Photography is a subtle art, not to be practiced by the inattentive. This art requires an eye for detail, sensitivity towards fellow human beings and all that surrounds us. Without these traits one can’t be a good photographer. If you’re in a refined place like Doylestown PA, you want your wedding photographs to come out looking good. That’s why you must hire only a professional Doylestown PA Wedding Photographer, and not ask your nephew Mark to do the job done cause he fancies himself good with the camera.

That’s the classic mistake that many people have made and forever lost the golden moments of their weddings. Weddings are large affairs and a lot is happening everywhere. An amateur photographer would focus only on the surface, and maybe more on the food circulating around. But a professional Bucks Country Photographer will delve into the moment, taking snaps that will delight you for years. So for your wedding hire only the best Doylestown PA Wedding Photographer.

There’s another advantage of hiring a professional to the job. A family member or a friend will be distracted by others who are a part of the wedding. How’d you like if you were put on the sides watching them while your friends had so much fun? A Doylestown PA Wedding Photographer has no such problem, because he won’t want to waste time chatting up friends, or taking part in activities. The Bucks County Photographer is there to do only one job – take great photographs.

These days the advent of digital technology has helped the photographer very much. They now shoot a lot more snaps on high-capacity memory cards, and you can view the photos in a CD on your PC. You can then select what photos are good and should be printed. Almost every Bucks Country Photographer provides this service. But it’s a good idea to ask your Doylestown PA Wedding Photographer beforehand.

For all of us, wedding is one of the most important occasions of our life, and we want to preserve the moments forever. A professional photographer will make sure that these memories are of smiling friends, bridesmaids catching bouquets, a handsome groom walking up the aisle, not of Uncle Richard digging his nose for boogers. That’s the difference between a professional Doylestown PA Wedding Photographer and an amateur. Who can risk not hiring a pro Bucks County Photographer and ruin his or her wedding memories?

Professional photographers have professional equipment. They will have a good quality camera, flash-gun for low-light areas, battery replacements, a tripod, good quality lenses, filters, and other accessories. A Bucks County Photographer who knows his trade will shoot you only from your best angle. If you want to look beautiful in your photographs that probably every relative and friend will ask to see, you need to hire a professional. For your wedding, get only the best Doylestown PA Wedding Photographer.

By know I am sure that you’ve decided to only recruit a professional. Good decision. Now here’s a handy tip to figure out who to recruit. Ask your photographer for samples of his work. Bucks County Photographers often ask for their patron’s permission to show some of their photographs as samples, and a pro wedding photographer will show you shots that he has taken earlier. Seeing the photographs will tell you exactly what the Doylestown PA Wedding Photographer is capable of, and you’ll be able to hire without trepidation.

Working With Event Photographers: 8 Tips For Event Planners

Thursday, August 12th, 2004

Tom Bonner asked:

Your next business event is coming up and everything seems to be coming together nicely. You’ve got the catering, the sound system and the guest speaker all lined up. What about your photographer?

Corporate events should always be recorded in photographs. Its a time when you bring members of your staff together, often away from the usual workplace. It might be a celebration luncheon, a pep-talk, a training session, a welcome to new members of the leadership team — whatever. You will find numerous uses for photos from such events, especially if it is successful.

I’ve shot countless corporate and small business events over the years, and I’ve experienced great and not-so-great event planners. If you’re charged with planning your company’s next affair, consider these points when working with a photographer.

1: Don’t plan on briefing the photographer just before the event

Your photographer needs plenty of information to achieve the best results. Often, an event planner will contract me to shoot a corporate event or meeting and suggest we meet “a few minutes before hand to go over everything.” It sounds good in theory, as it saves time for both the planner and the photographer to eliminate an advance meeting. In practice, I’ve found that no matter how well planned, the hours leading up to the start of the event are extremely hectic. The planner always envisions plenty of time to go over things before the occasion starts. Then the caterer gets lost. Or the sound system goes on the frizz. The harried planner waves me off saying something like — “Sorry, cant meet now. just shoot whatever you think looks interesting…”

Trust me. always schedule an advance meeting before hand to go over specifics. Both you and the photographer will be glad you did.

2: Explain to the photographer what kind of photos you need

How do you intend to use photos from this occasion? Print? The web? How soon do you need them returned? Do you need digital (delivered on CD or DVD) or prints? Will the photographer provide you with an online gallery you can download from? These factors will impact the way the photographer shoots the event and what equipment he uses. Get all of this laid out in writing before the event. Don’t skimp on this step.

3: Don’t surprise your photographer

Event planners love to surprise their guests. Nothing wrong with that, but the cameraman should not be kept in the dark. Recently I was shooting a corporate event where the planner arranged to have a small, concealed cannon spew forth hundreds of streamers into the air. Acting quickly, I was able to catch some of the streamers in flight. Had I known what was going to happen before hand, I could have placed myself in position to capture a much stronger image.

4: Provide a safe place to stash camera gear

Expensive camera gear is a prime target for thieves. You want your photographer to be concentrating on getting great images, not worrying about someone walking off with his gear. If possible, have a safe, secure place where extra camera gear can be stored.

5: Arrange parking and unloading areas

Depending on the event, your cameraman might bring along a load of equipment. He or she will need to get all that gear to the event venue. If possible, provide the photo crew with close, accessible parking. If that can’t be managed, then make sure they can unload at a convenient spot and then move their vehicle elsewhere.

6: Always brief security before hand

In the post-9/11 world, security is often very tight at major corporate events. This is as it should be, but you don’t want your event photographer to be caught up in a security snafu. Provide some sort of written credentials and make sure security knows you have hired a photographer for the occasion. If you fail to do this, security might detain or otherwise prevent the photographer from doing his job. You will most likely be emersed in other aspects of the event and won’t be available to straighten everything out until afterwards. So much for photos from the event!

7: Find out if the photographer will be bringing an assistant

Assistants can be a great help to a photographer — running errands, holding up lights, taking notes, running interference or shooting additional images. If your photographer is bringing an assistant you will want to know before hand, so you can provide credentials, brief security and make whatever other arrangements necessary.

8: Inform the photographer about the dress code

There was a time when corporate or business events had a simple dress code: suit and tie for men, business suits for women. The only deviation from this would be a true black tie affair. Today, corporate events are all over the map. Some may still be formal or at least dressy. On the other hand, causal dress has invaded the workplace at many companies, especially for out of the office meetings and the like. You want your photographer’s clothing to match what everyone else is wearing. Some of the best event photos are candids, shot when the subject was unaware they were “on camera.” If your photographer is dressed to blend in with everyone else, they will have a much better chance of catching good candids. If their attire sets them apart, they will be easier to spot…and avoid.

Every event is different, and there may be other aspects you and your photographer need to address. By taking care of the above issues, however, you will have a much better chance of obtaining excellent photographs from the event.
