| Q | There are so many photographers out there – how do we choose the right one for us? |
| A | John Wellings says: I believe that there is a lot more to choosing a photographer than just the initial impression the photos make, although you've got to love that part straight away! Have a think about how you want to experience your day. For example, would you prefer to not really notice your photographer's presence and have them more in the background, or are you more looking for a more traditional approach, with more emphasis on the staged moments? Your photographer's style, whether traditional, documentary, or somewhere in between, is really important. It's also worth taking your potential photographer's experience into consideration; if you feel confident in their ability to handle any situation, then this can help calm your nerves on the day. Be thorough in looking at their previous work. It's not enough to look at their Instagram; make sure to look at previous full galleries of real weddings. You'll get an idea of how the photographer works throughout the day and see all of the images that don't make the portfolio too. Get on the phone! This is a great way to see if your vibes align. For example, if you are more of an extroverted personality, then maybe a photographer that comes across that way too is going to be better for you than a more introspective style and vice versa. Having a chat over the phone is one of the best ways to find out if you're compatible. |
