Looking for a photographer? These 5 tips will help you find the right one
1. Start your search in good time. Booking a photographer is often one of the first steps in planning a wedding or event. If you want a professional photographer, book them at least six months in advance.
2. Set your budget. Based on your must-haves, work out how much you want to spend on photography. If the photos are high on your list, you might opt for an experienced top professional. A perfect choice, but one that naturally comes with a price tag!
3. Decide which style appeals to you. Think in advance about the photographic style that suits you, from documentary-style reportage to a sophisticated fine art or editorial look. Browse the portfolios of various photographers before getting in touch. If a style immediately appeals to you, you’ll know you’ve found the right one!
4. Arrange an introductory meeting. Make sure you meet the photographer before accepting a quote. This will help you gauge whether they’re really the right fit for you and your celebration. The more you discuss your expectations, the better you’ll be able to assess whether you’re a good match.
5. Create a mood board. Prepare for the introductory meeting with a mood board full of examples of photos that appeal to you. This will give the photographer a clear picture of your style and preferences straight away.
What styles of photography are there?
Every photographer has their own signature style. These are the styles you’ll come across most often, so you can choose the look that suits you best:
- Documentary or reportage photography: spontaneous, unposed images that capture the story of your day as it unfolds. Ideal if you love genuine, natural moments full of emotion.
- Fine art photography: refined, atmospheric images with a strong focus on light, composition and detail. Often soft, romantic and timeless in style.
- Editorial photography: a posed, magazine-worthy style with an eye for styling and staging, inspired by fashion spreads. Stylish and distinctive.
- Portrait photography: carefully crafted portraits of you, your partner and your guests, with an eye for posture, light and expression.
- Photojournalism: closely related to the documentary style, with an emphasis on capturing your day authentically and chronologically.
Many photographers combine several styles to create their own signature style. You should therefore always view the photographer’s portfolio so that you can see exactly how your photos will be edited and delivered.
FAQ for photographers
That’s entirely up to you: you can book a photographer for part of the celebration, a photo shoot, or for the whole day and night until the early hours. If the photographer is staying for a full day, please provide lunch, an afternoon snack and dinner. Discuss in advance which moments you definitely want captured and which style best suits your celebration, so that you can look forward to the most beautiful images.
Choose a photographer whose style appeals to you straight away. Every photographer has their own signature style, ranging from photojournalism and documentary reportage to a softer fine art or editorial look. So be sure to look at their portfolio beforehand, so you can see exactly how your photos will be edited and delivered. Are you getting married? Then it’s best to choose a specialist wedding photographer who will capture your big day in the style that suits you both.
That depends on your preferences and the type of celebration. Two photographers will capture more images from different angles, ensuring you don’t miss a single emotion. For a large event, a second photographer may be needed to cover all the key moments. Whichever choice you make, make clear arrangements in advance about what you expect.
A professional photographer captures the most important moments and turns them into lasting memories. A talented photographer captures precisely those emotions and details that would otherwise be lost. This way, you can be sure of receiving high-quality images that you’ll still enjoy looking back on years later.
That’s a personal choice. Photos capture your day in still images, whilst video adds movement, sound and extra emotion. Many couples deliberately choose both, and sometimes even opt for a photographer and videographer who work well together. If you want to be able to look back on – and listen to – your vows and speeches later on, a videographer is a wonderful addition.
According to our National Wedding Survey, you can expect to pay an average of 2,000 to 3,500 euros for a wedding photographer; comprehensive packages can cost up to around 5,000 euros. The price depends on the number of hours, the number of photographers, post-production and the final products provided, such as an album. Read more about the cost of a wedding in this article.
