Finding a wedding photographer
Finding a wedding photographer in Philadelphia and the surrounding areas can be a daunting task, but it is also an important one. Your wedding photographs will be a treasured reminder of your special day for years to come, so it’s important to take the time to find the right photographer for you.
The first thing you should do is start looking for photographers as soon as possible. It’s not uncommon for photographers to book up to a year in advance, especially for peak wedding seasons like Fall. Once you have your wedding date, start looking for photographers and reach out to a few to see if they are available on your wedding date.
Next, consider the style of photography you are looking for. Do you want traditional posed photographs, or are you more interested in candid, photojournalistic shots? Do you want a mix of color and black and white photographs? Make a list of your preferences and look for photographers who specialize in the style you are looking for. My style is very natural in the way I capture your day and with the portraits I take.
It’s also a good idea to look at the portfolios of several different photographers to get a sense of their work.
Once you have a shortlist of photographers, set up consultations with each of them. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and get a sense of their personality and approach to photography. I love doing Zoom meets so we can meet face to face.
Always look up the photographers reviews from real couples. This will give you a lot of insight to their style, personalities and how they run their business.
Finally, consider the cost of the photographer’s services. Wedding photography packages can vary widely in price, so make sure to discuss your budget with each photographer and see what options are available. I offer hourly rates as well as 8 hour packages that are $4300.
In conclusion, finding the right wedding photographer is an important task that requires some research and planning. Start looking for photographers as soon as possible, consider the style of photography you want, review portfolios, set up consultations, and discuss costs to find the perfect photographer for your special day.
