What a Bride Should Know About Uncle Bob's Wedding Photography

Uncle Bob in Atlanta, Ga. just got a brand new camera, and your budget is tight. The most important day of your life is bringing you within 2 steps of being the bankrupt bride. Something has to give. It's better to sacrifice a layer of the cake along with your Uncle Bob's camera, than to sacrifice the greatest asset you will retain forever. Your family heirloom, will not come from Uncle Bob's Camera.

Although Bob may have gotten a pretty neat, hypothetically speaking of the devil, a Nikon Coolpix. Bob assures you that he can now capture your day, and here are five reasons why you should decline:

1. More than likely Bob's camera has an on body, or built in flash. This is not a plus, or a bonus feature. Think of an on camera flash as being catastrophic to any memory you wish to memorialize. In the least, Bob's flash will not bounce, or rotate. Nope, the harsh uncontrolled light is gunning straight for your face.


2. Unlike some Atlanta Wedding Photographers that provide double coverage, Uncle Bob is just one man. Only having a singular perspective for your magical day is indeed very limiting.


3. This may be the very first wedding that Uncle Bob has captured. Unless somebody in your family gets married before your big day, and Bob makes a convincing point to capture theirs, then you really have no idea how good Bob really is at wedding photography. Gamble much?


4. Do not bet any and all memories of your special day on the reliability of Uncle Bob's new consumer grade camera. Most Atlanta wedding photographers carry multiple cameras on person.


5. Bob most likely did not purchase post processing software, with the purchase of his new camera. These programs are expensive. The shutter actuation of Bob's camera means the job is done. For a professional, it is close, but there is still work to be done.

In actuality, there are scores of reasons why you should decline a family members offer to photograph your special day. These few reasons should be sufficient alone to alert you of the potential pitfalls of entering into such an offer. Bob needs to be at your wedding as an invited guest, let him be in photos too.
