And if the answer is yes, then go ahead and check one more thing,

Are they matching Your Style?

So, it’s mandatory to make sure that your photographer can send you in the imagination world with the show of his lens art. Yes or No. And if he became successful in giving you the goosebumps, then yes, he can be your dream wedding photographer.

Yaa! To perform a check, you can visit their social media portals or other media sources available on the internet. It’ll give you some glimpses of their work.

Now the next thing comes on their credibility. For that, you can

Go through their Testimonials.

Now in this step, you can also call them and ask for testimonials. They’ll happily send you some of their clients’ testimonials who’ve reviewed them.

You can ask the customers themself, that, what was the service level of the photographers to them, and what kind of work they got delivered from them. And even you can check on the web, their reviews & rating.

One thing more,

Make sure that they have experience of at least 5+ years in the relevant field. And if it’s more than 10 Years, then nothing is better than that. That’s Great!

Now we need to check,

What’s in the Portfolio?

Yes! Now, You need to ask them for their portfolio. Only social media pictures can’t define the complete story. Right!

By reviewing their portfolio, you’ll get to know that where the photographers are good and where they need to improve. Like you notice that they’ve covered the bride-groom shots very well, but the family shots need to be better. Check their level of candid photography.

And more things like that.

Well, what if you have checked all the work but still finding something more to satisfy your inner self?

You can do one thing.

If you have decided on your wedding venue, then you can inform the photographers about it. And ask the photographers if they shot there before. If not, then ask them for a previous shoot of a similar venue to yours. It’ll help you attain a much higher satisfaction level. Isn’t it!

So, What’s next?

Hey! You judge everything well you’re too good!

And note, While meeting, you also need to ask some mattering questions to your photographer. Like if you don’t want to linger on for your wedding photos, then,

Count the Delivery Days

Yes, It’s required!
Take some commitment from them that in how many days they’ll make your work ready! Many people face the difficulty of delayed delivery of their photo albums, videos, and other things.

In many cases, photographers keep lingering the work after the wedding. And while the wedding is going on, they’ll be in touch constantly. But later, when the wedding is over, people feel left behind. So make these things clear in advance, Ok!
