What to Consider When Hiring a Wedding Photographer

When booking a wedding photographer, couples should consider several key factors to ensure they capture their special day in a way that reflects their vision and style. Tom Fuller, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Chester County, Pennsylvania shares what you should be thinking about when hiring yours.

STYLE & AESTHETIC

Different photographers have different styles, such as traditional, documentary, or artistic. Couples should select a photographer whose style aligns with their vision for the wedding photos. Reviewing the photographer’s portfolio is crucial to understanding their work. If possible always see a full wedding gallery from photographers that you’re considering for your wedding day.

EXPERIENCE

Wedding photography requires a unique set of skills, including the ability to work under pressure, adapt to various lighting conditions, and anticipate moments. Couples should look for a photographer with experience in capturing weddings, ideally at their chosen venue.

PERSONALITY & CONNECTION

The photographer will be with the couple throughout their special day, so it’s important to have a good rapport and feel comfortable with them. An initial meeting or engagement session can help assess if the photographer is a good fit for the couple.

POST-PRODUCTION & DELIVERY TIME

It’s important to understand the photographer’s post-production process, including how long it will take to receive the final images or albums. This timeline can vary greatly among photographers.

VENUE FAMILIARITY

Hiring a photographer who is familiar with your specific venue can be a great advantage. They’ll know the best spots for photos and how to work with the lighting and surroundings.
