How to Pick a Wedding Photographer with Confidence
Choosing a wedding photographer can be a stressful part of planning your wedding, but it doesn’t have to be! This season is so exciting. You’re about to marry the love of your life, and you want your love beautifully captured. Let’s break down how to pick a wedding photographer that’s right for you so you can have peace and confidence in your decision!
How to Pick a Wedding Photographer That Matches Your Style
My biggest tip for confidently choosing your photographer is to decide what photography style you like. Is your style elegant and high-end? Do you like editorial or documentary shots? Light and airy or dark and moody editing? Do you want film photos too? You can read more about different photography styles here. As a luxury wedding photographer, I capture images that reflect the true essence of each moment, preserving natural colors and atmosphere without heavy filters. This timeless approach allows genuine emotion and authenticity to shine through. If this sounds exactly what you’re looking for, check out my portfolio here! Once you decide what photography style you envision, it can help narrow down your search.
Take a Look at Photography Packages
When checking out potential wedding photographers, be sure to see what’s included in their packages. You want a package that’s both valuable and within your budget. My wedding day package includes full-day coverage, an engagement session, 72-hour sneak peaks, and so much more (pretty valuable if you ask me!). I also have wedding weekends and elopement packages. You can view all the details and pricing here! Having an idea of what you’re looking for and the coverage you need is an essential part of making a confident decision.
What to Look for in a Portfolio
I encourage you to go beyond a quick Instagram scroll. Check out their website and browse full wedding days. It can be tempting to choose a photographer based on some gorgeous couples shots, but you need to see what a full day captured looks like. On my blog, I have several wedding days to give couples a complete idea of what to expect, from getting ready in the morning, all the way until send-off! Take your time during this process. See if you like how the variety of moments throughout the day is captured and if you like their photography style, as I mentioned before!
Choose Someone You Connect With
While you’re browsing their website, check out their about page to learn more about them. Do you like their personality? Do they share the same values as you? Your wedding day is so important, so it’s essential you choose someone who truly cares about their couples! Also, working with someone who feels like a friend makes you feel more comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
