When the bride and groom plan their future wedding, they want everything to be perfect. Especially the photos. After all, photos and videos are the only thing that will remain in their family for years to come as a memory of the brightest day.

But how in today’s world with so many ads, variety of services and an increasing number of professionals in the wedding industry to choose the very specialist who will help make your celebration truly unique and unrepeatable, will not fail during the wedding and will please with excellent results after, when they give ready-made photos?

Here are a few points to pay attention to and the choice of a wedding photographer will not be a guessing game, but a conscious step that will bring only positive emotions.

The style and quality of the shooting. It seems obvious, but not everyone realizes that before you agree with the photographer, you need to see examples of his work. And not just look, but decide that his shooting and processing style suits you completely, and you want your wedding photos to look exactly the same. Some newlyweds send the photographer pictures that they like and ask to do exactly the same at their wedding, and then get disappointed with the result.

Having a wedding portfolio. It is very important that your future photographer has not just a portfolio consisting of portraits of children, a pet cat and pretty girls, but also examples of photos from weddings. The wedding photo session is a separate genre and if a photographer is good at portraits or corporate events it does not mean that he will also do an excellent job with weddings.

Full wedding photography. Usually only the best photos are put in the portfolio. Often, beginners meet situations where those 2-3 photos from the wedding that they posted are the only decent ones from the entire shoot. Therefore, do not evaluate the level of the photographer only by those few dozen photos that are on his website or group in a social network.

Attention to detail. The newlyweds are preparing for the wedding for several months, with love and attention selecting accessories and outfits, decor elements, decorations for the hall, flowers, ordering beautiful cards for the tables… All these details should necessarily be reflected on your wedding photos.

Emotion. Often you can find photographers who take static pictures: here is the bride standing, and here is the groom sitting, here they are looking into the camera, and here they are kissing. If you want really great wedding photos, look for a photographer who knows how to convey emotion. On his photos of the newlyweds do not just look at the camera, they are laughing and hugging, sincerely anticipating the start of a new life, with tenderness and love enjoy the holiday and each other.

Processing. Beware of masters, who are too exaggerated by the decoration of photos with various computer effects. Often it is only a way to hide the technical imperfection of your pictures.
