Discover Photo Studio will be hosting a headshot day

A good profile picture is essential for anyone using social networking as a business activity. Your profile picture is the first thing people see on social networking sites like Twitter, Linkedin and Facebook. The photo helps people make decisions about you – whether to add you, what type of person you are and even whether to do business with you, making it an important representation of you and your brand. Have your photo professionally taken. Many people skimp out on getting photos taken professionally – either because they don’t feel good about how they look or they don’t want to spend the money and figure they can do it themselves. Your photographer will make sure that you look your best by using appropriate lighting and backgrounds while making suggestions about your body language and positioning. A good photo on your social networks will help people connect with you and allow them to recognize you when they meet you in person being well worth the investment.

10 Things to Look for in Wedding Photography

10 Things to Look for in Wedding Photography

1. Only use photographers that are Full Time professionals. Beware of “part timers”! Only Full Time professionals invest for the long term and will be around for years to come. They will use the latest in equipment, techniques, products and styles. Yes, they may cost more but it’s worth every cent!

2. Make sure the photographers will realize YOUR wedding day vision.

Be comfortable that your photographers are listening to what YOU want captured and HOW you want it done rather than what they think is best. Multiple styles of images are best so that everyone will find something to love.

3. Be sure there are 2 photographers, preferably a male and a female.

2 photographers can literally be in 2 places at the same time! One photographer with the bride to capture her last minute tears of joy with mom or dad...while the other is ready for the groom’s first look at his bride walking down the aisle!

4. Interview the photographers that will actually be at your wedding.

Don’t be fooled by a slick salesman. Always be sure you are meeting with the people that will be there on your special day. Personality and chemistry between couples and their photographers is critical to a successful and stress-free wedding day!

5. Review album samples from your actual photographers.

Be wary of “Greatest Hits” albums. Be sure to see completed albums of the same wedding from start to finish. Make sure the samples you see are done by the photographers that will be at your wedding.

6. Ability to create a custom package that fits your needs and budget.

You should be able to customize your wedding contract so that you get only what you want and need. A professionally designed wedding album can cost $2000 or more so try to negotiate that into your package up front.

7. Be sure that your photographers are fully insured.

Who will be responsible if there is an accident involving your photographer?

8. Make sure the studio has backup plans for both people and equipment.

Stuff happens! Do your photographers carry a minimum of 2 additional sets of equipment to your wedding? What happens if they get sick the day before your wedding? There is only one chance to get your wedding day images right!

9. Membership in professional organizations like PPA or CPPA.

This is so important! Professional Photographers Association (PPA) and the Connecticut Professional Photographers Association (CPPA) provide access to the latest in education, trends, techniques, equipment, products and styles.

10. Online posting of your images is a must.

Relatives and friends will have the opportunity to view and purchase the images from your wedding. One less thing for your to worry about...or pay for! How cool is that!
