Choosing Your Wedding Photographer

The most important thing to consider when choosing a wedding photographer
The first and most important factor to consider when couples choose a photographer to cover their special day should never be price rather choose a photographer that has pictures in their portfolio that capture the way you would like to remember your wedding.
For example do you want a photographer that will make a straight forward record of the day or a photographer that will capture the romance and bond between you and your partner? Or what about all the detail touches you have slaved over for months? These things can easily be overlooked.

Additionally though, try not to shop on price! When budgets are tight it’s easy to look at the pound signs before the work/talent/ability itself. Try to research photographers that tick the boxes visually and then narrow down to what fits your budget.

Get to Know your photographer before the big day, Chemistry is important

Ola Baker is a great believer in working with a photographer whose chemistry work with the couple. Personality clash could be a huge problem therefore couples need to ensure this factor is considered as well.

I personally suggest a pre- wedding studio shoot as part of my services, this gives us an opportunity to get to work together prior to the big day and that way a lot of barriers are broken down before the big day.

In some cases when pre-wedding studio shoots isn’t part of a photographers package, a great time to spend with your photographer pre-wedding is at the venue. You can show them round and point out all the things you love about the place so that they can capture it from your perspective on the day! For me, getting to know my clients a bit prior to the wedding is important because I don’t like to rattle out the same routine. Every wedding is unique and capturing it should reflect the couple in question.”
