Top 5 Areas To Trust Your Wedding Photographer

Trust is the key ingredient in any relationship, and this is especially true for the relationship you have with your wedding photographer. You chose them to capture the most important day of your life for a reason. While you may have a vision for some of your images, you’ll need to trust your photographer for most of the day. Knowing the top areas to trust your wedding photographer with will not only result in better images but will also relieve some of your stress.

Choosing the Location of the Shot 

Your wedding photographer will have scouted your reception location or the areas around your ceremony site to find the best spots for photos. They’ll know where to get the best light and the best scenery.

Time of Day to Shoot 

Lighting is crucial for beautiful images. Natural light is the best lighting setting, but not all times of day are equal. Your photographer will know the best time for those gorgeous outdoor shots without harsh shadows on your face. They’ll also know when to sneak outside for quick portraits.

Poses 

Trust your photographer to know the most flattering poses for you. They can see how the light illuminates you and what’s in the background. While some photographers will consider your picture ideas, don’t be offended if they suggest something different. You’ll be working with limited time and light on your big day, so you don’t want to waste either.

Editing Your Photos 

Trust your photographer’s creative eye during the editing process. They’ll know which images look best in black and white, color, or cropped. They’ll also know which ones to add special effects to, if any. Editing is part of their style, and that’s one of the reasons you hired them. Trust them to use their skills to make each image stunning.

Handling Printing Your Photos 

Your photographer knows where to get quality prints. They probably have a long-term relationship with a reputable printing company. The worst thing you can do is order a large print only to find that the colors are off, the image is blurry, or it simply looks dull. Knowing where to get your prints made, what size they should be, and which ones will look best in albums, wall art, or thank-you cards is part of the package when you hire a professional photographer. Trust them and listen to their advice.
