Sourcing Dallas Fort Worth Wedding Photography

By Barbara Smith


An important part of planning wedding day events is selecting someone to take photographs as a record of the day. Photographic images provide a lasting visual record of your special day and last for many years. There are a lot of things to take into consideration when trying to find suitable Dallas Fort Worth wedding photography and some care is needed.

When looking for a photographer there are a few obvious places to start your search. Many people who work in the wedding industry will share their contact details with each other. Bridal gown shops, cake makers and florists in Dallas, TX will all have contact details for photographers in your local area who have been recommended to them by clients.

Many high street businesses are available that offer complete wedding packages which will include someone who can take photographs. It is also useful to ask work colleagues, family members and friends to see if they have any recommendations. Some photographic clubs will also provide students to take pictures but be aware that the finished pictures may not be as good as ones taken by a professional in the field.

Another great place to look is on the internet and there are hundreds of companies to choose from. Many of these web sites will have examples of work they have done previously and this will help with ideas and selection. Contact details will be published on the web sites to enable you to contact them directly and discuss your requirements.

When you have made your selection you should contact the company or individual and set a date to meet up either at their place of work or at your home. A professional photographer will bring along examples of their work for you to look at and they will discuss your plans for the big day. It is well worth spending time with them and building a good relationship as you will be spending a lot of time together on the wedding day.

When the planning stage is finished it is advisable to spend some time discussing how the finished prints will be presented. Special albums are a good choice and your chosen photographer will have samples of these for you to look at. With most photography now being digital, photos can now be presented on discs and on portable media.

When the pictures are ready the photographer will contact you and make an appointment for you to view the proofs and make a final selection. Most will allow you to take the proofs home to enable you to spend some time picking your favorite snaps. After making your choices the album or discs will be prepared for your collection or mailed to you.

A lot of wedding photographers will also offer alternative ways for you to display images of your day. Pictures can be transferred to clothing, canvas and other objects and these can make nice gifts for people who attended the wedding. The majority of businesses will allow you to keep the proofs but should you wish to reproduce any you will have to ask their permission beforehand.
