3 Things to Consider When Choosing a Wedding Photographer
How to Choose the Right Memphis Wedding Photographer for You
Hey friend! Congrats on your engagement! I am so excited for you to experience this amazing season. Now that you and your guy are officially planning to tie the knot, you’ll want to start planning your big day. From the cake to the dress to the photography, there’s so much to consider.
Let’s chat details, because when it comes to choosing the right wedding photographer, there are a few things you should seriously consider before picking the right photographer for you.
What is your price range for a wedding photographer?
The first step in planning your big day is setting your budget. From your wedding, rehearsal, and reception to your honeymoon and gifts for your wedding party, there are a lot of expenses to consider. Be realistic about your budget and your expectations and create a plan that allows you to stick to your budget while creating the wedding of your dreams.
When it comes to the details when creating a budget for your big day, what are your must-haves? Is there a venue you’ve always dreamed of? Memphis wedding venues tend to book up pretty far in advance, so we recommend booking as soon as possible to pick your wedding date. Once you have your venue booked, focus on finding a photographer and reaching out as soon as possible to reserve your date! As with most photographers, we are often booked about one year in advance, so if you’re interested in working with us, let us know as soon as possible once you have your date set!
If you’re anything like me, you’ll want to remember your wedding day for years to come and will cherish the ability to look back on this day and remember all of the perfect details. If so, you’ll want to invest in a wedding photographer who is experienced and professional.
Do they produce quality wedding photography?
Because your photographs will be cherished for years to come, it’s essential to choose a wedding photographer and videographer with the right skills and experience. In other words, this is not the time to provide your friends and family with an opportunity to hone their photography skills at a discounted rate.
Marrying your best friend is a once-in-a-lifetime event that you want to look back on with the fondest of memories, and the right wedding photographer can help you do that not only on your wedding day, but also each time you glance back at your wedding day photographs. Most brides, (me included!), choose to have their wedding photographs printed on canvas or framed to display in their home. If your photographer doesn’t offer the highest quality photographs, this will not only display in their work, but also in any photographs you have printed.
We’ve walked through this journey ourselves, and we know how special this part of your big day is. That’s why we believe looking back on your special day and experiencing the magic all over again should be part of your investment. The first time you see your photos, we want you to be over-the-moon excited, which is why we provide each couple who invests in a wedding photography package with a Retina display iPad engraved with your names and wedding date to view your photos the way they were designed to be viewed - in high-definition, high-resolution format. This also makes sharing your photos to your phone, to Facebook and Instagram, and to friends and family a breeze!
What style and aesthetic are you looking for?
Photography is an art, and every artist has their own style, so when choosing the right wedding photographer, it’s also important to understand what style you are looking for. If you want your wedding photos to be light and airy, then it’s best to choose a wedding photographer who offers that aesthetic. If you want your photos to have a vintage feel, then we recommend working with a photographer who specializes in that style.
Our Style
We specialize in bright and classic photography that captures your authentic personalities. If you and your guy have a great sense of humor and love to laugh together, we want to capture that. If you both crave adventure and want your love of the outdoors to shine through, we want to share that with the world! Our photography isn’t over-edited but rather showcases the natural lighting, the natural colors, and the delicate florals, textures, and tones of your special day.
