Every wedding photographer has his or her own style. Be sure to ask your photographer what their style is, and review samples of their work, so that you understand their point-of-view. For example, some photographers are strictly old-school and are known for posed shots. Others consider themselves story-tellers and create a narrative of the wedding day through pictures. Still others are totally candid, looking for those interesting “just happened to happen” type of shots that can keep people turning the pages (or viewing online) of a wedding photo album.
Make sure the style you want (perhaps it’s a combination) is something your photographer is capable of achieving. Photographers now take a variety of different photos. If there are any specialty shots you want, make sure you have everything the photographer will need to take it. For example, one photo that has become popular is the wedding invitation with your wedding rings on top. If you want such a picture, be sure to have an invitation available. And be sure to communicate with the photographer to make sure the best and most memorable moments are captured. Designate one member of the wedding party to be the liaison during the festivities so the photographer isn’t getting instructions from five different people. This will help make sure your storybook wedding has a storybook that captures all its fun and excitement.
Have a great day!
