The look OF LOVE

Local photographers share their favourite images

your photographer is one of the most important decisions you will make when planning your wedding. The first thing you should do is decide on a style that you like. There are plenty of photographers out there, and everyone’s style is different; you’ll need to narrow it down to what you like and don’t like. Some photographers prefer to take relaxed, documentary pictures that are captured in an unobstructive manner with limited group and posed shots. While others have a more traditional style with more posed snaps. Work out what feels right for you and fits the vibe of your big day. To help give you some inspiration, we’ve asked local photographers to share some of their favourite images...

Choosing

The Vows

Just The Two Of Us

Once you've picked a photography style that you like, think about the personality of your supplier. Your photographer will not only be responsible for capturing one of the most important days of your life, but they will also be with you all day, so it’s important you get along with each other. Have a phone call or meet in person to discuss your big day and see if they’re the right fit for you. Ask if they offer an engagement session; this will give you the chance to spend some time with them and get a feel for how they work. In addition, you’ll get some great images that will help calm any nerves ahead of your wedding day!

Most professionals have very limited availability, especially during wedding season, so book in advance. If you’re trying to cut costs, think about what you want and what you can cut to make it cheaper. Most of the time, the price is based on coverage time, so it might be worth mentioning your budget to your photographer to see if they offer a package that will make it more affordable.
