Which one is better, digital or film?

It will all really depend on what the photographer that you choose prefers. Digital is usually less costly than film. However, film can be scanned at a higher resolution when larger prints are desired, and it is ideal for fast moving subjects due to faster shutter speeds on 35mm cameras. On the other hand, digital prints come out the same as film, sometimes even better. With digital photography there are no negatives so there is no processing time at all, and less chance of damaged or lost film, or photo finishing problems. Digital photos can be easier to share with friends or family through emails, and online galleries. In addition, digital images are not likely to fade because they are usually stored on a CD or disk. Either way, if you really enjoy a photographer’s work, choosing which format to use for your wedding day should not be a huge problem.

What are the advantages of hiring a professional?

The main advantage to hiring a professional wedding photographer is experience. Most wedding photographers have experience dealing with many different individuals and difficult personalities. They have faced unfavorable weather conditions, and encountered technical problems. Since they specialize in photography, they are well equipped to handle various wedding sizes or photo demands. Unlike a friend or relative of the couple, a professional photographer’s main goal is capturing candid moments on film. Knowing they are depended on delivering superior photos that will be cherished for years to come, they are less apt to be carried away by aspects of the ceremony. With an event that allows no second chances, hiring a professional is a good investment that will help keep your memories of your special day around for years.

How far in advance should I book a photographer for my wedding?

Many photographers recommend booking a photographer as soon as you get engaged, or at least until you know the wedding date. It is suggested that the engaged couple book 8-12 months in advance because many studios book wedding dates quickly. Weddings are more prominent from May to October when the weather is most favorable. If you choose to hold your wedding within this period, the photographer you choose will likely require a non-refundable deposit or retainer fee to hold your wedding date. This ensures that you will have this studio or photographer on your desired date, as well as securing a job for your photographer. The sooner you book your photographer, the more likely you are to be able to work with your first choice.
