Your wedding photographer will be by your side during some of the most intimate and emotional moments of your big day—so choosing the right one is more important than many people think. Here’s how to find someone who fits your style, values, and vision.
1. Get to Know Their Style
Look beyond just beautiful photos. Do you like their use of light, the way they capture emotion, the edits? Are the images natural and candid, or more posed and editorial? Make sure their portfolio matches your vision.
2. Connect Personally
You’ll spend a lot of time with your photographer on the day. It’s essential to feel comfortable around them. A good photographer doesn’t just take great photos—they also help you feel relaxed and genuinely yourself.
3. Ask About Experience
Especially with weddings, experience matters. Ask how many weddings they’ve photographed, if they’ve worked in similar venues or settings, and how they handle tricky lighting or weather situations.
4. Understand What’s Included
From hours of coverage to photo delivery timelines, it’s important to be clear on what’s included in the package. Don’t be afraid to ask about prints, albums, or any additional costs.
5. Read the Vibe, Not Just the Reviews
Reviews are helpful, but so is your gut feeling. Did you feel heard and understood in your communication? Do they genuinely care about your day? That human connection can make all the difference.
Final Thought
The best wedding photographer for you is someone who makes you feel seen, celebrated, and completely at ease. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d love to chat.
