How to Choose the Right Wedding Photographer for You

Choosing your wedding photographer is one of the biggest (and most emotional) decisions you’ll make while planning your day. You’re not just picking someone to take photos — you’re choosing the person who’ll be by your side through the most important, emotional, laughter-filled moments of your life.

Here’s how to find the one who’s right for you.

💛 1. Love their style — and trust their eye

Every photographer sees the world differently. Some love light and airy, others dark and moody. I’m all about real colour, warmth, and emotion — photos that feel alive and timeless.

When you scroll through someone’s portfolio, ask yourself:

“Can I see myself in these photos?”

If the answer is yes — you’re halfway there.

🤍 2. Connect with their personality

You’ll spend more time with your photographer on your wedding day than almost anyone else — so it’s important that you actually click!

Look for someone who makes you feel relaxed, comfortable, and understood. The best photos happen when you feel safe to be yourself.

📸 3. Ask about their experience & process

Your photographer should make the experience easy. Ask how they plan timelines, handle weather, or deal with unexpected moments.

A great photographer doesn’t just take beautiful photos — they guide you, support you, and help the whole day flow seamlessly.

🌿 4. Read reviews & talk to past clients

Real experiences tell you everything. Check Google or social reviews to see what other couples say about their experience. Look for words like “calm,” “fun,” “professional,” and “felt like a friend.”

🕊 5. Don’t choose on price alone

It’s tempting to pick the cheapest option, but photography is one of the few things that lasts beyond the day. Your photos are how you’ll remember your wedding — and they deserve to be captured beautifully.

✨ 6. Follow your gut

Sometimes, you just know.If their photos make you feel something, if their energy feels right, and if you can imagine them cheering you on behind the camera — that’s your person.

Final thoughts

Choosing the right photographer isn’t about ticking boxes — it’s about connection, trust, and shared vision. When you find the right fit, everything else falls into place.
