The importance of hiring a good wedding photographer

As a bride you book a wedding venue that meets your wedding vision, you find the wedding dress that is perfect for you, the food that you have chosen for your guests were all picked out carefully to ensure your guests will enjoy it.  I am sure all of these were top of your wedding list. Wedding photos should also be one of your top priority when deciding who to go with. Once you have walked down the aisle, cried, had your first kiss and tossed the wedding bouquet the ONLY tangible memory you will have with you, are your wedding photos!

This is not a decision to be taken lightly at all.  If there is ANYTHING you should spend money on, it is your wedding photos! I cannot tell you how many times we have heard brides complain after the fact that they did not like their photos!  It is the only thing that you will really have to remind you of your big day! We definitely recommend that you take your time selecting the perfect photographer for you, someone that you connect with as a couple – there are several different styles, qualities, and price points to choose from, experience is also another factor to consider.Make the right decision.

So what is the average cost of a ‘middle ranged’ photographer in Ottawa?

You are looking at investing about $2500-$3500. Now with that being said, yes you can find a good photographer for a lesser amount depending on the package, but this is the average cost. Wedding packages range from photographer to photographer and they offer different things. Some include the High Resolution files that you can print, some offer engagement shoots (this is great as you get to know your photographer), some offer wedding albums and others limit what comes with the package and you can add on. Some photographers offer great packages to work from, others work based on clients’ needs.

Again do your research and avoid disappointments. Your wedding planner should be able to recommend something that works for you.

Happy Planning! Contact us for more details.
