A Professional, Or Your iPhone?

photographyWhen it comes to hiring professional photography services you may be tempted to opt out and hire an amateur, or just get your cousin, a friend, or someone else to do it. Usually when this happens you are left with photographs that are hit and miss, and that you may end up truly disappointed with. I’m sure we can all think of examples of exactly that. Photography is unusual in that many clients are under the mistaken impression that they know a lot about the subject. Because it is an activity that most everyone engages in at one time or another i.e., during vacations, at birthdays and other family occasions, etc., we often begin to think it is easy and we don’t need to hire a professional to do it. After all, you have your iPhone, right?

Experience

Professional photographers provide a service. Taking professional photographs is far more than just pointing and clicking. Although your pictures of people and scenery may look fine to you when taken with your smartphone, professional photography is several steps above that. The person behind the camera not only has the proper equipment to capture a variety of different types of photographs, they are on the outside looking in so they can see things with an artistic eye. Just as important, they have years of education and experience behind them.

Convenience

Consider the convenience. You’re getting married. Your bride or groom are getting married to you. Your friends and family are in the wedding. Like we said, you can grab your cousin, hand him/her a camera and say: point and shoot, but chances are you are going to get a ton of pictures you are not happy with. By hiring a professional photographer, you, your bride/groom, family, and friends can all reminisce for years to come about how uncle Jack tripped on the mic cord and fell into the pool.
