What to expect from me as a wedding photographer?
If you are on the way to scout for a wedding photographer and you came across this account, let me say up front you are on the right track.
I am a photographer and wedding come in to my agenda every year, so for the past almost ten years I have been working solo and also with other wedding photographers, exclusively in portugal.
So the first thing to expect from me is experience. I consider experience a build up of a number of factors:
1. time, of course though time we learn a lot, we mature and we gather experiences of gains and losses, we learn how to be better everyday and how to overcome any side turn
2. diversity, no two weddings are the same, even if at the same venue with the same venders, uniqueness is a factor common to all weddings.
3. contacts, through the years we are wise gatherings of excellent vendors, and we can for sure guide and advice you on some, making the best match possible towards what you are looking for.
But experience is not only this, it's anticipation towards plan b or c or d, throughout the day, is being a listener and observer and knowing how to navigate through the day. Is about being flexible and communicating right.
This wedding at Herdade da Maxuqueira was one of my first ones I took as a solo photographer. I see the pictures now from a distance and I still see in it the work I am doing today, with minor twicks from EXPERIENCE.
The best way to know if your wedding photographer is experienced is to ask them. Don't be afraid to make questions. Experience is not only time but diversity and broadness of events.
Welcome and feel free to ask any questions!
