Congratulations on your engagement!

Planning your dream wedding can be an exciting but overwhelming experience. As you prepare for your big day, hiring a professional wedding photographer is crucial to capture your precious moments. Here are some tips to help you plan your wedding photography and make your memories last forever.

1. Research wedding photographers

Before you book a wedding photographer, do your research. Look for photographers who specialise in wedding photography and have experience in capturing the style and mood you want. Check their portfolios, read reviews, and make sure their wedding style matches you. Recommendations go a long way towards reassuring you that previous bride & grooms have had an amazing experience with that wedding photographer.

2. Book early

Wedding photographers book up quickly, so it is important to secure your date as soon as possible. Contact your preferred photographer early to ensure their availability and avoid disappointment.

3. Schedule a Pre Wedding Practice Shoot

This is a great way to get to know your photographer. Also an opportunity for you both to relax in front of the camera. After all when is the last time you both stood and had your picture captured together and not by stretching out your arm to getting a selfie? It is also an opportunity to discuss your plans for the big day. Your wedding photographer should be able to guide you through the day and help so much with timings and best times of the day to capture those special moments and details.

4. Create a Group List

Your wedding day will be full of special moments and emotions, so it is important to create a group list with your photographer. That way you wont forget about having a picture with auntie Ann etc 

Don't worry about a list for details, a good professional experienced wedding photographer will already have all your details captured.

5. Consider the lighting

Lighting is crucial for creating stunning wedding photos. Discuss the lighting options with your photographer, especially if your wedding is outdoors or in a low-light setting. Your photographer will know how to use natural and artificial light to create beautiful images.

6. Relax and have fun

On your wedding day, relax and have fun. Trust your photographer to capture the moments and emotions of the day. Let your emotions flow and enjoy the experience.

7. Choose the right package

Choose the wedding photography package that fits your budget and preferences. Consider the hours of coverage, and the final product, such as USB, prints, albums, and digital files.

Your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life, and hiring a professional wedding photographer is crucial to capture your memories. Do your research, book early. Remember to relax and enjoy the experience, and choose the right package for your needs. Best wishes for a lifetime of love and happiness!
