A Practical Wedding A Practical Wedding: We're Your Wedding Planner. Wedding Ideas for Brides, Bridesmaids, Grooms, and More

The time of year you may well be getting ready to pick a wedding photographer. We do a lot of work with wedding photographers on APW (they make up the majority of our amazing sponsors). And if there is one goal I have for matching photographers with clients, it’s that the RIGHT matches are made. You want a wedding photographer whose work you love, and who’s personally a match for you. Any photographer worth their salt wants the right client for them, not just any client. For some wedding vendors, you really don’t need to care about their philosophy. Once you’ve narrowed down photographers whose work you like, and whose philosophy you seem to gel with, set up an in-person meeting (or G+ hangout). Before we get too far into this idea of, “Just hire someone whose work makes you feel happy inside,” let’s have a quick reality check. Every photographer is going to have their strengths and weaknesses. A lot of the work in modern photography is done in post-processing.
