How did everyone pick their photographers? I feel like I go on the websites and they all look the same. We want a photographer that is willing to have fun with our wedding party to make the picture taking experience fun and enjoyable.

    Hi I’m a photographer myself. My recommendation is first no me up with a budget and what you need.
    Secondly with a style of photo…. Do you like dark and moody pictures or bright and airy or realistic?Thirdly pick a few photographers that fit those requirements and schedule meetings with them.
    See who you have a good connection with and go with them. I select clients by seeing if we click in the meeting. I want to become the brides friend and I’m sure you do too since you will be spending so much time with your photographer.
    Hope this helps!

    Hi Cindy! When I was choosing a photographer my first two priorities were photography style and price!! Once I had it narrowed down to my top 7-10 photographers, I reached out about their availability and to set up a phone call! A bunch of them were already booked for my date, so the rest I felt out over the phone to see who I got along with best.

    Here are two great articles with tips you should check out as well:

    Lynnie has made an excellent point here, you need to love the style of the photographer. I'd even say that the price actually comes second because if you fall for it glossing over the style you don't particulary enjoy and the photos come across as not what you've thought they would be, there will be only so much changes you can do in Photoworks! So look through the portfolios carefully.
