Finding the Best Professional Wedding Photographers For Your Italy Wedding

By Amanda Pumphrey


Big wedding parties in times of economic difficulties are not sustainable, which is why a growing number of couples decide in favor of small romantic weddings abroad: the parents and the in-laws, the good company of the best man and maid of honor for a different wedding somewhere in the world.

Once you decide on the location, hire a wedding planner to look after the details and formalities, leaving you with the fun part of planning your honeymoon.

Numerous couples travel to Italy every year for a romantic wedding in a famous art city (Florence, Rome, or Venice) or in a slower paced countryside location.

An essential part of our wedding in Italy is the Photographer

As part o their service, wedding planners normally organize wedding photography as well: in some cases they will offer a short list of qualified photographers.

The photo album of your wedding in Italy is probably the most important element and the only thing you'll have to show friends and relatives once back from the honeymoon.

The Wedding photographer of your choice should have a seasoned online presence and demonstrate a very strong command on the English language: Experience shows how a lack of communication during the wedding can lead to poor results and spoil everything - communication is essential and the website is a first very important indication on how good their English is.

Start with Google.com and run a generic query for "wedding photos" and Google will suggest a limited number of thumbnail shots - if you click on one of them you'll be taken to Google Images where you can explore the universe of wedding photos Google has indexed and identified - do the same on Flickr.

A large community of users passionate about photo and video is on Flickr. Mostly an image based Social Media platform, Flickr harbors millions of users with an interest for photography. Here you'll find wedding photos uploaded by photographers or couples alike with comments and favorites you can use to guide you in your choice.

When it comes to choosing a photographer, Flickr offers all kinds of images from which to choose and is the perfect starting point to discover the best wedding photos online today.

Wedding Forums

Each and every voice of a forum will tell the story differently and it will be up to you to draw conclusions and ultimately choose a photographer: wedding forums offer a variety of opinions and points of view which may help in the decision making process.

There are hundreds of wedding forums on the web - simply search for "wedding forums" and find the wedding photography category : there will be plenty to read and learn.

Are they Award Winning Wedding Photographers?

Use your favorite search engine to find websites featuring wedding photography contests or news related to such events.

This is where you'll find the best professionals on the market today - expensive but well worth the expenditure.

Do you LIke the Man Standing Behind the Camera?

Your Research in Forums and Blogs will tell the story of many couples who got married in Italy before you - read and learn from their experience, understand who this person is and if you are compatible.

Reading testimonials about a wedding photographer is like reading reviews of a hotel: opinions vary significantly.

When you have created a short list of photographers send them an EMail and see how they reply: how long it takes them to get back to you, the approach, and ultimately the feeling you get from this preliminary correspondence: first impressions count.
