1. Research
I guess the first step to finding a Wedding Photographer is research. The most obvious and usually the first port of call is the Internet. Most brides to be like to look at wedding blogs, Facebook pages and sites like Pinterest for inspiration and through that you will find lots of great Wedding Photographers. Another great way is to ask friends, family or colleagues. You can’t beat a word of mouth recommendation.
2. Style
Once you've started researching online or in magazines you will be drawn to a certain “style” of wedding photography. Whether it’s soft and ethereal, dramatic, formal or candid. Once you know what kind of style appeals to you it makes your search easier, you can then narrow down a list of possible photographers and start the ball rolling on getting in touch.
Personally I like to meet potential clients face to face, usually over a coffee. It’s a chance to discuss what you, as the client wants and what you can expect from your Wedding Photographer. It’s also a great opportunity as a client to see if you feel comfortable with the photographer and you hit it off, this is very important, as you will be spending a lot of time together on your big day. You will look stunning on your big day and you want that reflected in your photographs so you need to be relaxed and trust your Photographer.
4. Finally….
Once you've made a decision, book, book, book! Wedding photographers book up quickly each season so make sure you don’t miss out on your first choice. Once you're all booked you can relax as one more thing has been crossed of the list of thing to do.
