Congratulations on your engagement! Photographs that capture YOU will be very precious to many people in your lives, for years to come.

Top reasons to hire a professional photographer include.-

They can be trusted and relied on to get it right!

They are members of a professional organisation with guaranteed standards and ethics.

They have experience with all aspects of your wedding day, ensuring nothing is missed.

Professional photographers develop a body of work over time. Look at lots of their images and you will get a good idea of the photographer's style, consistency and sensibility.

Ask yourself the question: Do the images you see move you? The delicate balance of being present and unobtrusive at the same time at an event such as a wedding, as well as ensuring quality in all technical aspects comes with study, training and experience.

A professional photographer is prepared in every way for capturing your wedding, in ways that non-professionals are not.

A professional photographer also acts as a subtle guide throughout the whole wedding process, from planning the day through to the delivery of the wedding album.

The New Zealand Institute of Photography (NZIPP) qualifies photographers as meeting professional standards in all areas of practice.

TIP: Photographers all have their own inimitable style. However, to ensure everyone is on the same wavelength many professional photographers like to gain a clear insight into the type of photography couples are inspired by for their wedding. Gather images from magazines or other media to go over with your photographer.
