One of the most important aspects of your wedding day is choosing the right photographer to capture your memories. With so many options available, it can be difficult to know where to start. Here are ten tips to help you choose the perfect Edmonton Wedding Photographer:

1.     Do your research and read reviews.

By word of mouth is the best way to find a good photographer. Consult with your family, friends, and coworkers to see if they can recommend anyone. Once you have a few names, do some research online and read reviews from past clients.

2.     Set a budget.

Photography can be one of the most expensive aspects of your wedding, so it’s important to set a budget upfront and stick to it. When meeting with potential photographers, ask about their pricing and packages to see if they fit within your budget.

3.     Look at portfolios.

A photographer’s portfolio will give you a good idea of their style and approach. Examine each photo’s overall aesthetic, composition, and technical prowess when assessing portfolios.

4.     Schedule a consultation meeting.

After narrowing down your list of potential photographers, schedule a consultation meeting so you can get to know them better and see if their personality is a good fit for you and your fiancee.

5.     Ask about their experience.

Make sure the photographer you choose has plenty of experience shooting weddings. You don’t want someone who is just starting and may not be able to handle the stress and demands of a wedding day.

6.     Discuss logistics upfront.

Be sure to discuss logistics with your photographer beforehand, such as how they will be getting to and from the wedding venue, what time they will arrive, how long they plan on staying, etc.

7.     Get everything in writing.

Once you’ve found the perfect photographer, make sure everything is finalized in a contract so there are no surprises on your wedding day.

8.     Make a payment plan.

Most photographers require a deposit upfront with the balance due closer to the wedding date. Work out a payment plan that works for both you and the photographer so there is no financial strain on either side.

9.     Have a backup plan.

In the unlikely event that your photographer is unable to make it to your wedding, make sure you have a backup plan in place. Ask your photographer for recommendations or look online for potential replacements.

10.  Enjoy the process!

Choosing a wedding photographer can be daunting, but with these tips and some careful planning, you can find the perfect photographer for your special day. Enjoy the process and just remember to have fun!
