Four things to consider when looking for the right photographer!
When you are searching for the perfect photographer to capture your big day, it is important to remember not all photographers offer the same service. The same way not all restaurants offer the same menu, pricing or experience.
It’s important to never assume you will receive the same deliverables/service with one photographer just because that was your experience with another photographer.
Here are 4 important things to consider when you are looking the right photographer for your wedding:
Most importantly, have a face-to-face consultation with your photographer. If you can actually meet in person, do it! The energy and vibe you gauge from an in-person meeting with the photographer is way more impactful than any other way.
At the end of the day, vibing well with your photographer is hands down the most important thing you need to consider. You are spending an entire day that is full of emotions with this person so it is so important that you have trust and comfort with them.
If the comfort level is not right then it will shine through in the photos. It won’t matter how great the photographer is technically because you will look at those images and remember how you felt.
OPEN COMMUNICATION
If there is something you need more clarification on, don’t hesitate to ask! You are seeking a professional photographer for their guidance and expertise so any and all questions should be welcomed and there should be an assurance from the client and photographer that the question has been clarified.
DO YOU LIKE THEIR STYLE?
Do you actually envision yourself in that style of photography? What is the feel you want to portray for your big day? If you are inquiring with a photographer that has an edgy and dramatic style of photography but you keep showing them examples of light and airy photography asking if they can do that for you, that should be a sign from the get-go it may not be the right fit.
