How to Not Hire the Wrong Wedding Photographer
HOW TO NOT HIRE THE WRONG WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
3 QUESTIONS YOU NEED TO ASK BEFORE YOU HIRE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
You cannot underestimate the worth of an experienced professional at a wedding. A photographer must possess the ability to foresee and capture moments before they occur, adapt quickly, assist in planning the timeline for the day, and overcome any challenges posed by lighting or weather conditions.
With that in mind, here are a few questions to consider asking the photographer you’re looking to hire:
HAVE YOU EVER DONE A WEDDING LIKE MINE?
It doesn't matter whether or not the photographer your looking at has previously photographed a wedding at your venue. The changing light and circumstantial situations make that factor relatively irrelevant for an experienced photographer.
However, it is crucial for them to have experience in your specific type of wedding, whether it's religious, traditional, contemporary, micro, or any other style.
This ensures that they know which shots to capture and makes a significant difference in their ability to deliver the desired results.
And if they don’t have experience with your kind of wedding but you love their work, ask for a discount!
WHAT DO YOU DO
Challenge the photographer's quick thinking by suggesting a wild scenario that could occur on your wedding day, and see if they can capture the unexpected!"
Example: My dad is grumpy and has a short temper, what do you if he gives you a hard time?
WEDDING DAY SHOT LISTS
Your photographer should have a discussion with you prior to the wedding to determine the specific family shots you desire. They can also offer suggestions based on your family members and the available time for photography. It is important that this responsibility does not fall on you on the day of your wedding.
In fact, we make it a point to thoroughly address this with all our brides and grooms well in advance of the wedding day.
