The Top Three Ways to Find a Wedding Photographer
Arguably, quality wedding photos are one of the most important parts of planning the perfect wedding day. Who doesn’t want the best quality photos to look back on for years to come?
Obviously, creating the best wedding photos and best memories start by hiring a quality wedding photographer. We sat down with Shutterturf to discuss the top three ways an average bride can find a wedding photographer for her big day.
Here’s what Shutterturf had to say:
#1 Know Your Style and Do Your Research. You can save yourself a lot of time and headache if you know exactly what you are looking for in a photographer and your wedding photos. Specifically, do you know the style of the wedding photos that you are trying to achieve? Do you prefer vintage-style photos? Or are you looking for modern, bright photos? Whatever your preference, it’s important that you seek out photographers who specialize in the type of photography that you are looking for. Once you’ve found a handful of photographers that you are looking for, you should set up personal interviews to discuss your expectations with each photographer, ask questions, review their portfolio, and review a sample contract from them.
#2 Ask for Recommendations. If you have friends who were recently married or know someone who was recently married, don’t be shy about asking for recommendations. This is especially true if you like their photos. If you don’t have anyone who has recently gotten married in your circle, look on social media for recommendations. Often photographers will post samples of their work on their Facebook page or Instagram Feed. To get a better idea of the photographer’s work, you can follow the link to their website to review their galleries and get additional information on how to book an interview/meeting with them.
#3 Explore Photographers on a Photography Marketplace. No matter where you are located, there is surely a wedding photography marketplace curated for your market. Photography marketplaces like Shutterturf understand that photography is more than just a skill or talent; it’s a passion that needs constant fulfillment. According to Shutterturf, “Your wedding day is one of the most precious days of your life, making it even more important to capture every iconic memory in action.⠀
Professional photographers can spot opportunities for brilliant shots, translating the emotions of a wedding day into their photography. They also make everybody feel comfortable and confident as they carry out their photoshoot, whether it’s of the bride and groom, the family, or every guest.”
As such, if you’re looking for a great photographer for your wedding day, don’t be afraid to explore a photography marketplace to locate a professional photographer in your area. Reading honest reviews from past clients will give you an idea of whether certain photographers would be a good fit for your wedding day.
