Secret # 1 Revealed: How To Have A Great Time On Your Wedding Day.

You want the most romantic, beautiful, emotional, wonderful wedding day anyone can ever imagine. Isn't that the most important thing to you? You want to see all your guests, talk with them, thank them for coming and you want to enjoy your wedding day! You want everything to go just right.

Well, I have to let you in on this: a lot of brides and grooms don't have a great time at their wedding. That's because they are so darn busy taking photographs, they never get a moment free to see and spend some time with their guests. The photographer always wants them for one thing or another. They just don't have a great time on their special day. Don't let this happen to you!

So, how do you have a great time? Select a photographer who is not going to monopolize your time and keep you away from your guests. Average run-of-the-mill photographers are like a "bull in a china shop". They show up at your wedding and push their way around. They upset things. They hold up the flow of your wedding day! And this happens because the brides and grooms want really nice photographs, so they let the photographer run like a "bull in a china shop".

Well guess what? (I hope this doesn't shock you). Your photographs are not the most important thing to you! But if you talk to the average run-of-the-mill photographer, this is what they will tell you. "Your wedding photos are the most important thing to you. After your wedding is over, the food will be gone, the flowers will be dead, the band is gone and the only thing you will have after your wedding is over is your photographs". Whatever you do, don't hire a photographer who says that (or something similar) to you. Because that photographer will try to run your wedding day, and ruin it for you!

Remember this: the most important thing on your wedding day is not the photographs, it's your time, your emotions, your relationships, your family and friends. These are the factors that will truly allow you to enjoy your wedding day!

So how do you have a great wedding day? Select the right photographer carefully. Select a photographer that understands your wishes, and will take really good care of you and your wedding party and not ruin your special day.

Secret # 2 Revealed: Meet The Photographer In Person, Before You Make Any Decisions! This is very, very important!

Be absolutely sure you like the photographer and you want him at your wedding representing you and your family. Make sure your photographer is not a "bully" and won't try to run your wedding. Remember the photographer is working for you! You are not working for the photographer! It's your wedding day, it's your party, it's your family, it's your friends and you're the boss!

Secret # 3 Revealed: Be Absolutely Sure The Photographs You Are Shown, As Samples Of The Photographer's Work, Were Actually Created By The Photographer Who Will Be Photographing Your Wedding!

You are probably not aware of this, but many photography studios hire part time photographers who are college students, or out of work photographers, to photograph some of their weddings for them! So be sure when you meet the photographer, he is showing you his own work! Otherwise, you might be really disappointed later. (Hint: read chapter 1, I'm referring to deadly mistake # 4).

Secret # 4 Revealed: Hire A Photographer Who Will Help Everyone To Have Fun, Relax and Feel Comfortable During Your Wedding Day.

Most people don't feel comfortable in front of a camera! For your photographs to look really great - by that I mean that every time you look at them, you can feel the emotion involved with them because they are so meaningful for you - in order to accomplish that, everyone has to look "natural" and be having fun during the photography.

How do you get this kind of photographer? You hire a photographer who really loves what he does! Someone who is a true "people person" who will enjoy sharing your wedding day with you. The average run-of-the-mill photographers don't like to photograph wedding. It's way to stressful for them. They would rather be at home. So why do they photograph weddings? The truth is because they have to! They need the money.

And that is completely the wrong reason to be there! (photographing weddings). You want a photographer who loves weddings, loves the romance and the story of your wedding day, and truly enjoys being there and photographing weddings!

Secret # 5 Revealed: Hire A Photographer That Has Talent!

I'm taking about style and design considerations. This is critical for your wedding photographs to look so natural and beautiful that you really feel the emotion of the day when you look at them. You want your photographs to look artistic and creative. You want great lighting and composition in the photographs. You want everyone to look comfortable and natural. And you want your photographs to look pleasing to the eye.

These "artistic elements" of the photography are really important. How do you make sure your wedding photographs have these "artistic elements"? You hire a photographer with talent who can create truly beautiful images! (Again, please read chapter one).

Secret # 6 Revealed: Get A Better Than Risk Free Guarantee!

This is a true indication of just how committed the photographer is to taking good care of you. The guarantee says something about the photographer's confidence. You want to select a photographer that guarantees you will be absolutely thrilled (not just satisfied) with your photographs or you get all your money back! You can't do these photographs over again. You only get one chance at it, so be sure the photographer really believes in what he does, and is going to work really hard to thrill you. For more on guarantees, please read chapter 1, deadly mistake # 4.

Secret # 7 Revealed: Does the Photographer really like People? Select A Photographer With Human Sensitivity.

Does the photographer truly want to put forth the effort to create a fantastic series of wedding photographs for you? Does he listen to your wishes and concerns? Does he make a great effort to create exactly what you want, not what he wants? These "human sensitivity" elements are so very important to the ultimate success of your wedding day and your photographs!

Secret # 8 Revealed: Select a photographer Who Is As Excited About Your Wedding As You Are!

Enthusiasm is the life of creativity! It's the backbone to good customer service and is a true indication of a photographer's commitment to creating great wedding photography for you. Enthusiasm tells you whether or not a photographer truly loves what he is doing. And you don't ever want to work with a photographer who doesn't love what he's doing!

Remember to shop for total value, look at everything the photographer is doing for you. Look at everything he is going to deliver. Price alone means absolutely nothing when shopping for photography. The "lowest price" is never the "best price".

There are seven basic things to consider before price. Here they are: # 1, reputation. # 2, integrity. # 3, dependability and ability to deliver. # 4, quality of product. # 5, guarantee. # 6, credibility, testimonials and references. # 7, customer service.

For more details on the above seven things to look at before price, please read chapter one. And remember, there will always be low-ball operators out there. I urge you to use the information in this Consumer's Guide to your advantage, as you won't see this kind of detailed insider information available from most other photographer's.

Don't fall for the "lowest price" game! There are trade-offs, you get what you pay for! The "lowest price" will only cause you pain and suffering. Always shop for total value! It's the only way to go!
