Your wedding photographer is responsible for the photos you’ll keep forever, no pressure, right? But couples often make mistakes when choosing a photographer. Here’s what to avoid.
1. Waiting Too Long
Photographers book out FAST. Like, 12–18 months in advance fast. If you have a date and venue, book your photographer next.
2. Choosing on Price Alone
Budget matters, but your photos last a lifetime. If you choose the cheapest option without checking quality, you might regret it.
3. Not Looking at Full Galleries
Instagram is the highlight reel. Ask to see full wedding galleries so you know what your photographer delivers from start to finish.
4. Ignoring Personality Fit
You’ll spend your whole day with your photographer. If you don’t vibe, it’s going to feel awkward. Find someone you actually like.
5. Skipping the Contract
A contract protects you and the photographer. It should clearly state what you’re getting, when, and for how much.
Pro Tip: Book early, ask the right questions, and choose someone who gets your style.
