Choosing the right photographer for your wedding is vital. These are the images that are going to last forever. Everything else will fade over time, your memory of the wedding details, the things that went sideways, that cake that slid off its pillars, but the images! Those images are forever. So, here’s what the experts say on how to choose wisely.
Choose Wisely
You need to hire a pro. Do not use a friend who has a nice camera. Wedding photos take a talented photographer with years of experience. It you scrimp on photography in the budget, you will certainly regret it.
Photography Styles
It’s best if you educate yourself before you shop, so you know what to look for in the photographers’ samples. Then it’ll be easier to get the perfect person who shoots images the way you like them done. So, spend an hour or two researching wedding photography styles.
You Need to Like the Person
If you really like your photographer as a person, it will make all the difference in your wedding photos! What you are thinking and feeling at the time the camera clicks is going to be captured. Thinking the person behind the camera is an annoying creep isn’t what you want captured on film!

Don’t make the mistake of limiting the sample to only their best work from a lot of weddings. Have them also show you the full set of images from one wedding. You want to browse them all.
