ongratulations, you're engaged! Your wedding day is fast approaching, and as a photographer, I understand that nothing can replace that moment when you walk down the aisle, or the moment your groom says, “I do.” Choosing the right photographer that can capture your timeless moments should feel like choosing the right wedding ring, dress, or venue. I want to share with you some great insights on what to look for in a photographer and why personality, education, and style plays such a big role in getting the best wedding photos.
Q

You want to make sure that you hire a photographer that’s enjoyable to work with and makes you feel comfortable. When the connection between the couple and the photographer is solid,

As a couple, you already have enough to worry about. And knowing that your photographer knows what they’re doing should make you feel comfortable and reduce any unwanted stress on your big day.
Documentary, artistic, and dramatic are some of the most common
