How to Choose a Wedding Photographer

Love their work.

These are images of your most important day. If a photographer's work doesn't move you, move on! Beautiful wedding memories are more than just a few great images, so ask yourself, "How well does the wedding photographer weave images into a story, on a DVD, or in an album?" Don't compromise on quality.

Find a wedding photography package that fits your budget.

It's easy to break the bank with a wedding, so it's important that your wedding photography fits within your budget. Be sure that the package you're selecting includes all the elements important to you: hours of coverage, number of photographers, album(s), digital negatives, retouching services, etc. Your images will be the memories of your wedding day, so make sure you have allocated enough in your budget for excellent wedding photography.

Use a trusted professional.

Selecting a wedding photographer is a once-in-a-lifetime choice. Are you confident that your pictures will reflect the quality and style of their sample albums? Do you trust that the photographer has adequate back-up plans should they become ill? Are you certain your package includes everything you need? Trust your instincts. If something doesn't feel right, keep looking.

If you consult any bridal magazine or wedding planning website, you'll find a massive list of questions to ask of a prospective wedding photographer. At Bella Pictures, we've asked the all the right questions — so you don't have to!
