So you’re planning your wedding eh ? cue the Pinterest boards, champagne toasts, and about a thousand decisions. One of the biggest? Finding the RIGHT photographer. You’re not just looking for someone with a fancy camera, you’re looking for someone who gets you, your love story, and knows how to capture it authentically.

What to Look for in a Wedding Photographer:

Here’s what matters most when you’re scrolling through Instagram or wedding directories:

• Style Match: Love those candid, storytelling photos that feel like real moments? Make sure your photographer specializes in documentary-style photography (hi, that’s me!).

• Experience: Weddings are beautifully chaotic.. your photographer should know how to go with the flow, handle tricky lighting, and capture the quiet moments and the wild dance floor.

• Connection: You’ll be spending most of your wedding day with this person, so good vibes are non-negotiable. Find someone you feel comfortable with.

Bonus Tip: Ask to see a full wedding gallery. Pretty Instagram grids are great, but full galleries show how your photographer handles every part of the day—from emotional first looks to sparkler exits.

Why It Matters:

Your wedding photos aren’t just for you—they’re for your kids, grandkids, and anyone who wants to feel what that day was like. Choosing the right photographer means your memories will be preserved honestly, beautifully, and forever.
