Choosing a professional photographer?

Why a professional photographer makes a huge difference and how can you be sure of the results.


All too often we hear of couples that are disappointed with their wedding photos and are filled with regret for not choosing to engage a professional photographer for their wedding. At the time, they based their decision on price alone or opted for a friend or relative with a ‘wiz bang’ digital camera to photograph the wedding.

To state the obvious, photography is what we do professionally. We understand photography and work hard to achieve great results in a wide variety of circumstances. This includes working under difficult circumstances like less than ideal lighting, extreme sunshine, rain or dark spaces and manage the event procedings despite all the odds.

We know our camera equipment inside and out, can operate it quickly and have all the tools of trade (lenses, lighting, reflectors, ladders, hair spray!, sewing kits etc) to work anywhere and everywhere, anytime.

We have backup equipment (often four cameras for a wedding), public liability insurance, understand when permits are required, are experienced in guest and crowd management, conversing with other stakeholders and suppliers to your wedding.

Furthermore, when your big day is over, our professional job continues. We backup and archive your original images immediately, use the latest computers and digital enhancing software. On an annual basis we attend many industry and specialists lectures, workshops and expos to keep on top of developments industry-wide so we can continue to provide the best products and service to our clients.

Professional photographers will a member of at least one or several professional bodies such as the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers (AIPP) of which Morris is a member.

Morris is a Nikon School Ambassador and lectures to hundreds of upcoming photographers annually on how to use Nikon equipment and achieve the best imagery using it....a true extension of his love for photography.

But the best advice is to choose a photographer who loves what he does. The photographer must be really ‘into’ your wedding day or your special event – not just a professional spectator ‘doing a job’. He or she should make you feel at ease, laugh with you and share responsibility for creating the best outcome for your wedding day.
