A Beginner’s Guide to Finding the Perfect Photographer For Your Wedding

Having a wedding photoshoot in Singapore will give you your most cherished souvenir. You’ll want to share them as soon as you receive it, and you’ll look at them fifty years from now to remember your vows, first dance, and kiss.

It’s critical to locate a professional that knows your vision for your big day and can document it stylishly when selecting the ideal photographer to capture those unforgettable moments. But you’ll also want someone you can trust and feel comfortable with, as he or she will spend the entire wedding day by your side.

Follow our guide on picking the ideal wedding photographer to locate the proper individual to entrust with this responsibility.

Book your venue in advance.

After you’ve secured your venue, hiring a photographer is a good idea. Book his or her services around nine months before the wedding (or a year if your photographer is popular).

Consult your social network for suggestions.

Ask recently married friends whose wedding photographs you adored, and get recommendations from your wedding coordinator or the management of the venue where your reception will be held.

Determine your preferred photographic style.

Do your research and devote some time to determining your preferred photography style. Perhaps you like a vintage look with more washed-out tones and a nostalgic, dreamlike quality. Once you’ve identified a handful of photographers whose aesthetic aligns with your own, send an email to each one inquiring about their availability on your wedding date and their rates. If the individuals you are interested in are available on your chosen date and their rates are within your budget, you can schedule initial consultations.

Consult with the photographers.

Before your first meeting, most photographers will send you an email with a link to their portfolio. Verify that the portfolio includes recent weddings the photographer has captured from beginning to end, not just a compilation of highlights from dozens of weddings. This is a more precise method for evaluating the photographer’s work. Inquire if the photographer has previously taken photographs at your venue, and if so, seek to see those images.

Consider the fee.

Some photographers’ costs include albums, prints, and high-resolution images (saved to a CD or USB drive); others have a fixed or hourly rate and charge you à la carte for any photographs or albums you choose. Numerous photographers provide a price list that explains the various packages they provide at different price ranges. Ensure that you comprehend the contents. Ask how long the photographer will be with you and if there will be a second shooter, as you will receive more detailed shots if there is one. If you are on a tight budget, you can also look for Singapore bridal packages that come with wedding photography.

Follow your gut.

After evaluating the work and costs of each photographer and narrowing down your selections, it is time to make a decision. Remember that you’ll be spending the whole wedding day with the photographer, so you should feel entirely at ease with him or her.
