I don’t know about you, but we love wedding photos. Like, adore them. Post them, print them, turn them into huge art pieces for your wall – whatever you do with them, having photographs of your wedding celebration are some of the most treasured reminders of your special day, and ones you can share with your loved ones for the rest of your life! A good wedding photographer ensures that every aspect of your day is beautifully captured and preserved forever, transforming your memories into a visual story that you can relive again and again.
We know it can be overwhelming to choose the right photographer, but the main things to keep in mind are your budget, the photographer’s shooting & editing style and your general vibe with them. Besides your spouse, you’re going to spend the most time on your wedding day with your photographer – so it’s important you feel comfortable being yourself around them.
