5 Brilliant Tips for Selecting Your Wedding Photographer

We believe that the two most important aspects of planing your wedding are, Your Venue & Your Photographer

While you are on the look-out for the best photographer to document your day, we would love to share with you some tips to help make the experience and process so much better!

1. Experience! First and foremost, before ANYTHING else, find a photographer experienced in weddings. Experience matters way more than the number of years they have been a photographer. Capturing a wedding and
not missing an important moment takes a lot of experience. You need to make sure that your photographer knows the in’s and out’s of how a wedding is ran and what to expect ever second of that day!

2. Research, Research, Research! During the hustle of wedding planning, steer away from simply hiring cousin Susie’s photographer or the preferred photographer of your venue. Although easy, you may risk hiring someone
that does not fit your style. Take the time to find the Photographer who not only fits your needs but, also embodies your vision. 

3. Ask the right questions! So often, we come across articles and blogs in & respectable wedding magazines that advise Brides on what questions to ask prior to hiring a Wedding Photographer(s).

Such as,  Is it okay for other people to take photos while you’re taking photos? What do you wear to a wedding? What equipment do you use?  and the big one, Why should I hire you as my wedding photographer?

All important questions sure, but these questions leave you without valuable information about who the photographer really is. Personality does matter. To ensure you love the photographer just as much as your love their portfolio, here
are a few questions to think about while you are “interviewing” wedding photographers…
