Wedding Planning | Find a Photographer
Photography Resources
Photographs tell the wedding story best.
Your wedding only lasts one day, but you'll want to hold onto the pictures forever. Select a photographer who will make your wedding story one-of-a-kind by following these suggestions from the Professional Photographers of America (PPA), a non-profit association of more than 16,000 photographers:
- Interview several photographers. Ask whether the photographer specializes in traditional, posed portraits or candid photojournalistic style, and whether they prefer black and white or color photography.
- Look at samples. Ask to see albums that show wedding coverage from start to finish giving you an idea of both the style and quality each photographer provides.
- Ask about backups. Ask if the photographer carries back-up equipment and make sure the photographer has a ready replacement who can photograph your wedding if he or she becomes ill.
- Develop a relationship. Look for a photographer that makes you comfortable. You are hiring someone to tell the story of your special day and a skilled professional will want to know about your personalities and preferences.
- Communicate. Make sure the photographer has a clear understanding of your expectations. Take time to sit down and discuss the services and fees involved to avoid any misunderstandings.
- Ask about credentials. Membership in a professional association, certification or a photography degree shows a certain level of commitment to the profession and should be considered when choosing a photographer.
- Check references. A friend's recommendation, the Better Business Bureau and professional associations are excellent sources of information.
