Why You Should Hire A
Professional Photographer

'When phones today are capable of taking such high quality photographs, why should I spend money

on hiring a professional photographer?'

​

It's true!  If you read the specifications on the latest model iPhone today, you wouldn't be blamed for thinking it was written in a foreign language.  I am truly amazed by what the cameras in these much smaller (and much lighter!) devices can do.  But, there is so much more to taking a high quality photograph than just having top-notch equipment.

​

When you hire a professional photographer, you're hiring more than just their fancy equipment; you're hiring their experience and their creative vision.   Here are my top reasons why you should always hire a pro!​​​​​​​​​

Reason 1

​

​​Background and Lighting

​

​They can tell you where to stand and what direction to face, to ensure that you have the best possible background, lighting and make sure the wind is blowing your hair in the right direction.

Reason 2

​

Posing

​

They can suggest flattering poses that will not only make you look your best, but also make sure that your best friend, who's standing right next to you, doesn't look like they have three hands!

Reason 3

​​

Focus

​

They will make sure everyone in the photo is in focus and that the background is suitably blurred, or in focus, depending on the outcome you're trying to achieve. 

Reason 4

​​​

Small Details

​

They will capture the small details that you want to remember, but you'll probably forget to take a photo of yourself.

​​​

Candid and Emotional Moments

​

They will capture the candid and emotional moments, while you're too busy enjoying those moments. 

Reason 6

​​​

You can be IN the photos

​

Probably one of the best things about hiring a photographer is that you get to sit back, relax and enjoy your special day - stress free!  And, most importantly, you get to be in the photos too!

A professional photographer will do all this, plus give you so many different and stunning images to choose from.​ ​

 

So, if I'm not the right photographer for you, that's okay.  Keep looking until you find the right fit, because hiring a professional photographer is probably one of the best decisions you will ever make!
