How to Choose the Best
Wedding Photographer
Wedding photographers are slightly different from other wedding vendors.
Unlike the professionals who are providing music, flowers or the cake, the
photographer for your wedding only really has samples of past photos to
show you. You can actually hear or taste what the photographer has to
offer, and you won’t really have a clear idea of how the photographer works
until after you see a few pictures you like. This is why it’s important to be as
selective as possible when you’re looking for the photographer who will
capture the memories of one of the most important events of your life. The
tips you’ll find in these chapters can help you select a photographer that will
make your wedding day especially memorable.
Select a Photography Style
Before you start researching the best wedding photographers in your
area, decide which style you want your photos to be. This will make it
easier for you to narrow down your choices. You can look at some
pictures you and your future spouse have taken before to get
inspiration. Or, you can consider your favorite historic eras or movie/
television characters. It’s also helpful to focus on items that you love,
such as cars or flowers. These items can be included in your wedding
photos to create an original and artistic theme.
Consider whether you want vivid colors for your photos or if you’d rather
have an antique finish or black and white photos. You can even look at
a few pictures of yourself from years past and arrange a photo shoot
where you and your future spouse dress in the fashions that were
popular when you started dating.
