My advice is to meet with the photographer before you book them, ask them to bring along some samples and a complete price list. We have met a few for our wedding and some 'photographers' are not what they seem. Just be careful.
(I know this is a little long bit I thought you might find it interesting)
Maple leaf dude said Try these english speaking folks…. And I can also recommend to you the same as they were my wedding photographers last year. There names are Bo L. Laschinsky and Scarlett V. Damen from SD Photography. There from Canada and have been living and working in Germany (near Hamburg) for 3 years now.
They are both commercial photographers who are offering the same high quality service to their private clients. They specialize in artistic nudes (including pregnancy& newborn) and weddings if asked they will also photograph families and kids. I had my bridal nudes, wedding and recently a nude pregnancy shoot and I’ll go again when the baby is here.
I used to think good photographers were old and stiff. When we were looking for a photographer for our wedding we met with tones of different so-called photographers. Some as walk-ins to their stores and some with sit down appointments. All in all I couldn’t believe how many of them had crappy portfolios most were ugly, dirty old plastic things. Others had no real portfolio to speak of. The majority didn’t have a studio and of the ones that did they were predominantly photo/camera shops with a small room in the back.
When we were recommended SD Photography ( SDP for short ) we were blown away at the level of professionalism, there studio is humongous and full of large beautiful framed examples of there work. Both Scarlett and Bo are in their late 20’s (28& 29 I think) and they are full of interesting and exciting ideas and willing to do whatever the client wants. (I guess that’s probably because of their commercial background – where the client is always right)
Bo and Scarlett are quite famous in Canada and getting there in Germany they are always doing photography shows, there’s a page on their website with the addresses and info about there current and upcoming in and out of studio, gallery and commercial shows (Artistic Nudes and Canada images)
They also offer completely different types of specialty shoots for the wedding couple such as their ‘Bride Shoot’, ‘Romantic Couples Shoot’, ‘Trash the Dress’ and my favourite the Groom shoot called ‘Pretty in Pink for Him’. Which my husband did at his bachelor party, he and his friends spent a portion of his bachelor party at SDP where his friends dresses him up in lingerie complete with veil and garter belt and did his makeup and even painted his finger nails. Bo and Scarlett photographed the whole thing and at the end did a photo shoot with him while his friends directed his poses. My husband gave me a book of the experience complete with his sexy shoot as his wedding gift to me. I was so thrilled, I had no idea he could look so pretty in pink!)
Ummm what else can I tell you… My advice to you when looking for a good photographer is don’t settle, don’t go for the best price, especially when hiring for your wedding its not something you can do again. In a few years you’ll look back and not be able to recall if it cost a little more or not but you’ll be happy your photos are so good.
Check out the photographers websites. Often photographers with nice ads have crap work on their sites so check them out. When looking at a portfolio ask to see an example of a full wedding. Its easy for any amateur to put together a few nice shots and call it a portfolio what you want to see are examples of a few full wedding so you know that the quality is consistent.
Also if you’re on a budget tell the photographers. I know with SDP they are always looking for wedding that they can use for advertising in their wedding pictorials in German magazines such as Wedding style, Hera, Braut & Hochzeit in Hamburg, or to use on there website. If you have a budget that is realistic and you do your research first. Make sure you know what you do and don’t want and how much what you Do want will cost you. I know Bo and Scarlett can be quite accommodating.
