What to look for in a Wedding Photographer in Boston

Posted by iWedPlanner LLC on April 13th, 2016

If you want to remember your special day, hire a reliable wedding photographer in Boston. How will you look back on your wedding if all you have are blurry or unflattering photos? According to wedding planners, a wedding photographer or wedding photography package should account for 10% of your entire wedding budget. It’s also important to hire a wedding photographer at least six months before the wedding, as this gives you enough time to get test shots. It’s a good idea to have the same photographer for your pre-nuptials as well as your actual wedding day. Here are five important things you need to look for in a wedding photographer in Boston:

1.    Style –It’s important that the style the photographer has coincides with your theme as well as your preferences. Some photographers specialize in romantic, portraiture, edgy and bold, documentary, and classic portraiture.

2.    Connection –You should have a good working relationship with your photographer to achieve better shots. No matter how good a photographer is if you are not comfortable working with him or her, the photos will look unnatural and posed. Open communication and rapport are very important.

3.    Experience – See to it that the photographer you hire is highly experienced in wedding photography. Request for his or her portfolio as well as contacts of previous clients. Aside from checking the quality of photos, you should also contact previous clients and ask about the photographer.

4.    Package – It’s best to hire a photographer that already offers a complete package. Some photographers only charge for their services, while others have the complete package including editing of photos as well as printing and providing albums.
 
5.    Good work ethics – Good photographers are always prepared. They have an extra set of equipment as well as batteries and memory cards. If you have a large wedding, they will usually bring another photographer to be able to cover the entire event. A professional photographer will arrive on time and will do his or her job well.

6.    Professional contract - Review the contract and agree with important points, most importantly the ownership of the photos. Do you own the photos or will the photographer have the right to use your photos, too? Make sure everything is in writing so there will be no problems.
