7 key tips for choosing your ideal wedding photographer

In this article we come to the part that touches us closely, wiiiii! If this is the first time you visit our website, we take advantage and tell you that we are las vegas elopement photographer and we also work in different parts of the world.

Although there are some couples who start the search and organization of the wedding choosing the photographer and videographer before anything else, the most common thing is that when deciding who is going to record everything in photo and video, you already have chosen the room, the place of the ceremony, and several more details that you surely chose with great discretion and dedication.

We know that any information we can provide on this subject is "not very objective", but we really have plenty of samples and anecdotes that this is so: what they will be hiring in this area is not going to be a service, but they will be MEMORIES ... It is something that will accompany them forever, like a kind of tattoo ... and we all know that nobody chooses a tattoo like that, right?

# 1 Check out the different wedding photo STYLES
Photography (and video) like all "art", is totally subjective, and free of appreciation. From our point of view, there are no “good photos” or “bad photos”, but simply photos that you may or may not like (well, actually there are some very bad ones haha​​!, but it is not the subject of this article). Today there are many different styles of wedding photography: lifestyle, editorial, traditional, romantic, artistic and, the one that is most on the rise: wedding documentary/photojournalism.

# 2 The FEELING you have with the wedding photographer
Bear in mind that you are going to share with that persons one of the most important, and perhaps stressful days of your life. He will be accompanying you from very early when you begin to prepare and until the end of the party when he is responsible for taking the final photo. It is very important then that you feel comfortable with that person so that their presence does not mean a nuisance but rather that it gives you peace of mind and transmits good vibes.

# 3 Check the complete PORTFOLIO of the wedding photographer (“sharpen your aim”)
The web portfolio of a photographer and/or videographer can be presented in multiple ways: There are those who prefer to publish/post “single photos” of different events, and of different moments, for example: from a party, some situation of preparations, from another wedding some portraits, and some other event some party time.

# 4 EXPERIENCE of the wedding photographer
Nobody is born knowing, and experience "per se" is not a guarantee of anything, but take the time to find out / investigate what experience the candidates you are evaluating have. Wedding photography has some peculiarities very typical of THAT branch of photography that it does not share with almost any other, and in that sense the journey that the photographer in question has becomes very important.

# 5 COMMUNICATION:
Although this point is not strictly photographic, it is important that you take into account the response time of the messages and, above all, their clarity. If it takes a photographer a week to respond to a request for a quote, imagine how long it will take for them to send you the finished material. Efficient communication is part of a quality service.

# 6 RECOMMENDATIONS of a wedding photographer of trusted and virtual people:
Nowadays, the internet is involved, it is quite easy to receive recommendations from people who have already gone through the experience. Of course, if you know them, much better! But just by googling a bit, you will surely be able to find testimonials, comments and ratings, first hand.

# 7 Price: How much does a wedding photographer cost?
It is not at all accidental that we have saved this item for last. Of course, the price is a very important item not only to choose a wedding photographer, but to choose anything in life! But going back to the analogy with the tattoo, we like to analyze this item as "value" ... think about it in relation to the "return" of what you are hiring.
