Define your budget

Your finances are a good place to start. Determining how much you can spend will help you decide what type of services or package you can afford from the photographer you choose. If you want your photographer to cover the entire day, then you’ll pay more.

Location

For capturing the best wedding photos, many couples understand it is important to choose a beautiful location. Pick a place that aligns with your vision for your wedding day. Always remember to consult the professional you’ve hired. They may know of a location you didn’t even know existed. Once you have found the perfect venue, take time to walk through the area with your photographer to determine the best scenes. This way you don’t have to struggle with the details on your wedding day. You could also take pre-wedding day photos at a beach, a botanical garden, or the mountains.Regardless of the location, make sure this is an uncrowded environment both of you enjoy.
