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 beginning your search there are a few places to start looking for your photographer. Businesses in Dallas, TX that operate in the industry will often advertise or have details of other people in the same line of work. Wedding cake stores, dress shops and card makers will often have contact details for photographers that previous clients have used.

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.

Many photographic companies and individuals also advertise their services online and this is a great place to do some research. These web sites will have various examples of the work they have done in the past and this will give you some indication as to their quality of work. Most sites will also have a contact link so that you can get in touch directly and discuss your plans and ask any questions.

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.

After discussing with them what you need on the day the next thing to do is decide on how you want the pictures to be presented. Most companies will show you samples of albums that can be purchased to hold your pictures. In today's digital world many will also supply DVD discs or flash drives containing your pictures.

When the pictures have been processed and ready to view the photographer will get in touch to make an appointment for viewing and final selection. You will be presented with many proofs to go through and it is a good idea to take these away and carefully select your favorite pictures. When you have made your selections the final pictures will be presented as discussed and can be picked up or sent to you.

Many photographic professionals will also offer other ways to display images of your day. Pictures can be transferred to a wide range of items such as clothing, ceramics and glass. Many companies will allow you to keep proofs or digital copies of all pictures but if you wish to make further copies their permission will be required due to copyright laws.
