so many choices…
As far as your inspiration goes, Instagram is obviously fantastic but trends do prevail on there and these come and go. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you about the hundreds of wedding websites available for you to peruse. I am on Instagram and Facebook and I follow lots of bridal magazines and other wedding related folk, which means my feed is constantly filled with ideas and inspiration from all over the world.
wedding fairs
People still attend wedding fairs, particularly if there is one being held at your wedding reception venue of choice, and there are huge wedding shows held across the country throughout the year.
Inspiration from my website
For your photographs, you obviously need to choose your wedding photographer first and foremost on whether you like the photographs shown online. The images on my website are organised into categories on my portfolio, e.g. details/ couple’s shots/ candid moments. And then there are full weddings in my “real weddings” section. This should give you a feel of the styles I use and what you can expect from your wedding photos.
special requests
I personally am happy to take special requests. Some people do like to send me links to images on Pinterest or on the email or WhatsApp, which is fine as a guide as to what you might like. In general though, if you’re hiring me to take your wedding photographs, it should be my style of photography that you love.
It is absolutely fine for you to request something quirky, like having the groomsmen jumping off a wall (see below – which was slightly terrifying!) or wanting to incorporate some props into your photos, but please trust in your photographer and give them some freedom (and of course time) to do what they do best too.
