Your photographer should be more than just someone with a camera. đ¸
Now, let me clarify. Iâm not saying you should get your friend to photograph your wedding. đ Having someone who knows what theyâre doing, and more importantly, knows how to communicate that effectively, can make a much bigger difference in your photos than you might think.
A good photographer helps the day go by smoother and keeps things flowing. A GREAT photographer keeps you comfortable, knows how to work with different personalities, and adapts to the things that will inevitably pop up throughout the day.
And honestly, you wonât really know if your photographer is the right fit until you spend some time with them.
Thatâs one of the reasons I always recommend doing an engagement shoot before the wedding. It gives you a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera, see how your photographer works, and figure out if you actually enjoy having them around.
Because youâre going to be spending a LOT of time with them on your wedding day. You want to make sure theyâre someone you trust and feel comfortable with.
