This is my first post on malaysiabrides.com, please advice if i am violating any rules here. Thx ;) The next BIG decision after you said YES! I believe there are many experienced ppl here to advice on Bridal Studios..but I havent seen any guides regarding Freelance Wedding Photography..not sure if I missed them Anyway..heres a small guide for you brides to be {hope this is helpful} I shall start with the CONS... Bridal Gown Headache - As most of the freelancers do not provide bridal gown rental...although many are starting to have them as a part of their service No Studio - enough said.. Confidence - same goes to BS...not sure if they live up to your expectation Costumes - No traditional costumes to choose from I couldnt think of any other CONS {at the moment}...so I'll just proceed with PROS... Highly customizable - Good freelancers are willing to customize the shoot to your needs.. Flexibility - Time frame Pricing - Ranges from 1k to >10k ...Please note that some of them do overcharge.. Look at their portfolio and see what they are worth Ideas - Good freelancers are more than happy to create new ideas with clients... Location - Wider choice of locations..your secret or special location.. Surprises - in a good way that is.. a good freelancer always adds a personal touch to each & every client to make them special Please note that I do not intend to criticize Bridal Studios and I would like to deeply apologize if I hurt anyone in the process...I just want to share my thoughts and give some heads-up to all bride/groom-to-be... Any debates or approvals are most welcomed. Let me know if you need finer details on how to choose a good freelance photographer... p/s: All information are for reference purpose only...no advertisement intended Cheers!
