1. Start With The Style That Speaks to You
Every photographer has a unique way of storytelling. Some styles lean dreamy and soft, others bold and cinematic, while some feel candid and documentary-like. Spend some time browsing galleries or wedding portfolios to see what makes you feel something.
Common wedding photography styles include:
- Light & Airy
- Warm & Romantic
- Bold & Moody
- Photojournalistic (Documentary)
The key is to choose the style that reflects how you want to remember your day. If the photos make you feel emotional just looking at them, you’re in the right direction.
2. Look for a Photographer Who Captures Genuine Emotion
Your wedding album should feel like
you — not stiff, overly staged poses. Look for a photographer who creates space for genuine laughter, natural movement, and real connection between you and your partner.
When browsing portfolios, ask yourself:
- Do the couples look relaxed or nervous?
- Are the emotions authentic?
- Do the images feel like a story, not just pictures?
Facer Photo focuses on capturing the real moments in between — the quiet hand squeezes, the teary smiles from your parents, the bursts of laughter with your bridesmaids. These become the photos you treasure most.
3. Meet or Talk With Your Photographer Before Booking
Your photographer will be with you more than almost anyone else on your wedding day. It’s important that you feel comfortable together. Schedule a call, video chat, or coffee meet-up to get to know each other.
During the meeting, consider:
- Do they listen to what matters to you?
- Do they explain things clearly?
- Do they have a calm or uplifting presence?
- Do you feel understood and at ease?
If the connection feels natural, that’s a great sign.
4. Ask About Full Wedding Galleries — Not Just Highlights
Most photographers share the best moments on social media, but wedding albums are made up of hundreds of photos taken throughout the day. Ask to view a full gallery to see how your potential photographer handles:
- Indoor vs outdoor lighting
- Ceremony vs reception photos
- Action moments (like first dance & bouquet toss)
- Family and group photos
- Detail shots (rings, decor, invitations, florals)
A full gallery gives you confidence in consistency.
5. Understand What’s Included in Your Package
Wedding photography packages vary from photographer to photographer, so make sure you understand what’s included.
Typical considerations:
- How many hours of coverage?
- Engagement session included?
- One photographer or a second shooter too?
- How many edited images delivered?
- Album or prints included?
Being clear helps avoid surprises later and ensures your day is covered exactly how you want.
6. Trust the Photographer’s Creative Process
Once you’ve chosen your photographer, trust them. They know where light looks best, how to pose you naturally, and how to move through the day to capture every moment beautifully.
Relax. Let yourself enjoy the day. Your joy will reflect naturally in the photos.
