COST: Although cost is important, it should not be your primaryconcern when selecting a photographer. As previously stated, when most bridescall a photographer their first question is, "How much are your weddingpackages?" What they really want to know is, "How can I get thebest photography that my money can buy?" A wise man once wrote, "Thebitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low pricehas been forgotten." There is nothing someone makes that someone elsecannot make and sell cheaper. The most expensive is not always the best,and the cheapest in the long run could turn out to be the most expensive.You must first determine just how important wedding photographs are to you,keeping in mind that after the wedding they are all you have left to rememberyour special day. The food has been eaten, the flowers have died, and yourdress is stuffed in your mother's storage closet. Like any purchase withlasting value, you should spend as much as you can afford. By using the above 6 C's and create one more: Confidence. This is theconfidence that you have made the right choice in selecting the photographerfor your "Picture Perfect Wedding." Best wishes for a wonderfullife together. |
