You put so much time and creativity into your wedding it would be a shame to miss a second! While you were catching up with a relative, maybe you missed a dance off. Everyone sat down so quick you never got to see the reception tables in all their glory. Your makeup came out flawless, but a selfie just won’t cut it. Cue in choosing your perfect photographer.
Choosing a photographer should fit your wedding style. For example, some photographers may specialize in certain venues such as barns versus ballrooms. Do some research on the style the photographer prefers on their website or wedding vendor account on WeddingWire or The Knot. There will typically be an about me section where the photographer will discuss their artistic style. They may specialize in portraits or prefer more candid images. What kind of photos are you hoping to have to remember your wedding day?

Know what product you want. Determine if you are looking for single shooter images or want multiple angles of your ceremony and reception photos. Photographers may work alone but more often have a team, so they can capture every angle. Are you also looking to have a wedding video? You can often book photographer and videographer teams that work together to give you a final product of stills and video.

Feel out your vibe! You have to trust your photographer. Having a good relationship in your initial call is important to feeling confident on your wedding day. Look over their past work to know what to expect and have questions prepared. Viewing a wedding portfolio is always key in knowing what types of shots they typically take. You want to be able to communicate with them on your wedding day. They’ll be following you around from start to finish!

Lastly, discuss how many hours you want to book your photographer for. Having images from start to finish an entire day. It’s up to you whether you want to capture those getting ready photos or schedule a first look. If you’re totally unsure where to begin, your wedding planner will have some suggestions based on photographers they have worked with and trust!
