Wedding Photographer

A Wedding Photographer takes photos at a wedding ceremony or reception. You might also take professional pictures of the bride, groom and bridal party at the wedding or at a separate location. Wedding Photographers liaise with couples to discuss what style of photography they’d like and negotiate a photography package. You’ll edit the photos and might put together a wedding album or a series of printed wedding photos.

Wedding Photographers need to be flexible and able to meet the requirements of a bride and groom. You’ll need to be a skilled photographer who can capture quality images quickly. Wedding Photographers need strong personal skills and should be able to understand the needs of their clients.
