1 - Know your preferred style of photography The first step in choosing a wedding photographer is to know your preferred style of photography. There are many different photographic styles, such as reportage, classic, vintage, bohemian and contemporary. Each offers a unique shooting experience, so it is important to understand which one best suits your needs and preferences.

 

2- Find out the photographer's previous work Once you know what style you want for your wedding photographs, it is important to look up the photographer's previous work to see if his style matches your preferences. Looking at his shots on Instagram, Flickr or his website is a great way to understand how he takes photographs and what level of quality he offers.

 

3- Ask for recommendations One of the best things to do when choosing a wedding photographer is to ask for recommendations from friends and relatives who have already organised their wedding. This way, you can get reliable references and learn about the previous experiences of other couples who have already gone through this search.

 

4 - Check availability and price After having selected a few photographers who might suit your needs, it is important to check their availability for the wedding day. Also, you need to understand what their price is and what is included in the photography package. This could include the number of photographs, the format in which they will be delivered, the number of working hours and the number of photographers present.

 

5 - Have an interview with the photographer To be sure you have chosen the right photographer, it is advisable to meet him in person or by video call to get an idea of his character and personality. During the meeting, you can discuss your expectations and needs, ask about the working methods and any special requirements.

 

6 - Check the terms of the contract Finally, it is important to carefully check the terms of the contract you are about to enter into with the photographer. Make sure you understand the clauses relating to the copyright of the photographs, the terms of payment and their return in the event of problems.
