Hiring a wedding photographer can be a daunting task, with literally hundreds of choices in some cities. So how do you know which one is the right one for you? Hiring the right photographer for your wedding is a blend of photographic style, budget, and personality. I certainly hope that you will consider PictureME Studios to tell the story of your wedding day; but even if I we are not the photographer for you, we want to pass on a few tips to help you in your search.
1: Book Early! Wedding photographers are often booked a year or more in advance. Book your photographer as soon as you have locked in your venue and your date, especially if you are getting married during a prime month like June.
2: Pay attention to the photographer’s style. Look for a photographer who captures real moments, not just stylized portraits.
3: Ask how a specific photo that you love in their portfolio was taken. Listening to a photographer talk about how an amazing image was created is a great way to get an understanding on how they work.
4: Ask to see a whole wedding. Its only natural for us photographers to only show the best of the best in our portfolios. But to ensure the photographer covers a wedding in a way that appeals to you; ask to see an entire set.
5: Hire a professional. According to a survey by New York Magazine1, the number one thing brides wished they had spent more on is photography. Don’t risk the memories of your wedding day with someone who may or may not have the proper experience, equipment, or business practices in place.
