How to find the right photographer for you

#1)- Find a photographer whose images you find yourself in,

Do the photos move you?

Do you love their style of shooting?

Do you like their lighting style?

The photographs of your wedding day will become works of ART for your walls .

You deserve to have an experienced professional photographer , taking care of the details without causing you all the stress.

#2)The first thing to look for when hiring a photographer is quality & value , not the cheapest price.

As with most things in life, “You Get What You Pay For.”

There are NO “second chances” to do re-takes , so it’s very important to find the right photographer who you can trust!

Experience & knowledge can be the difference on how smooth your day runs.

You can lean on a experienced photographer when it comes to making your wedding day timeline because they know how to get you

the best photos in the best light and also keep you from feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or tired through-out the day.

A experience photographer knows how to handle all the kinds of unexpected circumstances that come up.

If your photographer doesn’t have experience shooting weddings, they’re more likely to become flustered by the fast paced world of shooting a wedding

and the quick timeline and crowd of people they have to deal with

#3)You don’t have to hire the most expensive photographer, but don’t just go for the “cheapest” photographer either.

Ask a few photographers to send you their prices and then compare them to see which packages offer the most “bang” for your buck.

Here’s a little food for thought for you: would you trust your brother’s friend to fix your engine if he isn’t a mechanic, but has a nice tool set?

Camera’s take photos, a pro photographer will create the photo.

Invest in a wedding photographer you trust, not only to nail every moment, but to be prepared, responsible, and professional – because it’s worth it!

#4)What is included in the package price.

Many times a price which looks higher actually turns out to be a better value in the long run,

because it includes more hours of coverage, mileage fees and more enlargements.

Wording can also be deceptive.

A free engagement session to one photographer can mean

-a free sitting but you have to pay for the edited images,

-or to the next photographer it could mean, both the sitting and edited images are free

Ask questions- make sure you know what your getting

#5)Ask them if the wedding is running late what is their policy. This is not uncommon, as weddings do tend to run late.

Most photographers charge overtime.

You may have to pay the them extra for the additional time, but it’s nice to know that the photographer would be there, if you need them.

#6)Do you like the photographers personality, someone you click with, some one that inspires you!

Do you feel a ease with them? Trust them?

When you envision your wedding, you probably picture yourself spending time with family, friends, and your partner.

But, there’s one person you actually spend more time with than anyone else on the big day: your photographer.

Talk with them. Get a feel of who they are.

Your going to be spending one of the most important days of your life with her or him.

Your wedding day will be recorded through their eyes.

#7)Do you see fun images on their website?

Did they ask you your thoughts on the style of images that you both like and want

Having fun with your photographer will produce some of those amazing moments!

How unique will your wedding photos be?

$8)Talent and Creativity is Important.

Look at the photographers style, ask to view a whole wedding album. Is that what you want your wedding photos to look like?

#9) Book your wedding photographer early

The best ones are hard to get and may have bookings over a year in advance.

It’s the one thing you don’t want left to chance!

Book asp as soon as you get your venue booked

Trusting your photographer’s advice means giving them the space to be an artist.

Your photographer wants to create unique images like you’ve seen in their portfolio of you, but you need to trust them to let them guide the day to make their vision happen.

Why Your Wedding Photographer Isn’t Just Another Vendor

-As you start your wedding planning, you may have wondered why certain vendors charge what they do and why they’re worth investing in.

-When it comes to your wedding photographer, their value has to do with so much more than a gallery of photos you receive 3 to 5 weeks after the wedding. Before hiring someone to photograph your wedding, keep these reasons in mind to help you invest in a photographer and experience that’s more than just another vendor.

-There’s one person you’ll actually spend more time with than anyone else on the wedding day: your photographer.

-Your wedding photographer is with you every step of the way, capturing moments as they pass you in a whirlwind of joy.

-When you start searching wedding photographers, keep in mind that liking them as a person is just as important as liking their work. Besides your wedding day, you actually spend more time before and after the wedding with your photographer than any other vendor when you think about your engagement session and photo delivery!

-Does the photographer makes you laugh, makes you feel comfortable, and inspire you?

-Trust in your wedding photographer goes beyond knowing they’ll show up on time and deliver your photos according to their contract. It’s so important that you also trust in their process.

They’re going to capture the real, unscripted moments that are unique to you and your Wedding.-In addition to playing the role of the person who takes your wedding photos, your photographer can also be your biggest advocate throughout the wedding process. They’ll create your wedding day timeline because they know how to get you the best photos in the best light and also keep you from feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or tired in the process.

You don’t want to feel “over it” on your wedding day, and neither does your photographer — that doesn’t make for very good photos! Ultimately, listening to your photographer’s advice only makes the day go more smoothly.

-Trusting your photographer’s process means giving them the space to be an artist. Your photographer wants to create the sort of images seen in their portfolio of you, but they need for you to let them guide the session to make their vision happen.

Despite the timeline crunch they’re going to create some freakin’ magical art on the spot.

Photographers create because they are doing so in the moment, capturing moments in time and making them art!

-No matter how much you spend on flowers, food, or fabulous reception chairs, the one thing you get to keep is your photos.

– When you look through your wedding images, whether album or a digital gallery you’ve shared on Facebook, you’ll remember it all…the songs that played while you danced for the first time, the look your bridesmaids gave you when they saw you in your dress for the first time, the tears in your partner’s eyes (and yours too!) as they spoke their vows aloud at the altar.-

Your wedding photographer is able to give you something that your other vendors can’t, and that’s ultimately why investing in someone whose work you believe in and love…who has earned your trust is totally worth it.
