Top 8 Traits You Want in Your Dallas Wedding Photographer

Award Winning Dallas Wedding Photographer Marcus - Call 877-858-0071
I've been a Dallas wedding photographer for over 12 years and my advice to savvy brides is that when it comes to choose the right wedding photographer, you need more than technical ability to take a photo. Raw talent or technical expertise is not enough.

1. First and foremost, you want to see a great portfolio of work. Because after all, it's the photography work you're going to end up with. And so you want to see the photographer you have in mind consistently produces the same quality work, wedding after wedding.



But there's more. To truly be HAPPY with your Dallas wedding photography, you are also going to want:

2. A wedding photographer that does what it takes to get the shot. I don't mean in a they knock people out of their way or disrupt the proceedings and get obtrusive to get their photos kind of way, but in that they don't stop five seconds short of getting the best image, looking for the easy or most convenient way instead or hanging it up with a "that's good enough." That photo's going to hang around for the next 125 years or longer. It's worth a few additional seconds of effort to nail it the best way possible. You want someone going to go the extra mile.

3. Patience. Your Dallas wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime LIVE event and nothing seems to happen on time even when it is on time. So you want a wedding photographer who has a short, immature fuse. Patience is a mature character trait. Much of which we may call "professionalism" are the very same attributes as those found in a developed, mature character. As a leading wedding photographer in Dallas, I know how to keep my cool, which also helps calm any nerves in brides... grooms... mother-in-laws and more :-)

4. You want a wedding photographer that keeps it all about YOU. Many photographers are artists and artists have egos. Everyone has an ego, actually, but artists seem to be extra known for theirs. Ego is a double edged sword. On one hand, it fuels ambition to excel. It can drive the photographer to outdo their personal best - which of course is exactly what you want. On the other hand, when it gets bruised, it can become a spoiled prima donna and act out. That's not great. Or it can inflate one's sense of self-importance. And at a wedding that's not so great either.

It's a matter of character again. The right professional knows how to keep his or her ego - the bad part -- in check. How do I do that? Because I know this day is not about me; it is all about YOU -- your love, your happiness, your special wedding day memories through your wedding photography.

5. You want a wedding photographer that understands what it means to have you as their client. As a client, you're under the photographer's care and protection. They're there to take care of you regarding your photography experience with them. They're there to provide expert guidance in your photography decisions. They're not there to sell you whatever stuff they have. Whatever they offer you needs to be with your best interest in mind, as if you were their little sister or brother.

6. Fits in and relates to everyone. Nothing could be worse than bringing in a person who's insensitive to your loved ones or guests, or even to the other professionals you have working at your wedding. Yet again this is another character trait that also manifests as a desired professional trait. The photographer should be courteous, respectful and gracious to all, and consider everyone they meet at your wedding as significant no matter who they are -- and treat them as such.

7. The ability to take a hit, roll with a punch, land on their feet -- and keep going. It's a live event. Even the ceremony which may be rehearsed a bit, isn't choreographed and rehearsed sufficient times. So many things may happen that present obstacles, delays and glitches throughout the entire day. But as the task at hand is to come out with consistent results no matter what, and the day doesn't halt for any one, the everyday situations which may present themselves as difficulties have to be surmounted, and quickly.

8. You want someone who knows exactly how to take advantage of and optimize every circumstance encountered throughout the day to deliver the best images possible under those circumstances. Every lighting. Every angle. This of course requires accumulated knowledge, a well of expertise and honed skills. But that translates as the ability to know specifically what to do in every situation they encounter to provide the maximum results.

And here are two bonus tips for maximum wedding photo happiness :-)

9. You want a photographer that has a vision. One that photographs with a purpose. One that photographs with a great eye for angle, lighting composition. This is the difference between a true photographer and an imposter with a camera. It's the difference between someone who takes a picture and someone who crafts an image. That purpose is what gives definition, a backbone if you will, to the images.

10. And you want someone who leaves you feeling only one certain way after it's all said and done. Because there are three ways you could feel when you see your photos after your wedding. You could feel the photos are terrible and your money was wasted, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. You could feel satisfied, that the photos are adequate, nothing to write home about perhaps but good enough. Or you could feel thrilled!!!

My name is Marcus. I think you'd want a photographer who leaves you feeling only thrilled. I will treat you right with great results, so call me at 877-858-0071 and feel good knowing you are in the right hands. www.WeddingPhotographerDallas.com

The Dallas Bridal Portrait Advantage


Dallas Bridal Portraits - Pros and Cons

These days, every Dallas bride comes to the dilemma of whether or not to have her bridal portraits taken. Many Dallas wedding photographers such as myself now are offering bridal portraits as a part of their packages, whether you choose to take your portrait before or after your wedding. 
Recently, the "after" wedding portrait's have recently been given the name of "Trash the Dress" which combines some more traditional bridal portraits with more adventuresome photos now that the dress will not be worn again.


Dallas Wedding Photographer for Image-Conscious, Contemporary Photography
First up, I need to say that many brides (trying to save a few bucks), hope that they can get away with having a couple shots taken on the day of the wedding ceremony, and that that will suffice for their "bridal portrait". Here's the problem with that: often the time runs our or the lighting at that part of the day between the ceremony and reception is not good. But even if there is time and you get lucky on the lighting, the main drawback is that you don't get to be as creative as you want to during your bridal portraits
Let's face it: what do you really want? Your wedding and your dress are incredibly special! You want to have your own bridal gown portrait session to show off their beauty and the dress in its full glory - which is actually YOUR beauty, and your glorious femininity!

PROS of Your Pre-Wedding Dallas Bridal Portrait Session

  • Provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity you will remember forever to have your hair and makeup trial done before the wedding, and putting that money to good use. You can see how you like your makeup and hair in the pictures and if you want to make any changes for wedding day.
  • You get to put on your wedding dress one more time! And making sure that all alterations made fit you perfectly.
  • You (finally!) get to see how you look with ALL your wedding day attire together - your veil, headpiece, jewelry, shoes.
  • I strongly suggest having a bouquet made just for your bridal portraits. Not only will that look great in the photos, it gives you the chance to try it out and see if you want to make any chances come ceremony day.
  • This is an opportunity for creativity on both yours, and your photographers, part to get some fun, romantic, and sexy shots of you in your pure white wedding dress. Nothing beats having beautiful artistic, and traditional, shots of you on your own dressed to the "nine's".
  • Working with me as your Dallas bridal portrait photographer, we get to work together for several hours. You get comfortable and experience how I work and how you can trust your results will turn out fabulous!

CONS of Your Pre-Wedding Dallas Bridal Portrait Session

Cons:
  • If in the process of your Dallas bridal portraits, you get creative, and your dress gets dirty, you may need to have it cleaned, but that is to be expected anyway.
  • Some are more pressured by time because of their dress delivery and/or wedding date. Do plan well in advance to avoid this if able.
In my opinion, and from the many brides I've helped, the pros definitely outweigh the cons! For total satisfaction in your wedding and Dallas Bridal portraits, call Marcus at 877-858-0071.
