Hire a wedding pro in Switzerland: this is what you should pay attention to

If you would like to book a wedding photographer or videographer in Switzerland, you should not go with the first offer. The selection of photographers is so big that one can be free to choose. Here are some tips that you should consider whet it comes to choosing an image maker for your wedding ceremony.

Work with professionals only

Not every wedding photographer in Switzerland is a professional – even if there are numerous providers who claim this for themselves. Many so-called professional photographers work only at the weekend and are active in the rest of the week in a normal employment relationship. However, if you only make wedding pictures from Friday to Sunday and devote themselves to other things, you can not reach the level of a real professional. To an amateur one should turn only when the money is scarce and one is willing to make compromises in the quality of the pictures.

Transparency is everything

A transparent pre-politics is the best thing in the search for a wedding photographer in Switzerland. It is advisable to ask at the beginning, what you get for the mentioned price. Serious vendors list their services to their customers and make no promises, which ultimately turn out to be an air number. In the case of longer journeys, the cost of the journey can be in the three-digit range. A good wedding photographer is worth this money but always worth – in case of doubt you should not be afraid to engage a proven expert.

Caution: Hidden extra costs

Many wedding photographer in Switzerland trying to catch customers with incredibly low prices. Sometimes packages are offered for 800 to 900 CHF. The catch is that the couple have to pay a lot of extra services, which go beyond the shooting of the pictures separately. In addition to the travel costs mentioned above, this also includes the making of picture prints, which some wedding photographers in Switzerland can pay for 6 to 7 francs per pieces. If 50 guests come to the eatery, one pays up to 350 francs more than originally estimated.

The issue of image rights

When creating professional photos, the question of who owns the pictures at the end plays a decisive role. Most of the bridal couples assume, as a matter of course, that at least the raw data belongs to them and not to the photographer. However, this assumption turns out to be wrong in may cases. To create clarity on this question, serious wedding photographers in Switzerland are setting up a contract, which regulates what the picture-maker has to deliver and who owns what.
