Choosing a wedding photographer can feel overwhelming. Here’s what truly matters — style, experience, personality, and the way they make you feel in front of the camera.
Choosing a wedding photographer is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make during wedding planning — not because of the photos themselves, but because your photographer is with you more than almost anyone else on your wedding day.
Here’s what actually matters (and what doesn’t).
1. Choose a style you want to see for the rest of your life
There are three main styles:
- Documentary — candid, real, emotional
- Editorial — elevated, artistic, intentional
- Traditional — posed, classic
My work blends editorial artistry with documentary storytelling, giving you images that feel both elevated and deeply human.
2. Look for consistency, not just a few good photos
Scroll through full galleries.
Look at indoor, outdoor, sunny, rainy, reception lighting, getting ready, and dance floor moments.
Consistency = experience.
3. Pay attention to how their photos make you feel
Do you feel the emotion?
Do the couples look comfortable?
Do the images feel timeless or trendy?
4. Make sure you connect with their personality
Your photographer should feel like someone you can be fully yourself around — silly, emotional, awkward, joyful, all of it.
5. Ask about their approach on the wedding day
Do they guide you?
Do they step back and document?
Do they help with timelines?
Do they keep things calm?
6. Understand what’s included in their packages
Hours, engagement session, second shooter, timeline help, travel, galleries, albums — all of these shape your experience.
7. Trust your gut
You’ll know when you’ve found the right person.
If you feel seen, understood, and excited — that’s your photographer.
