Blog

When it comes to your big day, there are a lot of things to consider and to plan for. You have to select a venue, hire caterers, choose decorations, and much more. When it comes to choosing a wedding photographer, it's easy to simply choose a photographer and then not give it much additional thought. However, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind to get the wedding photos that you want. Here are three tips for great wedding photos. 

Choose Your Photographer Carefully

When it comes to picking out a photographer, simply picking one that takes good photos is not enough. You want to choose a photographer with a style that suits your vision. There are a variety of styles of wedding photography. Some photographers specialize in romantic or vintage style wedding photography, while others may opt for a more modern look. It's important to look at multiple photographers and examples of their work. Looking into multiple photographers will ensure that you are able to find one that will produce the style of wedding photos that you desire.

Communicate with Your Photographer

While the hardest part may be over now that you've chosen your wedding photographer, there are still plenty of things to work through. Communicating with your wedding photographer is essential. You want to make sure that you are on the same page when it comes to your wedding photos. It's important to discuss how long you will need the photographer's services, whether you want him or her to photograph other events (such as the rehearsal dinner), and many other details. Two more things to discuss are publication rights and how long it will take to get the photos.

Budget

Another thing to consider when it comes to your wedding photos is your budget. The average cost of a wedding photographer is between $2,095 and $2,556. Costs can vary depending on how many hours you will need the photographer to work and whether an additional photographer needs to be hired. You must also factor in the cost of travel and accommodations for your wedding photographer. Other additional costs may include customized wedding albums, prints of your wedding photos, and retouching costs. It's important to leave enough room in your wedding budget to get the photos you want.

When it comes to your wedding day, your wedding photos are very important. In order to get the best photos possible, it's important to choose your photographer carefully. You want a photographer who takes the style of photos that you are looking for. Communication is also key when it comes to getting the photos that you desire. You will also want to leave enough room in the budget for your wedding photos.

Good Photos Preserve Great Memories

When I was a child, it seemed like my parents never stopped taking photos of me and my brothers. I actually began to hide every time they got the camera out. When I moved out on my own, I vowed to never own a camera. I ended up purchasing a cell phone that had one, and after playing around with it a little, I learned how much fun it was to take photos! I loved it so much I went to school to learn how to be a professional photographer, and I enjoy every minute of my job. Just the other day, I took a look at all of my family's old photos and, I have to admit, I am so glad my parents took them! I have a little spare time to fill, so I decided to start a blog to share my photography tips! Come back often!
