3 Secrets to Avoid Bad Wedding Photography

Hiring the right vendors for your wedding is a top essential to ALL brides and grooms.

Would you agree?

We wouldn't want someone we don't like and trust at your wedding, right?

For that reason, in this blog we are going to give you the 3 Secrets to Avoid Bad Wedding Photography.

And read until the end because we are going to give you a super bonus tip!

Tip #1: Hire a Photographer who has Experience.

Wedding photography can be a tricky thing! There is a lot that goes on and a lot for photographer to work with.

By having an experienced photographer you are ensuring that you have someone on your team that knows all the ins and outs of weddings. They have become subconsciously competent and can help you navigate through all the chaos.

Personally, I have 20 years of working weddings as a photographer. And if you don't have an experienced photographer that is dialed in with you, your guest and wedding party, and how the flow of wedding is supposed to run, then you could be setting yourself up for failure.

So remember to invest in a Photographer who has a great deal of experience and knows the playing field of weddings.

Tip #2: Treat hiring a wedding photographer like an investment.

Relating to point one, if you want to hire a top notch photographer who has an incredible amount of experience it is going to cost you some money.

A very good photographer will run $3,000 on the very low end and up to $10,000 on the high end.

So treat this like an investment.

Because you will ensure that someone is on your team who can perform under all the stress and chaos and capture brilliant photography.

Tip #3: Invest in a Photographer that you vibe well with.

A wedding is a gathering where you are surrounded by the ones that you love and support, and they in return love and support you just as much, isn't it?

So when it comes to your photographer, remember that you are going to spend the most amount of time with them during your big day.

And what a bad way to spend it if you don't even feel like they are a true friend and are there to serve you, right?

For that reason, use your intuition to ensure that you feel strongly about them, that you feel that they are are true companion, and that they truly care about you.

It could be the most important tip of all!!

When we work with our brides and grooms, the one thing we ensure before we agree to work with someone is that our energies connect well.

Because we believe in working with couples that we feel an authentic connection of friendship.

If you feel the same way then let's start the connection and see if there is a good fit between us.

And as a BONUS TIP

Hire your possible photographer for an engagement session as a trial run before you make a full commitment.

This ensures you end up making a final decision that is based on experience of working together, not just blind faith.

I look forward to chatting with you!
