5 Tips To Get The Most Out Of Your Wedding Photographer

The ultimate guide you need to ensure the photos from your big day are picture-perfect

Your wedding day happens once – that’s why it’s important to get it right. And getting it right starts with hiring an exceptional wedding photographer who knows exactly how to capture the essence of your big day through the power of their lens. From planning, preparation and lighting – here’s everything you need to know to make the most out of your wedding photographer:

1. Hunt Down The Best Wedding Photographer

First things first – you need to find a dedicated wedding photographer that isn’t just great at what they do, but also someone who will work with you to ensure your wedding day runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Let’s be honest – there are countless photographers available to choose from, but it takes someone special to tell your story in a way that is uniquely yours.

2. Set Up A Zoom Meeting

Great – now you’ve found your photographer, why not set up a video chat and put a name to the face? This is a fantastic way to go over every meticulous detail before your wedding day to make sure the event runs as smoothly as possible. Plus, you should feel comfortable with the person who will shadow your every move on your wedding day, and they’ll also be interacting with your guests too!

3. Choose Your Theme and Colour Palette

Your wedding theme isn’t just the perfect opportunity to reflect you and your partner’s personal style, but it also serves as a beautiful backdrop for your wedding photos. Hosting a winter wedding? Far-flung adventure on a tropical island? Be sure to carefully consider the theme would like to portray and how you envision your guests celebrating, and your wedding photos will tell the story. Here’s an example: one of my previous clients opted for a purple and pink colour palette, which created a super contemporary feel – complemented by cascading chandeliers that added a gorgeous dreamy touch to the final images.

4. Give Yourself Time To Prepare

The big day has arrived! My number one recommendation is to get started early so you can sit back, relax and enjoy the moment as it unfolds. The earlier you’re dressed and ready to go means you have even more time to capture the highlights of your day, with friends, family and your partner.

5. Catch The Best Light

There’s no doubt about it – lighting makes an astronomical difference in wedding photos. Sure, the weather also plays a part – but a truly experienced wedding photographer knows exactly how to help you make the most of what you’ve got. Whether you want shots taken during golden hour or fancy using the venue as your backdrop – always remember to consider the lighting so your photographer can capture you and your guests with utmost clarity.
