I think this is one of the issues that most worry brides and grooms? And it's true that the photographer's choice of your wedding is essential. Why? What will remain after the marriage is over? Your half obviously, your wedding rings, and your memories ... So as well choose who will be responsible for immortalizing your day. But where to start? Here are some ways to choose the best wedding photographer.

First and foremost, set the budget you can give to the image based on your overall budget and priorities. The idea is not to tell you which envelope you must imperatively grant to this post, it belongs only to you, but to have well in mind this one, and to contact the photographers whose services correspond to that –this, you will avoid disappointments.

Identify the style of images you like

It is imperative to identify the style of images that you and your other half like. And you must agree with you. You will be sure to be after the wedding, both delighted with the result.

Once you have found the pictures that speak to you the most, look for photographers who work in this style. And only this one. The best way to be disappointed with your wedding photos would be to have chosen a person of a certain style, and to ask him to give you images in a style quite different from his. Neither you nor he would be happy with the result.

When to look for your photographer?

At the earliest the best, but not too early either. For example, it will be of little use to start contacting photographers until you have set the date and place of your wedding. This does not prevent you from starting to look quietly at what is being done. The most prominent photographers are quickly booked, do not hesitate to contact them 12 months before your wedding.

Contact your photographer

You do not have to contact 20 or 30 photographers, which is more with the same message. You would lose time. Most photographers indicate on their site a starting price, allowing you to know whether or not he or she is in your budget, this will allow you to make a first sort.

Select, three or four photographers, corresponding to the style that you like, and whose pictures really speak to you. And contact them one by one, starting with your favorite to see if the current passes, and especially if it is still available on your wedding day.

What questions to ask him?

Do not hesitate to ask him all the questions that go through your head. Better to be quite comfortable, and leave no room for misunderstanding.

Since when does this job? How much marriage did he make? What is included in his performance? Is he alone or assisted on the day? How long are the images delivered? On which support? Does he propose a commitment session? Is it insured? What happens if he gets sick and cannot be present on D-Day? Can he give you an estimate of his travel expenses?
