While it is subjective to rate the photographs, as each photographer has his or her distinct style, there are still a few core criteria on what makes decent photography . Here are my few tips to help you select a wedding photographer, and hopefully you will receive images that you like, more than Ms Jaclyn liking hers.
1.
Select a photographer with the biggest
lens.
Size matters. Surely, the biggest lens
will produce the most flattering photos, right? How many times have you told
yourself, “This person must be a good photographer, look at that big lens he is
carrying!”. Having a big lens is a big bonus. The photographer simply needs to
park the car, roll down the window, and start shooting, private detective
style. This is the highest form of photojournalistic photography, a style that
wedding couples rave about nowadays. It
will be least intrusive and images captured will be most candid.
So, the first question to ask when you
meet a photographer is, “How big is your lens?”

2. Select a photographer with the highest megapixel camera.
This
comes a close second. A high megapixel camera will no doubt capture a lot of details.
All the hard work you’ve put into the wedding preparation will be captured with
a deservingly advanced camera. High megapixel camera are easily accessible by
the masses. Chances are, many of your wedding guests already have smart phones
that are capable of shooting more than 10 megapixels. It might come with smile
detect ion function as a bonus! In the future, scientist might even come up
with cameras that will automatically detect important moments, and capture
them.
So
don’t forget to ask, “how many megapixels can your machine do?”
