You are always welcome to reach out to us if you have any questions about hiring a professional photographer or anything related to wedding photography.<\/p>\n<p>Before you hire a professional photographer, you need to decide what you want. What are your reasons for hiring a professional photographer? Do you want to pay a professional photographer to take photographs at your wedding or event? Do you want a professional photographer to take family portraits such as baby pictures, children pictures or graduation pictures? Do you want a family portrait photograph taken of your family? These are just a few of the many reasons why people hire photographers.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever type of photo shoot you decide on, it is important to remember that not all professional photographers are created equal. That is why it is so important to do your homework before hiring a professional photographer.<\/p>\n<p>The following blog post will provide tips and helpful hints on hiring the right professional photographer for whatever photo shoot needs you may have.<\/p>\n<p>When you hire a professional photographer, you get more than just the images. You get the experience and skill of someone who has spent years mastering their craft. A professional photographer will know how to make your vision come alive in ways that you never could have imagined.<\/p>\n<p>Trying to do it yourself can often result in disappointed expectations. Think about all the other aspects of wedding planning that you delegate to professionals: catering, venue, florists, etc. Why not leave your photography to a professional as well? When you hire a professional photographer, you will be putting your trust in them to capture the most important day of your life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We take great pride in our work and we love what we do! We are committed to providing only top quality images and exceptional customer service. Our goal is to give you images that you will cherish for years and years.<\/p>\n<p>Why should you hire a professional photographer? Well, first of all you are &#8220;getting what you pay for&#8221;. We have been in this business long enough to know quite a bit about different types of photography and what each is good for.<\/p>\n<p>As we have discussed before in other articles, there are 6 types of photography: family portraits, engagement or wedding photos, senior portraits, child or baby photos, high school senior photos and professional model portfolio photos.<\/p>\n<p>And while we aren&#8217;t saying that all photographers do not know how to do everything (we certainly believe they can), the fact remains that most professional photographers specialize in one or two areas. Even our own studio specializes in family portraits, engagement and wedding photos, senior portraits and high school senior photos. That kind of specialization benefits clients like you because we know what works best for those particular kinds of pictures.<\/p>\n<p>So when you hire a professional photographer to take your pictures, you need to make sure that the photographer has experience with the type of photography you will be doing. You don&#8217;t want a model portfolio photographer taking your child&#8217;s pictures or vice versa.<\/p>\n<p>The other reason why you should hire a professional photographer is that they are insured through the Professional Photographers Association (PPA). This means that if something were to happen during<\/p>\n<p>As a professional photographer, I get asked a lot about whether photographers have rights to images they take. It is a very polarizing topic and I have met many people that say that their rights are violated on a regular basis by photographers.<\/p>\n<p>Let me start off by saying that the average person has no idea what the laws are regarding copyright, image ownership, etc. It is really my goal to help educate people on these topics and more importantly, help you learn how to protect yourself from getting into serious legal trouble by hiring sub-standard photographers or signing away your rights unknowingly.<\/p>\n<p>Troy is the owner of Troy Hill Photography. He works out of Columbus, OH but travels for weddings and destination sessions as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you need to know is that as a professional photographer, I have the right to use any images or photos I make in any way I choose. This may seem obvious but it&#8217;s not always true when dealing with non-professional photographers or people just starting out in photography. The reason being is because they do not understand their rights under copyright laws and they do not understand what it means to sign over your rights to someone else.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This blog post will go over:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What copyright is and how it applies to photography<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/98LWbeC1pEI?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kkQHGy3Odeg?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most people feel intimidated when it comes to hiring a professional photographer for their wedding.
