Introduction
Congrats on your upcoming wedding! I feel, planning a wedding is very exciting, isn’t it? It’s a once-in-a-lifetime moment and you have to take care of many different things. Among all the decisions you will make to finalize the different vendors for the different aspects of your wedding, choosing the right photographer is one of the most important decisions. Everything will fade but the photos and videos will stay with the generations to come. Hence finding an experienced team is very, very important. Today we will help you to understand the different aspects of wedding photography so that it would be easy for you to make the right decision.
Why does wedding photography matter?
Think about it – your smiles, the happy tears, the little glances you share. Imagine your friends saying – SO BEAUTIFUL, SO ELEGANT, JUST LOOKING LIKE WOW….. You want these moments to freeze forever. That’s where a great photography team comes into the picture. They will help you freeze those moments and relive them repeatedly. It’s the story you want to keep not just for you but also for the future generations to come.
Understanding different styles of photography
Before you come to a decision, let’s understand the different styles of photography:
– Traditional
If you want a formal style of photography, it’s a go-to style for you. It is all about timeless and posed shots – like family portraits and iconic couple portraits.
– Photojournalistic
It’s all about candid and natural moments, capturing genuine emotions and spontaneous events as they unfold. It’s for those who want something pure without the photography team’s instruction.
– Editorial
Artistic and creative composition with dramatic lighting, where poses are carefully planned like fashion photography. To make it simple, if you want a stylish and magazine-like representation of your wedding photos, look towards editorial.
Setting Your Budget
Your wedding photos are an investment in your memories. The more you invest, the better the quality you get. Quality usually comes at a price. But yes, it’s important to decide how much you’re comfortable spending. We customize the package according to your requirements. Feel free to contact us
Now that you know what you are looking for, it’s time to research further. Most popular photographers have their websites showcasing their best works, their payment terms, their delivery timelines, and many more. Spare some time and visit these websites. Do the photos and videos make you feel something? Are you convinced with the procedure of their work? If yes, then check the photographer‘s presence on Instagram. Nowadays, Instagram has become the second website of photographers. We update our Instagram with our latest works. Don’t be shy about reaching out with questions!
What to look for in a Photographer’s profile
– Consistency in shooting, editing style with quality
– How they capture emotions and interactions
– How creative they are with lights and colors
– The variety in their shots
– Do they use the latest technology to make the experience worth remembering
Once you are satisfied with these things, try to meet in their office and ask a few questions like their photography style, things included in the package, backup plan in case of emergency, delivery timeline, and many more. The meeting will help you to identify their communication, behavior, and professionalism. It’s crucial that you feel comfortable around them.
Once you have found your perfect match, it’s time to make it official. But before that pay attention to a few crucial things:
– Cancellation Policy
– Payment schedule
– Delivery timeline
– Hidden charges
Now that you have booked your desired team, prepare yourself for the wedding day. Provide a list of must-have photos, and let your photographer know about any special moments or surprises. Introduce the photography team to your family members. Share your wedding day timeline with them and discuss any sensitive family situations that everyone should be aware of.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
