You will want incredible images that capture the ultimate moments of this special day for you, your loved ones and future generations. Hiring a photographer with experience is crucial-not only will they know how to get the best shots without having to worry about directions, but they’ll be more than willing to offer their input on what the best time of day or location would be for all possible lighting conditions.
We all know that weddings are supposed to be a joyous occasion, but it’s also true that they can sometimes get stressful. You’re trying to plan your big day while you’re still working full-time, getting everything ready for the ceremony and reception, making sure every detail is perfect…and you don’t have much time! That’s where hiring a professional wedding photographer comes in.

I know how important these photographs are for you, is it really worth the risk of hiring just any amateur? After all, those memories are going to be with you forever.
Don’t Let a Friend With a Nice Camera Shoot Your Wedding
Which one sounds better to you? A professional photographer or a “random person” who has a nice camera and is willing to snap a few photos for your special day. When it comes down to it…the second option doesn’t stand up against someone experienced in wedding photography. But what makes Athlone Photography so different from everyone else? That’s easy, I pay attention to the details that go into taking wedding photographs, because I know how important this event is for my clients. I want the best images that will give an emotional response (happiness, of course) every time you look at them and think about your big day! This takes time and effort, and knowing what to do before, during and after the wedding. Your friend with a camera will just be taking photos, and when it comes to editing, they have probably never spend weeks culling through thousands of phots, then edited the hundreds that are kept to ensure you get high quality wedding photos you deserve.
Instead of asking your friend to do the photography, let them sit as a guest and enjoy the day and hire a professional photographer. Let’s face it, it’s probably not fair to get your friend to run around for 8 to 12 hours carrying heavy photography gear and only take a 20 minute break. Believe me, it’s an exhausting long day for every wedding photographer.
