10 ways to get the best from your wedding photographer

Hiring the best wedding photographer doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get all the things you’ve envisioned. To get the best from your photographer, keep these tips in mind:

  1. Share your vision: Clearly communicate key details about the ceremony and the must-capture moments so the photographer knows what matters most to you.

  2.  Plan the timeline: Ensure the photographer has enough time at each location to work without interruptions.

  3. Choose locations wisely: If you’re planning a shoot, secure necessary permissions and consider factors like weather, crowd, and distance. Always have a backup plan.

  4. Keep spaces organized: Declutter areas like getting-ready rooms and family portrait locations. Clean, well-lit spaces (especially with natural light) save time and enhance photo quality.

  5. Trust the photographer: Be open to their suggestions, even if they seem unusual. Stay relaxed, be yourself, and enjoy the process for the best results.

  6. Coordinate with vendors: Ensure vendors like decorators and planners align with the photographer’s needs, as lighting and décor significantly impact the final images.

  7. Minimize guest interference: Politely discourage guests from disrupting the photographer or stepping into frames with their personal cameras.

  8. Stay positive: Not everything will go as planned, but embracing the moment and enjoying your day will create beautiful memories.

  9. Engage with loved ones: Genuine interactions with friends and family often lead to the most meaningful photos.

  10. Consider a pre-wedding session: A portrait session before the wedding helps you get comfortable on camera and ensures natural, authentic moments.

    By following these steps, you’ll help your photographer deliver a collection of photos you’ll treasure forever.
