How do I find wedding photographers near me?
Start by searching our list of wedding photographers, then compare reviews and costs. After finding and contacting potential services:
- Decide which photography style and aesthetic best suits your wedding.
- Ask for referrals from friends, family, your wedding planner, the venue, and other wedding vendors.
- Read their reviews on Fash and Google.
- Choose a pro who specializes in wedding photography.
- Interview your favorite photographers and discuss your ideas and vision.
- Ask the photographer about their pre-wedding, wedding day, and post-wedding process.
- Schedule an engagement photo shoot to allow you to work with the photographer before the wedding day.
- Get a detailed contract in writing that breaks down everything included in your package, the payment plan, and the refund and cancellation policy.
- Discuss the photo usage and printing rights to confirm how you and the photographer can use the images. Photographers typically retain the copyright to the images, giving them the right to use the photos for marketing and social media.
- Beware of basing the decision solely on pricing. The photographer with the lowest price may lack experience or isn't as good as local competitors.
After asking questions and verifying their credentials, hire the photographer in your area.
