How to choose your wedding photographer (without regretting it)

There are decisions that concern just one day.

The venue.

The menu.

The seating plan.

The flowers.

And then there’s one that will stay with you for the rest of your lives.

Choosing the photographer.

In twenty years’ time, you won’t remember the taste of the cake or the colour of the chairs, but all you’ll need to do is open an album to be transported right back there, to that very moment

That’s why choosing a photographer means so much more than simply choosing who will take the photographs.

It means choosing who will tell your story.

Look at a whole wedding, not just Instagram

On Instagram, it’s easy to show off the best photographs.

But a wedding doesn’t last just a minute.

It lasts a whole day.

Always ask to see a complete portfolio.

The preparations, the ceremony, the reception, the after-party.

It’s the only way to tell if that photographer can truly tell a story from start to finish.

Choose a style that will still move you in thirty years’ time

Fashions change.

Memories don’t.

That’s why I prefer elegant, authentic and timeless images.

Photographs that don’t need to follow a trend to move you.

Feel free to be yourselves

The photographer will be with you for most of the day.

If, during your first meeting, you feel listened to, relaxed and understood, you’ve probably found the right person.

That trust shows in the photographs.

Don’t look for the person who takes the most photographs

Look for the person who tells the story best.

An image that captures
