Another important decision in the wedding planning process is selecting your photographer. It is very…very important to be careful when selecting your photographer. You only have one shot at this and you can’t go back and take your wedding pictures over again. Your wedding photos will last forever and you want to make sure that your day is captured in the best way possible. Your happiness will depend on finding someone who can capture your wedding day in a way that you want to remember it. The sentiment, intimate moments shared between you and your new spouse, and not to mention the fun shots! As a wedding planner I’ve seen it all when it comes to wedding photos…trust me! And selecting the right photographer is priceless!
Here are a few tips on selecting ‘the’ photographer for you!
Style – No two photographers are alike. Photography is an art and your photographers are artists in their own right. Make sure you do your research when selecting your photographer. Attend wedding shows, browse the internet, and ask friends and family for referrals. View different photographers portfolios to determine which style appeals to you most and that should help narrow down your search.
Pricing – If you heard this once you’ve heard it a thousand times…”You get what you pay for.” Photographers can get a little expensive, but in the long run it’s worth it. Do not get excited because you found someone that was cheap…because that’s exactly what you are going to get. Remember…these are your wedding photos and these portraits will be passed on for generations to come and don’t you want your children and grandchildren to look at your pictures and be in awe at how good you looked on that day and feel the love that you two shared!
Expertise – Make sure that your photographer is experienced and shows you his work from several weddings. Make sure that he or she has experience and knows what they are doing. Ask for referrals in you need to…remember this is your wedding day and you should be able to trust your vendors.
Compatibility - This is just as important as your photographer style. You will be spending the majority of the day with your photographer. You want to feel relaxed with them and feel comfortable enough that you can express yourself without and pressures. Another thing that you need to avoid is photographers that will talk to you up until the day of your wedding and then send someone else to photograph your day. Make sure that whoever you initially talked with and feel secure with is the one that will be taking your wedding photos.
After you’ve selected your photographer make sure that you make a list of every shot that you want and make sure that you give this information to your photographer. This will ensure that you get the special shots that you want and if you have a great photographer it will be better than you imagined!
