Important tips when choosing a photographer for your wedding
A wedding is a special event in the life of a couple and the memories of it should be preserved forever. A big part of those memories are the photos taken on that special day. For this reason, it is important that you choose an experienced and talented wedding photographer for your wedding. Here are some tips to help you make the right choice:
Why a wedding photographer?
Wedding photography is the living centerpiece of your special day - it captures the precious emotions and unforgettable moments that celebrate your love. A wedding photographer is not just a picture-taker, but a storyteller who captures the uniqueness of your love and preserves it for eternity. From the tender touches to the tears of joy, every moment is precious and deserves to be immortalized in breathtaking images. Booking a wedding photographer means you can relax and enjoy the moment while the professional ensures that no emotion or memory is lost.
How can you get authentic wedding photos?
The sympathy between the wedding couple and the wedding photographer is very important when it comes to finding the right photographer for your wedding. Good chemistry between you can help you feel comfortable and relaxed during the photo shoot. This in turn will come across in the photos and contribute to a better overall effect.
A good wedding photographer understands the importance of this relationship and works with the wedding couple to make sure they feel comfortable and that the photos are authentic and unique. A good likeability can help you to trust each other and be willing to open up and relax during the photo shoot.
So when you are looking for the right wedding photographer, you should not only look at their portfolio and references, but also whether you like each other. A good conversation can tell you a lot and help you decide whether the wedding photographer is the right one for you or not.
What is a wedding reportage?
A wedding reportage is a chronological record of the day, from the preparation to the celebration. The wedding photographer accompanies the wedding couple throughout the day and captures every special moment, including the ceremony, portraits, dinner and celebration. The wedding reportage is a wonderful reminder of the special day.
What is the photographic style of the pictures?
Every photographer has their own style, which you may or may not like. Find out about the style on the website or blog and decide whether the type of pictures suit your taste. Make sure you ask to see (at least) a complete wedding and not just the pretty pictures on the website. What does the finished product look like? You can see a little of it here on the website in my portfolio.
How long should you book a wedding photographer?
For the duration of the photographic accompaniment on the wedding day, it is advisable for the wedding photographer to take photos from the preparation to the ceremony. Some wedding couples also choose a "first look" before the ceremony, which leaves more time for photos with the wedding couple. I will photograph you throughout the day, including at sunset and later at night when it is already dark.
It is advisable to talk to the wedding photographer of your choice about your expectations and schedules in order to determine the optimal duration of the photographic support on the day. As an experienced wedding photographer, I am happy to give you tips and know how we can achieve the best results, starting with the location, time of day, lighting conditions, etc....
When are the wedding photos taken?
Most wedding photos are taken during the photoshoot, which usually takes place shortly after the exchange of rings and the saying of "I do". Formal and informal photos can also be taken during the day, depending on the preferences of the wedding couple.

What do guests do during the photo shoot?
During the photo shoot, your guests can relax and chat with other guests. It's also a good idea to provide a reception, a bar, a caricaturist to keep your guests occupied while you and your partner complete the photo shoot.
When do you get the wedding photos?
The question of the delivery time of the wedding photos is of crucial importance. The time frame can vary greatly depending on the provider - from "immediately on the same day" to "a year later". As an experienced wedding photographer, I offer you a quick solution: the day after your wedding, you will receive the first preview images via a smartphone web app. Two weeks after your wedding, I will present you with all the final photos and the first draft of your photo album. This way you can relax and enjoy your honeymoon and be sure that your wedding memories will be ready when you return.
