What to Consider Before Selecting a Wedding Photographer
How do you choose?
You’re searching for wedding photos as joyful as the day they asked you to marry them and as soft as a tenderly whispered: “I love you.” But in a world filled with wedding photographers, how do you choose? How do you trust someone to capture the most important day of your life?
This is so much more than clicking a button. Anyone can hold a camera and take a picture; everyone has a smartphone. But the difference between an amateur and a professional photographer is in the experience they deliver on your wedding day and every interaction leading up to and beyond your wedding day.
Here are some questions that can help you determine if a wedding photographer (or any professional) is right for you:
Is their communication fast and reliable?
Do they care about my vision?
Do they care about my experience?
Do our personalities mesh well together?
Are they organized? (Email communication, billing, online presence, galleries)
Do they set boundaries within their business so they can be full of abundance and able to give to me on my wedding day?
How do they ensure my images are safe after my engagement session and wedding day?
Do they have insurance in case a disaster happens?
Let me repeat: this is not just someone to click the shutter on your wedding day.
Instead, you are selecting someone to create masterful art pieces with raw emotions and captivating details of your vision, your family, your friends, and you.
This person will be with you from the moment you send the inquiry form to beyond your wedding day, and honestly, you will spend more time with this person than your future spouse. So take the time to hop on a call and make sure you are okay with this personality being there when your mom buttons your gown when your dad wipes a tear away from your cheek before the ceremony, and when you see your spouse for the first time.
Did you know that, with the right photographer, beautiful photos aren’t the only thing you’ll receive? You can have an effortless, stress-melting experience, too!
