How to find a wedding photographer

Looking for a wedding photographer 

Sometimes we get consumes by the world, stress, and obviously the planning of a wedding. Couple’s who are engaged sometimes have a difficulty finding the right wedding photographer for their special day .   Years, months, days will pass, but the wonderful moments created by wedding professionals around , will live forever in your memories. Good  wedding photographer’s are  hard to come by. Unfortunately , there are no guidelines to this type of field. For example, Doctors,, teachers, accountants, require many years of schooling and sometimes internships before they can start to perform their regular duties . However,wedding photographer’s are considered artists, so it is an open book . There are no guidelines to art, it is whatever the person feels , and he/she expresses it through their photographs.

When a couple gets engaged, first comes the venue, once that is decided, usually the photography is the next in line.  A photographer that will capture your moments , with your vision making your day a  memorable one.  A wedding photographer with an artistic sense can give what you have been dreaming of.

Here are some tips on how to determine the right wedding photographer for your big day .

First and foremost, you need to determine your style. Every photographer is different , therefore really study your vision for your wedding day. Many times you can look on google or Pinterest to get a feel for what your style is.  Really determine the style before choosing your wedding photographer. For instance, 2 styles that I come into contact often are traditional vs modern . A traditional photographer, is a photographer who has a classical style . Focuses on the formalities , and usually repeats his/herself in many situations. The photograph’s and subject may change, but the inspiration is very classical . A modern wedding photographer, implements many aspects that  aren’t ordinary. For example, something very popular could be the use of photographing the subject without actually looking at the camera. These types of moments are referred to as “candid ” moments.  If you prefer a family oriented wedding photographer most likely , a classical photographer is what you are searching for .  However, if you prefer your wedding to look like a love store unfold’s then a modern photographer is what you are looking for .

There are many ways to find a wedding photographer .  There are many websites for this purpose. You have to use specific words concerning the type of your desired wedding photography. You can search “Wedding photographer / Wedding photography” with the actual city or state of reference.

Reference the wedding photographer you have found with other wedding websites such as (wedding wire, the knot, long island bride and groom , etc). While checking the work is important, also cross reference the searches with reviews by clients. Also , place a phone call to the wedding photographer  and get to know him/her. Get a feel for your comfort level, is this someone you want on your big day. You should takes some notes about what you like related to the photos, reviews, personalities, and compared them.

It is not possible for you to visit every single wedding photographer out there, but you can pick from 3.  When visit their studio location , find out if they have ever been to your venue. Ask them to show you samples such as , albums, prints, thank you cards, also Entire wedding samples. This will help you make the right decision for your big day . Choosing the photographer for your wedding is a difficult decision. Give yourself some time  to make this decision. When you feel comfortable and sure about your decision then sign the contract with your photographer.

Mark & Sylvia Old Lyme CT Art Gallery Wedding

Mark & Sylvia Old Lyme CT Art Gallery Wedding 

Old Lyme CT is a wonderful History and preserved little town . Despite the long drive from our studio location in Sea Cliff NY (approx 3:15 min ). It was so nice to take a little road trip because after meeting Sylvia and Mark for the first time on their engagement portrait session, we knew it was well worth it . 
The "Lyme" in Lyme disease was named after the town. It was discovered in 1975 after a mysterious outbreak of what appeared to be juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in children who lived in Lyme and Old Lyme.
Considering their history , Sylvia and Mark decided to host their wedding at one of the art galleries in Old lyme called The Lyme Arts Association . What an amazing and historical location. It had a sort of authentic and Vintage feeling.  
Our day began at the Marriott hotel where we started with the prep such as : rings, shoes, invitation , and any other type of jewelry collections. Also Sylvia's dress was made just for her. it was very modern with no traditional touches. A normal wedding dress is usually white, in this case she had a off-white with a touch of blue . A mutual friend of ours Christine from Piece of Cake Events  introduced Mark & Sylvia to us. It is always a pleasure working with her and her staff. They do have a special touch and their process makes everyone's day much easier.
After we Sylvia got into her dress we immediately went down stairs and we used the side of the hotel for the first look . We were worried that running a little behind would of affected us.
Originally we were scheduled to go to a barn and have a small mini-portrait session there however, with the time situation we decided to skip it.
Once we showed up at the Art galleries I started to scout the place and collaborate with my associates to see the best possible scenario for the portraits & and video. We had plenty of ideas so we started to execute them.
Mark was a little nervous during the shoot , but the more we spoke to him , the more comfortable he started to feel . This was perfect because we wanted that natural interaction that I saw during their New Haven Engagement session .
We Also enjoyed the ceremony because of Mark & Sylvia vows. Everyone in the audience that were listening showed  compassion and smiles.
Everyone on the dance-floor was really funny which gave us wonderful moments to capture.
I know these two will have a wonderful life together and their new adventure when they relocated down south for Sylvia New Job opportunity .
