It's all very well me telling you all this online. But I honestly believe choosing your wedding photographer (and videographer) is one of the most important wedding decisions you'll make. But more important than the images is the human connection. So allow me to give you some crucial advice:
LOVE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER!
I’m not talking about loving their work, their shiny website or their expensive cameras. I’m talking about loving them, their personality and their calming nature.
On your wedding day your photographer will be with you more than your Maid of Honour, more than your Mum, more, even, than your Groom.
They are with you in the hectic parts of the day when they have to tell the girls to get dressed as time is suddenly disappearing. They are with you when you no one else is sure how to button the dress. They get up in your business and pull your spanx down to smooth it for you.
When you can’t find where you laid down your flowers for the 10th time or what you need to do next, they are there. They make sure your day runs as smoothly as possible and their actions play a huge role of how that day goes.
They make sure the Groomsmen behave and tell them not to take that last shot before the ceremony. They KNOW how to put the buttonholes on (honestly, EVERY wedding!) They're there to hype the boys up and make them forget there’s a camera in their face and that taking pictures isn’t that bad.
They are also with you in the quiet moments when you’re alone and about to walk down the aisle to a new life. To hand you a tissue before you have to ask. To give you that reassuring look that 'you’ve got this'. A camera in one hand and your veil in the other…
Most of the time you’ll end up with beautiful wedding photos regardless but honestly, take my advice... love your photographer.
