There are so many resources pointing you to so many photographers – it can be a bit overwhelming! How do you look at them all and decide who to go with?

After consulting magazines, online directories, friends and family, and other resources, start checking out the websites of various Vancouver wedding photographers online. You’ll soon get a sense of the many photography styles being presented, and it won’t be long before you’ll know exactly what kind of photos you’d like for your big day.

You’ll probably find a few photographers whose work you love – contact them to find out if your day is available and then set up a meeting. Nothing is better than a face-to-face conversation to determine if the photographer is right for you! Remember, you’ll spend many hours with this person on your wedding day, so a personality match is a must! You’ll also get a chance to see the products they offer first-hand – some will offer wedding albums, prints, framing and more – some will offer photography services only. So take a close look at the products available, as this can also be an important factor when choosing your wedding photographer.

During your meetings with photographers, there are a few questions you might want to ask:

-What is your style and approach to wedding photography?
-Do you have some good locations to suggest for my wedding day?
-How long have you been a photographer?
-Can I see a full wedding (not just an album)?
-Do you bring back-up equipment?
-What is included in your packages?

Ultimately it’s important to choose your wedding photographer based on their work and personality; if you connect with both, then you’ve found your match!
