Finding the right photographer for you

Why is this important to find the right photographer for your personality?

Finding the right photographer as a couple means spending a lot of time researching and considering your preferences to make sure your photographer’s work aligns with your style and personality. Every photographer has a different approach when it comes to capturing luxury weddings and the very first step for couples is to decide on the style of wedding photography they are drawn to, for example an editorial touch versus a documentary or an artistic style - you may be looking for a blend of these styles - and to gauge whether the photographer’s work resonates with who they are as a couple as well as individuals.

Every details counts, not only the photographer’s overall aesthetics but also the artist’s composition, storytelling ability, creativity, tones he/she gravitate towards to ensure his approach matches what the couple wants their photos to reflect and ensure that their vision will be captured beautifully and authentically.

The connection and level of confort with your photographer is also really important as it could affect the quality of the photos. Their level of responsiveness, willingness to address your questions and concerns will help determine their involvement and how far they are willing to go to document your story. Then the  level of experience and skills to photograph weddings with a similar style and scale. Luxury wedding photography often requires a high level of experience and skill. Ask about their experience shooting weddings, especially those of a similar scale and style to yours.

Viewing complete wedding albums can give you a more accurate picture of the photographer's storytelling ability. This helps you assess their consistency in delivering quality images throughout an entire wedding day.
