Choose a Photographer That Matches Your Style
It’s important to find a photographer who can capture all of the precious moments of your big day in a way that matches your style. Do some research online, check out websites or Instagram accounts, and look at reviews to get an idea of which photographers have shot weddings similar to yours before. You may also want to meet with them in person so you can get a feel for their work and personality. It's also important to book early! Photographers tend to book up quickly during wedding season, so make sure you give yourself plenty of time for research.

Discuss Your Expectations
Communication is key when it comes to getting exactly what you want from your photographer on your wedding day. Before booking any vendor, be sure that both parties know what’s expected from each other. Talk about what kind of photos you want taken—both posed shots and candid shots—and go over which family members or friends will be included in each photo so everyone can prepare ahead of time. You’ll also want to discuss any limitations due to light or space restrictions so there aren't any surprises on the big day!

Take Time For Photos
On your wedding day, time is of the essence! Make sure that there is adequate time allotted for taking pictures before and/or after the ceremony. This way, everyone won't be rushed while they are trying to take pictures together and they’ll have enough time for everyone in each group photo without feeling like they are missing out on other activities happening throughout the reception venue or hall. It’s also important not to forget about detail shots; these small moments might mean more than group photos when looking back years later!
