What should you pay attention to when choosing a wedding photographer?

Congratulations! You're getting married and are likely busy planning the big day. One of the most important decisions you'll make is choosing the right wedding photographer. After all, this person will capture your special moments so you can look back on them with joy for years to come. But what should you consider when choosing a wedding photographer?

Here are some tips from my experience as a wedding photographer.

Colors Tell a Story

As The Wedding Photographer, I know how crucial colors are in a photo. Pay close attention to whether the colors in the photographer's portfolio appeal to you. Are the colors natural and vibrant? For example, look at the green of the grass; overly bright green can distract from the bridal attire and often looks cheap. Choose a photographer with an eye for color harmony so that you shine in every photo.

Details Make the Difference

A good wedding photographer pays attention to details. Examine the backgrounds of the photos. Are distracting elements such as fans, exit signs, or other imperfections neatly removed? A photographer who focuses on these details delivers high-quality photos where you are the focal point. And let's not forget that a slightly blurry background makes the bride and groom really stand out!

Straight is Neat

A funny but serious tip: make sure the photos are straight! It may seem simple, but crooked photos look unprofessional and cheap, and I see it happen all too often!

Click with the Photographer

Last but not least: don't forget to look at the whole picture. Look beyond just the photos. Who is the person behind the camera? Visit the photographer's website and pay attention to the appearance, colors, presentation, and so on. Your wedding photographer will be with you all day, so it's essential to have a connection! If you're not drawn to his or her photo, take a look elsewhere. A good relationship with the photographer ensures that you appear relaxed and natural in the photos!

Bonus Tip: Check Google Reviews

A crucial step in choosing your wedding photographer is checking Google reviews. Don't rely solely on the reviews on the photographer's website. Google reviews often provide a more honest picture because they come from real couples sharing their experiences.

This independent platform gives a more objective view of the quality of the photographer's services. Take the time to read the reviews and understand what others appreciated about the photographer's work.
