FINDING YOUR
Wedding Photographer
TEN KEY FACTORS....
Choosing a wedding photographer is an important decision, as the photos will capture the memories of your special day. Here are TEN key factors to consider when selecting a wedding photographer:

ONE: Style: Review the photographer's portfolio to ensure their style aligns with your preferences. Some photographers specialize in traditional, posed shots, while others focus on a more candid or photojournalistic approach. Choose a style that resonates with you and your partner.
TWO: Experience: Look for a photographer with experience in wedding photography. Experienced photographers are better equipped to handle various situations, such as different lighting conditions, challenging venues, and unexpected moments.
THREE: Portfolio and Samples: Ask to see a complete wedding album or a set of photos from a full wedding they've covered. This will give you a more comprehensive view of their work and consistency in capturing different moments throughout the day.
FOUR: Reviews and Recommendations: Check online reviews and ask for recommendations from friends, family, or other vendors in the wedding industry. Positive reviews and testimonials can provide insight into the photographer's professionalism, reliability, and the overall satisfaction of their clients.
FIVE: Personality and Compatibility: It's essential to feel comfortable with your photographer since they'll be with you throughout the day. Meet with them in person or via video call to ensure that your personalities mesh well and that they understand your vision for the wedding.
SIX: Packages and Pricing: Understand the photographer's pricing structure and what is included in their packages. Make sure there are no hidden costs. Consider your budget and find a photographer who offers good value for the services they provide.




SEVEN: Availability: Check the photographer's availability on your wedding date. Popular photographers may book up quickly, so it's essential to secure their services well in advance.
EIGHT: Equipment and Backup Plans: Inquire about the equipment they use and whether they have backup plans for unforeseen circumstances. A professional photographer should have high-quality gear and be prepared for any unexpected situations, such as equipment malfunctions or weather changes.
NINE: Contracts and Agreements: Ensure there is a clear and detailed contract outlining the services, deliverables, timelines, and any other important terms. This helps protect both you and the photographer and ensures everyone is on the same page.
TEN: Communication: Choose a photographer who is responsive to your inquiries and communicates effectively. Good communication is crucial for coordinating details and ensuring that everyone is on the same page leading up to the wedding day.

Hey there! Eva here (:
In case you're wondering, I've been a photographer since 2020 and adore my job!
When I am not behind my camera I am mom to two little boys and wife to my super amazing husband. I make a point to go to the gym in the mornings and generally start my day with water, a homemade latte and a homemade vitamin packed smoothie; three drinks at a time is a normal ADHD thing lol
