3 Tips for Choosing Your Wedding Photographer
The number one wedding tip we receive is this: Don’t skimp on your wedding photography. After all, pictures of your special day are the only thing that will last, besides your memories. With this in mind, it can be pretty difficult to decide who’s going to take the role of capturing your wedding day. Let’s go over a few tips to keep in mind when choosing your wedding photographer.
Price
I know, we’re starting off with a tough subject. But when it comes down to it, price is a huge factor in choosing a photographer. Quality photos are expensive these days, and it can be hard to find a budget friendly photographer. The first thing is to ask yourself a few questions. How much do I care about having quality photos? Am I willing to move my budget for a photographer out of my price range? The price you pay should feel like a worthy investment. If you feel that you are overpaying, find someone else. There are a ton of options out there!
Style
Many photographers have a distinct editing style. Reflect on what kind of wedding you are dreaming of. A summer barn wedding would complement warm cheerful photos. Maybe you’re going for a classic wedding. You might be looking for a photographer that has great black and white photos. Prioritize a style that you love, and feels right for you and yours.
Timeline
Lastly, don’t forget to consider the timeline of your special day. Most photographers offer different services, so consider the rhythm of the day. If you’re wanting a morning wedding, you will need a photographer that offers that service. If you’re having a small elopement, you probably won’t need eight hours of footage. Think about the moments that need to be captured - then search for a photography who can be there for all of them!
We hope this helped you narrow down your wedding photographer. Just have fun, and don’t stress over it! If you need recommendations, reach out to us at The Manor at 12 Oaks Farm.
