Wedding photographer choices can be extensive. Sometimes it’s hard to know where to begin. Some couples prefer to have friends and family shoot on the special day. While others prefer having an experienced clicker on hand to capture all those special moments. From the point of view of James Jagger Photography, we lean towards the latter. For various reasons. of Which this article discusses why for that once-in-a-lifetime day a professional wedding photographer is best.

Choosing a wedding photographer made easy with James Jagger.

As mentioned above there are many wedding photographer choices available in this day and age. It can make choosing head-scratchingly tricky. If there’s one thing you should look out for though it’s experience. And we’re not talking about how many weddings your shortlisted clickers have been involved with. 

A wider breadth of photography experience is a good bet. If the photographer in question has a wider and more broad portfolio of work to view then this is a good thing. It means they understand their craft deeper and can use their wide skill base to ensure your wedding day is captured in the best possible way. James Jagger’s photography experience straddles multiple areas. And this knowledge and skills base can set up your wedding photoshoot perfectly.

Approachable, friendly and hassle-free.

This is more about people skills than photography skills. But it’s something that should definitely be taken into consideration. Your wedding photographer needs to be approachable, friendly and provide a hassle-free experience. As clients, you need to click with them to ensure you’re on the same page. Having to manage people with something bigger in the mix isn’t the best situation.

James Jagger, as well as being an expert photographer, is also an extremely people-focused person. He’s dealt with clients from all walks of life and backgrounds. In all instances, James aims to make your life easier when those bells are chiming. As well as delivering the results you expect.

Organisational skills coming as standard with James Jagger.

It’s the wedding photographer’s job to cajole, herd and organise your wedding party guests when needed. Throughout the day there’ll be different scenarios. Some situations require the wedding photographer to be in the background, stealthily snapping away for those natural-looking shots. At other times the job requires organising your group for those en masse shots.

This shouldn’t be the bride or groom’s job. This is where an expert wedding photographer like James Jagger will be worth his weight in gold. James is no shrinking violet and will make sure the group shot sequences are pinned down. Likewise, if the crowd needs a shot of adrenaline, such as on the dance floor later on in the day, James will be there, geeing your guests up and getting them into the party spirit. Of course, great wedding photography images follow.

Respectful of the bride and groom’s wishes.

A wedding day is your day - nobody else's. And that means you have in mind exactly how you’d like proceedings to go off. Every couple has a list of wants and needs. Which are all different. And wedding photography will no doubt end up in this category.

Fortunately, James Jagger is used to this and happy to accommodate any wishes you may have about the wedding imagery you want. Of course, James can still guide and signpost you correctly. But this is all done with respect in mind and no untoward pushy behaviour.

Timely wedding photography delivery.

Once your big day has passed there’ll no doubt be the want to see those final wedding photographs. The happiest times are always wanting to be relived. Again and again. That’s why a professional wedding photographer should be used.

James is as efficient with post-production as he is on the actual day. As such, the delivery of your finished and edited wedding photos will be delivered in a timely fashion. In whichever offered formats you prefer.
