Choosing a Wedding Photographer
When it comes to choosing your wedding photographer, you need to consider a few different factors. What style of wedding photography do you like? Do you want lots of posed shots, or do you prefer a more natural, reportage style? Do you like lots of bold bright colours and props like smoke bombs, or do you want a more muted feel with some dramatic black and white edits thrown in?
Save the wedding photographs you like the most - on Instagram, Pinterest, or as screenshots on your phone - and show them to the photographers you’re interested in. They’ll be able to tell you if it’s similar to their style of wedding photography or not.
How Much Does a Wedding Photographer Cost?
The cost of UK wedding photographers is going to vary based on what you want. It’s a good idea to chat to the photographers you like and ask them how much they cost - they will quite likely have a range of different packages to help offer more affordable services for couples with a tighter budget.
You can get a more affordable wedding photographer by being creative with what you want - some photographers will offer packages where they just shoot your ceremony, so they don’t stick around for the reception, whilst others will do deals for out of season dates.
Remember, your wedding photos are all that you have left after the day is done, so it’s definitely worth going for the best wedding photographer that you can afford to ensure that you have wonderful photos to cherish forever.
How to Take Good Wedding Photos
Your wedding photographer is going to be an absolute pro when it comes to taking good wedding photos! They will pose you in the right places and give you tips and encouragement that will result in beautiful photographs. Remember, when you book a wedding photographer, you’re not just paying them for the time they spend at your wedding. You’re paying them for their expertise and experience, and for the hours they will spend after the wedding editing the photos.
If you’re nervous about your wedding photos, just let your photographer know. They will have heard it before and will have tips and ideas to relax you, and will make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. An engagement shoot is a common practise now so your photographer can get used to working with you, and you can feel more comfortable being photographed. Everyone looks radiant on their wedding day - it’s impossible not too! So start browsing the UK wedding photographers listed on Hitched to find the right one for you.
