Choosing a photographer for your engagement and wedding is a very big decision. After all, these pictures will hold the magical moments from your special day for decades to come. But there are hundreds of photographers here in Central Florida, how will you choose the right one?

Here are a few expert tips to choose the right photographer for your special day

Invest in the best 

You may be able to find a good deal on a photographer who is just starting out, but the odds are you will pay for it down the road.

You need a photographer who has the experience to get it right the first time. Your photographer isn’t somewhere you want to cut corners.

“Don’t let anyone tell you its worth skimping on wedding photography or videography. After the wedding day, those photos are all that’s left to help you remember the day,” The Knot.

Browse The Photographer’s Portfolio 

It’s important to browse through any photographer’s portfolio you’re considering. Not only for examples of weddings they’ve photographed, but also the different approaches and styles. 

Choose the Right Style

Styles can range from traditional, contemporary, natural, and fine art. A professional wedding photographer understands how to get the perfect pictures. The look of authentic love on the groom’s face when he sees his bride walking down the aisle, the breathtaking romance of the first dance as husband and wife.

Create a Plan Of Action 

“Everything from your chosen venue to the time of year will affect your wedding photographs. If you’ve got your heart set on certain shots, like couple’s portraits at sunset or a sparkler send-off photo, then you need to talk it through with your photographer,” Wedding Ideas Magazine. 

To help plan what kind of photos you want, many couples choose to have engagement or pre-wedding photo shoot. This way when the big day comes along, everyone is on the same page.

Look at Online Reviews 

Do a little research online and see what other couples are saying about the photographer. It is a great way to gauge their work and make sure they are a good fit. Also, check out their website, make sure it is credible, have a gallery of their work, and information on the photographer.
