📸 BOOK THE PHOTOGRAPHER! 📸
You’re spending so much time, energy, and money planning the most perfect day for you and your new husband or wife. So why not make sure you hire the right photographer to capture it all?
There are SO many photographers out there, and I know it can feel overwhelming when you start looking. But do your homework! Don’t just look at one or two weddings. Look through multiple full galleries and pay attention to how they handle different situations and lighting.
Ask questions! How do they handle bright sunshine? Rain? Dark reception spaces? Unexpected challenges? A great photographer isn’t just someone who can take beautiful photos when everything goes perfectly — it’s someone who knows how to adapt when it doesn’t.
For this bride, she actually included me in the process before her wedding day. We visited the venue together around the same time of day as her wedding so I could see the lighting and surroundings. She asked for my opinion, and I was able to show her examples of my work in similar lighting.
She also included me in her rehearsal, which meant we were ALL on the same page going into the wedding day.
She trusted me and my work — and because of that, she had one less thing to stress about. ❤️
Because let’s be honest…no matter how much you plan, wedding day jitters are still going to happen! Having a photographer you trust can make such a huge difference.
And it’s not just about the photos.
You want someone who is organized, disciplined, personable, calm, and someone you genuinely get along with. You don’t have to become best friends, but you should feel that bestie vibe — someone who genuinely wants you to have the best day possible and is willing to help you achieve it.
Your photographer is going to be with you through some of the biggest moments of your wedding day. Make sure you choose someone you feel comfortable with and someone you TRUST.
Do your homework and look past the pretty pictures. Because when the day is over, the flowers will fade, the cake will be eaten, and the decorations will come down…Your photographs are what you will have to look back on to relive it all!
So yes… BOOK THE PHOTOGRAPHER! 🫶
