“Find someone who has the same kind of energy as you.”

Any couple wants a perfect wedding day as a momentous occasion. A wedding day must be one of the most unforgettable days because it is a major turning point in your life.

You need to reminisce about your vows, the kiss, the smile, the first dance, the confetti’s been swept away and the last of the wedding cake has been eaten. Every moment of this has to be documented in tangible memories. To make your magnificent moments into tangible memories, you need to hire a wedding photographer who fits your expected style, your budget, and your personality.

Choosing a wedding photographer that you completely trust and get along with is not easy. You must make sure that you vibe with them, that they make you happy and can put you at ease.

You have to acknowledge that various photographers have different shooting styles, editing styles, personalities, and experiences. There are many choices for you to pick the most suitable one.

To help brides and grooms choose the right professional for their wedding day, Danang-based DNX Wedding is sharing 5 tips for couples looking to opt for a prospective wedding photographer for their special day.

Hopefully, these tips will help you make the right decision! Read below for our advice.

View wedding photography as an investment. Your wedding might last a day or a weekend, but you’ll have these photographs forever. They’re going to live on the walls of your home, and you’ll return to them whenever you’re feeling nostalgic about the day.

Therefore, allocating a major amount of your overall budget to photography is logical. Most couples spend between 8 and 15% of their total money on this.

Each photographer has his or her own distinct style, which is reflected in the photographer’s portfolio of work.

Before you choose a photographer, get into research mode.

At this point, you’ll start to notice how many distinct types of wedding photography there are at this point: fine art (dreamy, reminiscent of fashion magazine editorials), documentary (candid, off-the-cuff), conventional, modern…

When you’re looking at a photographer’s photos, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know what style you’re looking for, all you need to ask yourself is, do you like their work?

The next step is to make a list of wedding photographers who you like most. In this step, there is something you have to know:

• Are they available on your wedding date?
• Do they get accustomed to Danang geography?
• Do they know the breathtaking sceneries in Danang?
• Can you afford them?

You need to know whether the photography fee offered by the wedding photographer is in your calculated budget and whether they are available on your big day or not.

You can contact them for the question, once you’ve received responses from a few photographers, you can choose the right one.

If no one can fit you, just go back to the first step, simply repeat the process with another one or two photographers until you have a clear favorite.

When you choose the most suitable wedding photographer for you, don’t hesitate to set an in-person meeting and have a chinwag with him. In this process, you and your photographer have a chance to build a rapport.

When chatting with your wedding photographer, give them lots of information about the style and vibe of your day. This will give everyone a sense of whether or not it’s a good match.

This is also a good opportunity to ask your photographer about themselves, and how they like to work on the day.

The old saying “you get what you pay for” generally applies to wedding photographers, and the price for full-day coverage is wide-ranging. When meeting with photographers you are interested in, be sure to find the answers to the following questions before negotiating the fee:

• How many images are generally shot versus how many are delivered in the end?
• What is the average turnaround time to receive photos after post-production?
• Does the photographer offer backup equipment, file storage, and album production?
• What rate should the day go into overtime?

If you’re feeling nervous about the day you get photo-taking, we recommend booking a test run ahead of your wedding date. Not only will it give you some gorgeous engagement photos, but it’ll also give you more time to bond with your wedding photographer.

When you and a wedding photographer bond with each other, they will better capture your emotions—your love, joy, and calm. Years from now, your images will be all you have to relive and reflect on the emotions on your big day, and you’ll be grateful to spend the money on a photographer.

In addition to the wedding photographer, you also need a wedding planner, wedding designer, and videographer…
