Street is the main street and Dundas is a very busy intersection, with a unique traffic light sequence.  It has an all-ways walk signal that stops all the cars so pedestrians can cross diagonally.
