How To Choose A Wedding Photographer
The moment you say “yes” to forever, you’re also saying “yes” to a long wedding to-do list! One of the most important decisions on that wedding day list? Choosing the right wedding photographer and/or videographer to capture your day.
Your wedding is a once in a lifetime event - something you’ve dreamed about for years. That’s why finding the perfect photographer to document it is a decision that deserves serious thought. Here are three key things to consider when making your choice:
1. Find a Style That Matches Your Vision
Every photographer and videographer has a unique creative style. The quickest way to figure out what resonates with you? Start by browsing their social media for an overview of their work. Then, dive deeper into their website and portfolio to see how their storytelling, editing, and aesthetic align with your vision. Do you love light and airy images? Or do you prefer dramatic and moody tones? Finding a style you truly love will make all the difference in how you remember your day.
2. Trust Word of Mouth
Personal recommendations can be so helpful! Ask recently married friends or family members about their wedding film experience - what they loved, what they wish they had done differently, and who they would (or wouldn’t) recommend. Online reviews can also provide valuable insight into how a photographer interacts with clients, manages timelines, and delivers the final product. Learning from others’ experiences can help you avoid wedding day regrets.
3. Confidence is Key
Once you’ve narrowed down your choices based on style and referrals, it’s time to reach out. Set up a chat - whether it’s a quick call, a coffee meet-up, or a Zoom session to discuss your vision. Pay attention to how they communicate and how confident you feel in their ability to capture your wedding day. You should feel comfortable, heard, and excited about working with them!
These three steps will set you on the right path to finding a wedding photographer and videographer that truly fits your vision. And while we’re not here to convince you to choose Boo Creative, we’re always happy to chat if you think we’d be a good fit!
