Wedding Photographer Swansea - Artisan of Your Wedding Memories
The competition from the Wedding photography Swansea and South Wales industry has gotten fierce. More and more photographers are entering what has become a growing market and there are also many couples who are willing to let their “photographer friends” shoot the big day, so when looking for a Wedding Photographer Swansea and South Wales – competitive edge is key to finding success.
As a client be it for portrait photography or an upcoming Bride & Groom, its best to cover all the bases, everything from shooting style to client budgets to after care.Nearly every photographer is describing their shooting style as some form of photojournalism: “fine-art photojournalism”, “photojournalistic style, balanced with family portraits and classic couple shots”, and “candid, documentary style photography with a touch of fashion and editorial” this is the modern style of photography giving way to more ‘traditional methods’ which take a big chunk out of the Bride & Grooms day often with waiting family and friend’s getting very bored and a B&G with sore smiling faces!
Couples want their big day documented just like it happens – capturing moment in time to be cherished for evermore, with a few setup shots of aunty Betty thrown in for good measure. “A wedding will always be a story of poignant moments, with a record that needs to be timeless,” says Wedding Photographers Swansea.
The wedding photography market is an over-saturated one. More and more hobbyists turning full-time make it even more so. The competition is tough, but pro’s feel like this just pushes them to work harder and become the best of the best. Also, many pro’s aren’t necessarily seeking the type of client who’s just as happy having their DSLR-wielding friend take over…
“Our advice is to work on finding your own particular niche,” says Photographers Leicester Amber Skye Photographer. “if you try to appeal to everyone, you will end up appealing to nobody in particular. There are clients everywhere, it’s just a matter of finding the right ones, we are very lucky in we appeal to likeminded individuals, who love our style and have an ongoing solid relationship with ourselves. ”
The trend of 2013 on this front is professional, high-quality photo albums. Even in a time when most photographers are providing the bride and groom with online image galleries and USB’s, clients want a physical reminder of the big day – and for someone else to do the hard work of creating it.
“I started including one book with each of my packages and feel like I’ve received more enquires from clients excited about a book!” says Wedding Photographer Leicester Amber Skye Photography. “We also love giving them to clients… it’s something they can hold to and share with others in such a special and magical way. Much better than staring at your computer screen! While some clients prefer to make their own prints and books, many clients still value the artistry and design abilities of the photographer”
