So you are planning for that special day when you will exchange vows with the love of your life. How exciting, nerve wrecking, and important is this day? And as they say when all is said and done, it’s the memories of your wedding day that will live on. This means a good photographer is crucial. But how do you pick that person that is going to capture those picture perfect moments?

We’d love for you to choose Sterling Photography International to serve you and your beloved on your special day. But more importantly right now we want to give you some tips on choosing the right photographer for your wedding day.

  • Personality may be underrated in this process. When you meet your photographer you really want to see if your personalities mesh. After all, you will be spending a good amount of time with them during the wedding.
  • Make sure you check out their level of experience and perhaps ask for some references. You definitely want to check out their portfolio as well.
  • Think about the style of photography you have in mind and make sure the photographer has images that align with your wants—candid, classic etc.?
  • Check out to see if the photographer you meet will actually be the person photographing your wedding. You should make sure you know who will be there that day. It is likely for photographers to work weddings in a team so you will want to see everyone’s work.
  • Check out the prices and make sure they are in your range (don’t forget to think about albums and reprints). Talk deposits and payments!
  • Make sure you understand the contract up, down, backwards, and sideways.
  • Ask how long it will be before you get the proofs back etc.
