Some thoughts from Gypsy.<\/em><\/p>\n It is a well asked question, especially in these modern days when there is access to so many to choose from.<\/p>\n When I started as a Wedding Photographer it was quite a simple task to be seen and get connected to potential couples and even more so on our small Ibiza. The industry, of \u2018Destination Weddings\u2019, was still relatively small and intimate. I knew most of the best Ibiza Wedding Suppliers and they knew me. I had a simple website and being number one on Google Ranking was pretty easy. In the same way as a couple, choosing your photographer, I presume was also relatively easy.<\/p>\n Now we are surrounded by ample amount of photographers, of all talents and experience levels, with another ample amount of ways to promote and market themselves. I have begun to think it must be over whelming as a bride and groom to start looking for all their potential suppliers, especially abroad! I definitely know as a photographer it is over whelming to market yourself amongst all the many options there are now \u2018on the market\u2019, even in Ibiza.<\/p>\n I suppose there are two things to ask yourself at first; Is the Photography (and Videography) important to you as a couple? How important? Therefore what amount can you put aside for it within your wedding budget?<\/p>\n For some couples the priority is the food or the music or the venue and view. It really is such a personal choice. But for most I think the photography is high up there on the list of number one things to get right.<\/p>\n I am a visual person. For me good photography will always be a priority (wink wink)<\/em><\/p>\n We live in much more of an important visual world now- through Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook etc. photography has become a bigger form for communication. (A little pet hate of mine is bad quality photography, especially pixilated photos and crooked horizons.)<\/p>\n For you wedding day, so much planning goes into this one day and after the joy, the partying, the celebration, what do you have left; your marriage, your memories and your photographs and video.<\/p>\n Your family and friend\u2019s Smart phones will give 100s of photos. But the difference of the quality between these and a professional\u2019s 100s of photographs is un comparable.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> There are many labels put to Wedding Photography; Fine Art, Documentary, Natural, Relaxed etc. With presets and filters (in Digital photography) it has made it easier for different fashions to influence the style a photographer chooses. Finding a style that resonates with you and will still resonate in 10 – 20 years time is a valuable decision.<\/p>\n Experience:<\/p>\n Check their experience, validate their work. Being a good wedding photographer is not only about being good at taking photos, but having the experience to navigate a wedding day, whilst getting good photographs as well. Don\u2019t only check their Instagram numbers and portfolio. Find a Website, ask for Galleries of real weddings, speak on the phone. Make sure their skill is not just good marketing.<\/p>\n Cost:<\/p>\n Most of the time a photographer\u2019s price reflects their experience with in their market. (It is such a big question amongst photographers at the moment, how to price themselves against their competitors.) If you find the photographer that it is right for you, sometimes I even think it is worth not even thinking of what they charge. If this is unrealistic then try to find one that fits best to your style and your budget.<\/p>\n Reviews:<\/p>\n Check their reviews. Find other couples through forums that married in the same place and might have had the same team on their wedding, so you can ask personal questions.<\/p>\n<\/div> Also remember the photographer(s) will be with you for the whole day, they are a part of the wedding party, whether they are loud and energetic or quiet and in the background. So you want to like them!!<\/p>\n If you have any questions regarding your weddings plans in Ibiza, please just get in touch, I am happy to see what I can answer.<\/p>\n I leave you with some favourite photographs from Ibiza weddings we have photographed over the years.<\/p>\n And if you would like you would like to read more of my BLOG on my own website- click below.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>SO how do you start?<\/h3>\n
