Wedding Photographers

Richmond Wedding Photographers


There is one wedding vendor that almost every couple hires no matter what worries they have regarding their wedding. Documenting your wedding is an absolute must. The question though that you need to answer is what style of photography are you seeking for your wedding day. Of course, there is always the traditional look and feel if that is something you really like. But today, more and more couples are breaking free from the traditional posed shots and instead opting for more of a unique story telling approach when it comes to photography. Some people call this a photojournalistic style. In this approach, you will see very few posed pictures. The philosophy is to capture unique angles and for the photographer to be as artistic as possible in terms of their approach to your special day. It becomes more about capturing the events of the day in a relaxed way. If this interests you at all, you will need to seek out a wedding photographer in the Richmond area that can provide you with this kind of photography. And that means you need to start doing some digging because you will soon find out that there are numerous options in the Richmond area. But you need the professional who fits what you want. So, your first step is to start researching local photographers to see who might be worth a phone call. You can search for “wedding photographers in Richmond” or you could look up wedding sites like Wedding Wire or The Knot. You can also ask people you know if they can recommend anyone. Or you could tap into your other vendors. Vendors can be a great source of information in terms of other vendors because if they have been in business for any length of time, they will know a lot of vendors. Once you have a few names, find out if they would be available to capture your wedding on your specific date. For the ones that are available, you can use the guide below to zero in on the candidate who would be best to capture your big day.

As mentioned above, photographic style is extremely important. Take some time to read up on various styles that are out there. Decide on the one that best fits what you are interested in seeing in your finished product. This is the story of your life together and the beginning of a journey, make sure that it is going to be told in a way that pleases you first and foremost. There are numerous styles to consider: photojournalism, fashion, fine-art and more. Once you have made this decision, you can tailor your search to ultimately find the professional who will be best for you.

You will need to meet any wedding photographer that you are considering for your wedding and conduct what we like to call an interview. Have them bring their portfolio of wedding images to the interview. As you are looking at all of the pictures, you need to decide if their style coincides with what you are looking for. Talk quite a bit about their experience. Word of warning here, do not hire anyone with limited or no wedding experience. Even if it is a photographer who has experience in other types of photography, that doesn't mean they are going to do well as a wedding photographer. So, make sure that they are a veteran of many wedding campaigns. This means they will know where to setup, how to adjust the aperture, and how to work with your guests. Check out any reviews you can find on them. This could be produced simply by typing their name into a Google search. You might be amazed at what will pop up. If you find quite a few negative comments about a particular candidate, move onto the next name on your list.

You also want to make sure that they are able to show you full wedding shoots, not just finished albums. This again will not only show you their style, but it will give you a sense as to whether you really like the way in which they go about their business. If you are seeing a lot about their style that just doesn't mesh with what you want, then maybe they are just not a good fit for you. What about their likability? Do you think you would get along with them. Do they offer the option of a second shooter? This can be a great benefit. Talk to them about what it can do for you. Look at their packages. Do you see one that fits exactly what you want? If the price is right, then you should be able to zero in on one of the candidates that you interviewed as your chosen vendor.
