Choosing your wedding photographer is such an exciting and important time in your wedding planning. You may have ideas already about who or what style you would like for your wedding. As someone who is also getting married next year I wanted to share my wisdom from a professional and a personal point of view.

Have you been following a certain someone and just absolutely LOVE their work on Facebook or Instagram? Is there more than one person you would love to capture your day? I would narrow my searches down by looking for a few things in particular!

Do they capture all the little things that you put so much effort into?

You have worked ever so hard carefully decided absolutely everything from your shoes, flowers to even the perfume you have chosen as your signature scent for your wedding day, you certainly want it all capturing. This is something that I find ever so important throughout the wedding day, especially during your bridal preparation! You don't want to miss a single thing!

 Can you see the true emotion in their photographs?

You want to look like you are having the most amazing time (because you actually are having the best day of your life) You want to see this in every single photograph. You want to see the tears of joy, the tears of laughter, the excitement, the joy, the love. It should be bursting out of the photograph.

When I capture another couples day, I always think of how I would feel on my wedding day. I would want to be relaxed and enjoy every second, and definitely not be standing around taking photographs all day. I want all of the candid shots taken throughout the day. The real joy when your bridesmaids see you for the first time in your dress, that moment when you have your first kiss as husband and wife, and especially the parts where all your relatives and friends are putting out their best moves on the dance floor. You want someone that will do all of this for you, and be creative with it!

Have fun and enjoy every moment of your day and you will get the best photographs you could wish for. Don't plan your day around your photographer, just make sure they are there to capture everything that is happening! It is such an exciting time for everybody when you get married. A momentous occasion where after the day is over all you are left with is memories and photographs that you can treasure forever!

Fill your photographs with laughter, light and love and you will have the perfect wedding photographs.

I hope you've enjoyed this little read and it helps you find your perfect wedding photographer!

Lots of love, Charlotte
