Planning a wedding - Choosing a wedding photographer


After setting the date, choose the venue and choose the perfect dress; The second biggest decision is to choose the photographer who will document the most important day of your life. The photographer is a visual storyteller who documents every detail of your day to always be a part of your family's story. I can not exaggerate how important it is to hire the right photographer.

Here are some questions to ask any photographer you interview to document your wedding day!

1. When should I book my wedding photographer? Try to book your wedding photographer at least 6 months before your wedding date.

2. What style of wedding photography are you looking for? Focus on what you love, after all, those memories will be with you forever. If you're looking for a more documentary wedding photographer - be sure to find someone who shares your vision. Whatever your style, choose a photographer who will document the complete story of your wedding day.

Do I need to meet with the photographer before booking them as my wedding photographer? It is strongly recommended that you meet with the photographer before signing the contract. The wedding photographer is with you every step of the way on your wedding day, so it is very important to make sure that you like your photographer's personality. A good photographer not only takes great pictures; but has handled a number of wedding day situations. They can be a calming force on a very hectic day Destination weddings are certainly popular, many brides and grooms flock to the Scottsdale area for the beautiful scenery and amazing weather. Much of their planning centers around the computer, making it sometimes impossible to meet the photographer until the wedding day. If you can not meet in person, make sure you have a few detailed phone calls - make sure there are no personality clashes!

4. What is to be discussed at this meeting? By looking at a photographer's website, you have a pretty good sense of who they are and what our vision is when we photograph a wedding. Meeting in person allows you to touch the work yourself, see the quality of the finished product. By meeting in person, you can see complete weddings, including proof books and real wedding albums. By looking at these topics, you will see the consistency of the photographer telling their client's wedding stories through photographs, from wedding to wedding. By looking at these samples, you will see if the photographer delivers consistent images of the day, all day or not! It is very important to ensure that a wedding photographer does not just show you his collection of greatest hits on their website - you will see more complete wedding stories - from start to finish! Make sure the sample coverage that a wedding photographer shows you is what you envision for your wedding coverage.


5. What should be discussed when I interview Miami Wedding Photographer? budget, package listings: what is included in the various packages, album prices, album selections, upgrades, additions, a la carte options. You will need to know a general timeline and provide details to the photographer to provide the most accurate quote for your wedding photography needs.

6. What must be included in the contract? The contract must reflect everything agreed during the meeting or telephone discussion, leaving no ambiguity. The contract should reflect the date of the wedding, choice of package, the logistics of the wedding day, such as where to report, how many hours are included, description of coverage and other details you would like included. The contract also reflects the deposit paid, balance due and refund / cancellation policies. The photographer must also include wording in the contract of ownership of the images. This is usually one of the more popular questions we are asked!

7. What happens between that day and the wedding day when I sign the contract and give a deposit? About a month before your wedding day, the photographer should contact you to go through the details of the day - it is important that everyone is on the same page. We prefer to meet in person, if time allows, if not, we can definitely go over these topics in a 20-30 minute phone call. The photographer should ask you to identify the key people present and comment on any special stories that may make the images more gripping to the narration of your story. We try to get as much knowledge as possible, including mirroring the wedding venue (provided it is a practical option).
