Q & A What to look for when hiring a Wedding Photographer?
– Experience

Another really important thing to consider when you hire a photographer is their level of experience. You want to hire someone that is as experienced at shooting weddings, has shot a lot of weddings and that is their primary focus. These days there’s so many photographers out there and everyone has a digital camera and there’s a lot of photographers that call themselves a wedding photographer because they have a digital camera and it’s important that you’re hiring someone who’s shot a lot of weddings, had a lot of experience in shooting weddings.
It takes years to develop the intuition and to develop the understanding of where you need to be and when and the ability to kind of anticipate what’s coming up next.

I’ve shot over a hundred weddings now and I know, the experience that I have gained from that and how much it’s helped me and how invaluable it is for me in the weddings I shoot now, having that experience, that knowledge and that ability to anticipate moments and know where I need to be in order to get great photos.

So the experience of the photographer I think is something that shouldn’t be overlooked. You want someone who’s experienced in shooting weddings and not learning on your own.
