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.
