Depending on where you're getting married will make a difference on who you choose as a photographer. This is because outside in Hawaii there is almost always a lot more light than necessary for photographs.

Depending on where you’re getting married will make a difference on who you choose as a photographer. This is because outside in Hawaii there is almost always a lot more light than necessary for photographs. This is both good and bad and your photographer should have a lot of experience for an indoor/outdoor wedding so your pictures are the best they can be.

When you find the photographer of your choice be sure to see plenty of their past wedding pictures. Mix and match the photos from different weddings so you can see from year to year and indoor or outdoor wedding pictures. This will give you the variety you need to see their experience level and standard of quality.

If you find a photographer that can show wedding pictures from their collection that happen to be done by location then you may be able to request examples from your wedding site and this will help you see what your wedding memories will be.

There are different styles of photography and you should decide what style you want because it will help you find the right photographer for your wedding. Some styles include traditional, photojournalistic, candid, and more. Asking for a mix of styles is acceptable as well since you will sometimes want posed shots and others to be candid.

Many times wedding photos are delivered in a combination of ways including printed out, on a cd, or some other way. Just be sure that you know what to expect because if you’re printing your own photos there will be additional cost for the prints. Plus if you’re hoping for a cd and you don’t get it you’ll be disappointment.

The details are where most people have the hardest time making a decision. However, the biggest question is always about re-prints, which are the extra photos that you (or someone in your family) order weeks or months after your wedding. You want to be sure your photographer is reachable for these, unless he turns over the cd to you and then you can do it yourself at any time.

Photo albums are becoming more popular, especially custom albums, and they can be so adorable if done correctly. Some photographers are true artists when it comes to publishing your custom wedding album. Just ask to see a few samples if you’re interested in this service.

Personality is also important because you’re going to be spending a lot of time with this person and you want to feel comfortable around them. Also finding someone who can disappear when necessary can make for some great candid shots.

For most weddings, the type of photographic equipment is irrelevant but if you’re hoping to have large portraits of your wedding you’ll want to find a photographer who can accommodate this. Usually a medium to large format camera is best for creating quality images of larger sizes. Digital can work as well if the camera is made for it.
