Looking for a wedding photographer can be a daunting task add the surplus of internet media and you could feel like quitting before you start.
So I have narrowed down the top 3 things to know when looking for a wedding photographer.
1.
Get advice- Ask your other brides or ask your friends, do you know someone who just got married? Most newly married brides are more than happy to talk about the people who made their dream wedding a reality.
She would be the best person to talk to about her experience working with the photographer, and could possibly impart some valuable advice about getting married you might not have thought of.
2.
One photographer does not fit all-Asking the advice of others and knowing who they went with is one thing, but knowing what you are looking for when it comes to wedding photography is also key.
The best photographer for you will be one that matches your style, matches your personality, and you have a great vibe with.
3.
Ask questions-Know your location and ask questions of your photographer.
For example, if you are having an indoor wedding, can your photographer handle taking pictures there? Don't just stop at one question, ask anything that comes to mind, any worry you have.
A photographer who really cares about you will take the time to really pay attention to your needs.
Go with you gut, if you have a great experience with the wedding photographer you meet, they answered all of your questions with confidences, their work matches your style, you get a good vibe with them, they match your personality then consider working with them.
If not, move on.
The last thing you want to worry about on your wedding day is drama from your wedding photographer.
4.
Understand what you will get for the price you pay- Read your contract, and ask a ton of questions.
Understand how much you are going to pay and when it is due and what you will get for that amount.
For example, many times the price you pay is good only for the photographer to show up, other times it is good for that and your album but not the pictures that go in it.
Being very clear about how far your money goes will save you a lot of head ache, heart ache, and money.
