Happy Tuesday,
Lovelies!
Because we’re
rounding the end of the super busy wedding season, and 2014 brides are booking
their wedding photographers, I think we should discuss a few important points
about how to select your wedding photographer.
For my wedding, photography was numero uno. I’m
not a big fan of wedding cake, and I knew my venue (a local park) would be
open… so, first step was nailing down a date that worked with my family and the
photographer.
With our date
somewhat secured, we worked out our contract with our photographer and waited
for paperwork to be finalized by our church.
Welllll, over 6 months before our wedding and without a signed contract, another couple booked **our**
photographer. Crap!
I searched all
over for a replacement, but not finding one.
I changed my date. That’s right,
folks. I changed my date for
photography.
My mom had her
suspicions we were putting off the wedding.
“Really, can’t you just find another photographer? I know someone who takes great pictures of
wildlife. I’ll send you their contact
info…. Are you sure everything’s ok?”
Yes, Mom!
If you’re
reading my blog, we’re probably on the same page. Photography is very important… but how do you
find the “right” photographer for you?
First, you
should like the photographer’s “eye.”
Like how they shoot and how they edit.
Secondly, you
should really like your photographer’s personality. You have to be with your photographer as you
strip to get in your dress, go through the stress and joy of your day… and your
photographer is with just you and your new husband or wife… alone… for the
first 30 minutes-hour of you being newlyweds as you get your portraits.
Third-wheel
awkward!
Or is it? The photographer who is **your** match should
make you feel anything but awkward and uncomfortable. Spend some time one-on-one with your
photographer. An amazing photographer who makes you feel uncomfortable, will give your award-wining pictures of you looking uncomfortable.
And, because a
post isn’t a post without a photograph… here’s something to tide you over until
tomorrow!
