We’re avid fans of weddings and great photography, and wedding photography is one of the most important, but mysterious parts of planning a wedding.
We attended a wedding this weekend where the photographer looked down on shooting a still life of the bride’s dress and shoes! So it pays to discuss these things in advance, and to have a list of shots that you have your heart set on.
That said, be open and spontaneous. When you find a photographer you love, trust them to cover all the candid moments that make your day special.
One of our favorite shoots is this series by Sean Taylor Photography, where the couple is clearly playful and comfortable. Trust your gut. If you don’t feel uninhibited when you interview your photographer, you won’t feel that way on the day of the wedding.
A great photographer listens, inspires trust, and is a consummate professional. Spend what you can to hire someone really special!
