START LOOKING EARLY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great photographers book up fast, so about a year before\nyour wedding, start looking around. Begin with recommendations from couples you\nknow. Check out Instagram and online portfolios. Once you find someone you\nlike, ask to see their full wedding shots (not just the best ones on their\nsite). Arrange a meeting to get a sense of how you mesh with the photographer\n(because he\/she will be around you and your guests the entire day).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USE A CRITICAL EYE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While reviewing photos from other weddings, see if the\nphotographer\u2019s shots align with what you have in mind, such as a mix of candid\nimages as well as posed groups. Are the images clear, do the people look\nrelaxed or like deer in the headlights?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LOOK AT THE PACKAGES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standard photography packages tend to cover roughly eight hours and include the \u201cgetting ready\u201d part through the reception. However, it\u2019s always a good idea to double-check; overtime is typically charged at a higher rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PAY ATTENTION TO LIGHTING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural lighting should be used to your advantage whenever\npossible; with indoor shots, seek out areas with windows. When you\u2019re outside,\nlook for shady spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRACTICE YOUR POSES BEFOREHAND<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get comfortable before the shoot by giving your poses a test\ndrive. Experts recommend the following: turn your torso about 45 degrees\ntowards the photographer and keep your neck up. Don\u2019t let your hands just hang\nthere: hold a bouquet (or your partner\u2019s hand) or put your hand on your hip.\nYou might even have a friend take some \u201ctest shots\u201d so you and your partner\nknow what works best when the main event rolls around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
