Choosing the right wedding photography package can be a cumbersome task for couples as they try to venture through all the options and possibilities. With the right photographer and the perfect package, you can ensure that those treasured memories are captured effortlessly.

In this article, I wanted to guide you to the top 5 tips which are necessary for finding the perfect wedding photography package for your special day.

1. Consider Your Photography Needs

When choosing a wedding photography package, you should take the time to consider how many photos and what type of shots you will need for your wedding. Do you want some candid photos or prefer posed shots? Will you need post-editing or want color prints? Thinking about these details beforehand will help ensure that you find exactly the right package for your special day as this can effect the duration and package you wish to acquire.

2. Set a Photographic Style You Like

One of the most important tips for choosing a wedding photography package is to look for a photographer that has a style you like. Every photographer is unique and offers different packages with varying levels of coverage, quality, and artistic style. Before you begin your search for the perfect photography package, it’s important that you understand what aesthetic appeals to you so that you can find a photographer who will produce quality photos in your desired style.

3. Check the Details of The Package

Make sure to review all the details that come with your chosen photography package. Consider how many hours of coverage you will receive, what type of photos it includes, and the costs associated with additional elements like prints, extra prints and post-production services. If a package doesn’t have everything you need, ask the photographer if they can customize it for your special day.

4. Investigate Photographer Reputations

Before you settle on a photographer, take the time to research the photographers in your area. Check out reviews from past couples who have hired that photographer, read online forums and ask questions to gain more information. It’s important to make sure the photographer is experienced with weddings and will be able to provide the quality of photos that you need and deserve. Additionally, ensure that the photographer has good communication skills and is able to keep up with your needs during planning.

5. Take a Look at Their Work and Style

Before you decide on a wedding photographer and a package, take some time to browse their portfolio and get a feel for their style. It’s important that your expectations are met in terms of quality, design, creative elements appear in your photos and the overall atmosphere of the shoot. When you review portfolio samples make sure you look at the variety of photographs they have taken in different settings. Enquire about photo editing options such as black & white images or special effects as these are usually customised extras which may incur additional costs.

In my case, I have decided not to have a tailored approach to each of my clients. The number of hours of coverage, any additional shootouts which may be required and any prints or albums are all available to the client as a tailore made solution. Each couple has its own specific needs which need to be catered for, and therefore for me all proposals are tailor made.
