What Is Your Style

Start pinning your favourite photographers on your Pinterest boards and follow all the best photographers on Instagram! Go through each photographer’s work and figure out what style you like. Establish what your style is with your photographer to make sure this is something they can deliver. Keep in mind that all photographers have their own style and ways of editing their photos too.

Get To Know Your Photographer & Their Work

It’s important to get that vibe and connection with your photographer as this will allow you to feel comfortable and to gain that trust. Consider your wedding guests as well. If your wedding photographer is approachable and friendly your guests will be at ease.

Work With Your Budget

Be clear with your budget with photographers and learn about their different packages and bundles in order to get the most out of your experience. Ask about any hidden extras that may come up after your wedding which may include editing and the process to create an album which might add to your costs.

All About Experience

Research, research, research.

Even if you have your heart set on your photographer, it doesn’t hurt to go beneath the surface. Choose a photographer that has already captured weddings at your reception and ceremony venues as this will give you an idea of what your wedding photos may look like. Ask questions to your photographer to see how many weddings they have previously done and how long they have been in the wedding industry for to give you more confidence with your choice.

Recommendations & Word Of Mouth

Speak to your family and friends or if you know anyone who has previously worked with your photographer. It’s all about creating a fulfilling and memorable experience so if you know people who are happy with your photographer, then chances are you will be happy too. This shouldn’t be a main factor to your choice but this could help put the final piece of the puzzle together.

There you have it Fairies, happy planning!
