Ashlyn’s Tips for Choosing a Photographer

Wedding photography is an investment and that’s something I didn’t understand as a bride so Ashlyn was on today sharing with us her expert advice on why wedding photography is so important.

See it as an investment.

It’s totally normal to see photography as another thing to check off the box. But besides your new spouse, your photos are one of the few things you get to keep from your wedding day so it’s so important to see it as an investment. And if you look at it as something to get a discount on, that’s the type of experience you’ll have but if you see it as an investment you’ll be able to find a photographer that will get you your dream photos.

Dig deep.

Ashlyn’s biggest tips to brides is to look past their instagram, at all of their work so you know what you’re getting. This is someone you’re going to spend a lot of time with so ask questions and dig a little deeper to find someone you’re going to have fun with and also someone who knows what they’re doing.

How to choose a wedding photographer:

Find a few you love and reach out

Once you find them and reach out for general pricing, check out all their work, how they work with different types of lighting, see if they’re professional, ask them to send galleries, and ask questions.

Big Takeaways

A good photographer can really capture the emotion of those special moments and that’s something you can hold on to forever and feel forever. And just remind you of the happiest day of your life and how in love you are.
