Your wedding is an important event and you want to make sure it’s captured perfectly. Hiring a professional photographer can be expensive but there are ways to save money while still capturing the most memorable moments of your big day. This post will discuss some things to think about when choosing the best wedding photographer for you.
Consider the style of photography you want – do you want a photojournalistic style or more posed photos?
A photojournalistic style will capture natural moments, like you see in an old National Geographic magazine. This type of photography is great for capturing candid shots and telling a story about your day through pictures. A more posed shot isn’t bad either! Posed photos are often taken with the photographer instructing people where to stand or sit which helps create stunning portraits that show off how beautiful each person looked on their special day.
Both styles have pros and cons so think about what’s important to you before deciding on who to hire as your wedding photographer!
Ask friends or family members who recently had their wedding photographed if they had any recommendations! They’re experts in figuring out which photographers are great because they’ve seen them work firsthand so listen to what they say about different ones and take notes.

Be sure that the photographer is comfortable with shooting all types of events – not just weddings! It’s best to find someone who has experience working with many different styles of shoots including corporate, fashion, and family.
Figure out what you want to emphasize the most in your photos before hiring a photographer – maybe it’s capturing candid shots or taking more posed pictures! More photographers are moving away from traditional photojournalistic style for weddings so consider what’s important to you when choosing which type of photography is best for your big day.
A lot of wedding photographers offer packages that include second shooters, scenic backdrops, albums (hardcover or digital), rights release forms, onsite printing services…etc., but be sure to ask about each one individually because all these extras can add up quickly if they’re not included within the package price.
Most importantly: always have fun with this process! Hiring someone who is passionate about what they do and is easy to work with will make your photos come out better and save you stress on the day of.
