Cornish Maine Wedding Photographer // Why It's Important To Me To Have A 100% Authentic Portfolio
As a wedding photographer, my portfolio is the most important tool I have to showcase my work and attract new clients. While some photographers choose to include styled shoots in their portfolio, I have made the decision to only showcase real weddings. There are several reasons why this is important to me.
Firstly, real weddings are a true reflection of my skills as a photographer. When I'm shooting a real wedding, I'm dealing with real people, real emotions, and real challenges. I have to work with the lighting conditions, the weather, and the timeline of the day to capture beautiful and meaningful photographs. This real-world experience is what allows me to consistently deliver high-quality photographs to my clients.
Secondly, real weddings allow potential clients to see what they can expect from me on their own wedding day. When a couple is browsing my portfolio, they want to see what their own wedding photographs might look like. By showcasing only real weddings, I'm giving them a true representation of my style, my approach, and my ability to capture their own unique love story.
Thirdly, real weddings are simply more authentic. When couples are looking for a wedding photographer, they want someone who can capture their true personalities and emotions. Styled shoots can be beautiful, but they lack the authenticity and real-world experience that comes from working with real couples, not models. Real weddings are full of real emotions, real connections, and real love stories.
Lastly, by only showcasing real weddings in my portfolio, I'm able to build stronger relationships with my clients. When a couple hires me to photograph their wedding, they're not just hiring me for my technical skills. They're hiring me because they trust me to capture their love story in a beautiful and meaningful way. By showcasing only real weddings, I'm able to build that trust and connection with my clients from the very beginning.
In conclusion, as a wedding photographer, it's important to me to only showcase real weddings in my portfolio. Real weddings allow me to showcase my skills, give potential clients a true representation of what they can expect, capture authentic emotions and love stories, and build stronger relationships with my clients. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who prioritizes real weddings over styled shoots, I'm the right photographer for you.
