Your big day is fast approaching and most of your free time is spent planning for this. One of the most important decisions you will need to make will be a wedding photographer. Keep in mind this day will come but once in a lifetime and you only have one chance to get the best pictures. You don’t get another go at the wedding and these pictures will last you a lifetime. The main thing I tell people is to take your time.

There are many ways to look for a wedding photographer. One way I suggest is to look on the internet. As a professional I would suggest to strongly consider a professional to do the job for you. If they are an AIPP member this is also good as well. I am both of these things and I promise I will provide you and your special the very best of what I have to offer. I have personally won an award for a wedding album I created. I would be welcome to show you this.

I will also help you with the style you are looking for. I encourage you to come to me with your ideas. I will always listen to you and what your desires and wishes are. It’s important to me and those that work for me that every wedding we do is perfect. Please do not make your decision based just on the price alone. Allow me the opportunity to explain fully the services I provide. Please do know after the long day of your wedding and all the pictures that my job is far from over. It will take me another 30 or more hours to get your wedding album together.

So do keep in mind this is a very important decision. Do keep an open mind and be open to suggestions. My wish for you is that this person that you choose be that perfect match for you. This is very important and plays quite the role in making sure you day is a huge success. Knowing that you have made a decision will give you peace and mind. I have enjoyed telling you a little more about me. I am located in Perth for all your wedding needs, yet can travel all over the state if needed. I regularly shoot in Broome and Margaret River and have been overseas and interstate as their photographer.

Absolute and Alive Photography is my company and we offer wedding photographers in Perth.  We’re a small team that also includes wedding album designers.

Hiring a Wedding Photographer in Perth April 5, 2011

A wedding is one of the most important days in a woman’s life and capturing the memories of the wedding is very important. It is very important that you know exactly what to look for when hiring a wedding photographer. You should look at the photographers samples and references before you decide to hire them. Also you want to make sure their prices are reasonable if you re budget conscious by comparing 2-3. Another important thing is to make sure their personality matches yours, as you will be spending all day with them.

Wedding Portfolio

The first thing you should check out when looking for a wedding photographer is their portfolio. Always ask to see samples of other events they have been hired for. Ask them for references of their work. You want to make sure you will be getting great quality work from them. You will also be able to get more ideas for your big day by doing this.

Wedding Package Pricing

Next you should make sure the photographer’s prices are reasonable. Make sure you are not going over your budget when you choose your photographer. There are photographers that offer good quality for an inexpensive price. You just have to look around and don’t go for the first one you find.

Personalities & Style

You should make sure the photographer’s personality matches or is similar to yours. You want your photos to be perfect to you not someone else. If you like things simple and elegant you don’t want your photographer to be all over the place taking unnecessary photos because you will end up feeling like you wasted your money. You can usually tell what type of personality they have by the way they talk to you about your special day and even by their portfolio.

These are a few of the things you should look for when you are hiring a wedding photographer in Perth. Do not rush into any contracts. You want to take your time and plan properly, you will get better results this way.

Perhaps your most important decision when planning your wedding, after picking the venue, is choosing a photographer who will have the awesome task of preserving your special moments in pictures.

It is always wise to check the referrals and testimonials of any wedding photographer. Most local wedding professionals have websites that feature samples of their work, statements of their philosophies and information on the various packages they offer. They will also display their membership credentials and affiliations for your perusal. Professionals may belong to one, some or all of these organisations.

One of the most prominent is the Australian Photography Association or APA.

They can give you names of Perth photographers who are trusted members.

Munja Gardens Wedding – Wedding Photographer in Mandurah February 6, 2010

I shot a wedding at Munja Gardens (Karnup) for Kerry and Ryan.  Kerry was a beautiful bride and wore her wedding dress with absolute style, needless to say Ryan was speechless when he saw Kerry for the 1st time when she walked down the isle with her father.

Their wedding ceremony at Munja Gardens also included a butterfly release ceremony which was spectacular.  The butterflies were awake and ready to go, how ever a few hanged around and gave me an excellent photo opportunity. I also nearly stepped on one of them by accident.

Here are some of their wedding photos from Munja Gardens
