You should like your wedding photographer! Your photographer is unique among your wedding vendors because they will be with you for most of your wedding day. From getting ready, to taking your vows, to dancing on the dance floor, to finally driving off into the sunset (or sunrise, depending on how hard you party), your photographer will be there. So, it is vital that you like them!
Take the time to meet your potential photographers and get to know them. If you love their photos but spending time with them is torture, find someone else.
Where you go, we go:
We will be with you for most of, if not the entire day. Where you go, we go. Why? Because that’s where the action is, that’s where the emotion is, which means that’s where the photos are. Because of this, we will be spending a bunch of time together; for most of it, we will be trying to blend into the background and be as unobtrusive as possible, but it is impossible to go completely unnoticed. So, therefore, it’s essential that you like us and feel that you can work with us.
Being comfortable leads to better photos:
If you like your photographer and have an excellent rapport, you will be more relaxed and comfortable, which will lead to better, more authentic photos. Additionally, if you have a good rapport with your photographer, your photographer will be able to predict what is coming and what moments and photos will mean the most to you.
You will have more fun!
If you like your photographer and can relax and have fun with them, you will have a more enjoyable day. This comes with the bonus of more natural smiles, brighter eyes, and unforgettable memories.
So, take the time to meet more than one photographer. Go for coffee, or meet at your venue for a walking tour. Get to know them, see if you like hanging out with them and if you can hold a conversation with them. Most importantly, see if they leave you feeling good about yourself!
Wedding Photography FAQ's
The most obvious answer is to look for a photographer who takes photos you like. But, there are a few more things you should consider.
Do you like them? This is critically important because you will spend most of, if not all of, your big day with your photographer. If they take great photos, but you want to gouge your eyes out just being near them, they aren’t the photographer for you.
Do they have backup gear and backup plans? If you hire a professional photographer, they should plan like a professional. At Maple Bacon Photography, we always have backup gear and backup people. We can’t simply re-shoot your wedding on a different day, so we plan for foreseeable problems.
How do they handle data? At Maple Bacon Photography, we take data storage and security seriously. We always have backups and backups of the backups. We understand how precious your photos are, and we take great care in securing them.
Yes! You should absolutely meet them given how much time you will spend with your photographer on your wedding day. You can assess their work through an online gallery, but you can’t assess their personality and whether or not you will work well together.
At Maple Bacon Photography, we believe in this so much that we always offer to take prospective clients out for a cup of coffee, on us, of course.
