HEY LOVEBIRDS!
WITH THE HOLIDAYS ENDING AND A NEW YEAR UNDERWAY WE THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE THE PERFECT TOPIC FOR A NEWSLETTER.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THE HOLIDAYS ARE THE MOST POPULAR TIME OF YEAR FOR COUPLES TO GET ENGAGED?
FOR US AS PHOTOGRAPHERS, THE FIRST FEW MONTHS FOLLOWING THE HOLIDAYS ARE SOME OF OUR BUSIEST MONTHS WITH INQUIRES. BELOW YOU WILL READ WHAT WE THINK ARE THE BIGGEST THINGS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHEN BOOKING AN ENGAGEMENT SESSION. LET’S GET INTO IT...
When it comes to your engagement photos, what’s the biggest thing you need to consider?
...
If you guessed your photographer, you’re absolutely right!! But how do you actually choose the right photographer for you? There are a few things to keep in mind…
1. What is their photography style?
Take a look at their portfolio, their Instagram/facebook and most importantly their website to see what they’ve been up to. Do they have a consistent style that you vibe with? If you’re a laid-back couple, look for photographers with photos you can see yourself being in.
2. How do they make you feel?
When you have a consultation with a photographer, consider how well you gel with them. Could you be friends with this person? Do they make you laugh? Are they making you feel catered to? Are they educating you?
3. What are their past clients saying?
Read the testimonials a photographer has available. Do the clients writing reviews sound like you? Does what they’re saying speak to you as a person?
4. How much do they cost?
With the time, effort and money that goes into planning a wedding, pricing does matter at the end of the day. Are they within your budget? Are engagement sessions included in their packages?
When it comes to choosing a photographer, remember that what matters at the end of the day is how you feel. Putting in the time to choose the right photographer for you will make sure you get photos that tell your story the way it deserves to be told.
