PHOTO BY | LIGHTER FOCUS PHOTOGRAPHY
Choosing a wedding photographer is a highly personal decision . It ' s important for you to consider your style of photography and find a photographer whose work resonates with you . When choosing a photographer , take the time to review their portfolio , browse through their previous wedding albums and assess if their style aligns with your vision for capturing your wedding day .
Meeting the photographer in person or having a consultation can help gauge your comfort level and rapport with them . Feeling at ease in front of the camera is huge for capturing natural and relaxed photos , so choosing someone you connect with personally can really make a significant difference .
We have defined the basic styles of wedding photography , but photographers often develop their own unique aesthetic over time , incorporating multiple styles and techniques into their work . While they may have a predominant style or approach , it ' s common for photographers to have a versatile portfolio that showcases a range of styles and techniques . Don ' t limit your expectations based solely on a single style description . Look for photographers who demonstrate creativity , artistic vision , and have a keen eye for capturing meaningful moments and consistent bodies of work .
Keep in mind that wedding photography is an investment in preserving your memories for a lifetime . While price is a factor , it ' s equally important to prioritize finding a photographer whose style and artistry align with your preferences . Remember , there are no do-overs for your wedding day , so finding the right photographer who can capture it in a way that resonates with you is key .
