What is most important when looking for a photographer?
There are so many things to consider when booking a photographer. We take photographs at all of life's special events like weddings and birthdays. We also use photography to mark some of life's best milestones like getting engaged or when you're getting ready to add the newest addition to your family. All these moments in life are treasures that we want to remember and relive when we look back. So what is the most important thing to consider when hiring a photographer to capture such an important moment in your life's story?
First of all, let's talk about what's not most important. I can tell you it's not your budget. You're not going to look back on baby photos of your firstborn and say that session was $50 more than I wanted to spend. The most important thing is not hiring a friend "with a camera" to get a deal. Friends with cameras are awesome but that doest mean they should photograph something as important as your wedding day. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event. You want a professional you can count on, not someone who could potentially forget to bring a backup battery, camera, memory card or choose to shoot without a flash during your reception that was lit with only ambient lighting.
The most important thing when looking for a photographer is a combination of finding the right person, with an editing style you love and the experience to deliver images that will make you feel as though that moment will live on forever. You want to find that person you connect with, who makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Their images should give you butterflies and make your heart sing. Find someone with an editing style that speaks to you. Lastly, make sure that person has the knowledge and the proper experience with their equipment for the job. An educated photographer with hands-on experience will always have your back. We know how important these moments are to you. They are just as important to us.
