How to Choose a Wedding Photographer Easily Based on Their Portfolio

Updated: Aug 30, 2022

The process of wedding planning could be fun and add to the wedding memories, but it can also be tiring, and often when it comes to scheduling the wedding day, exhaustion and lack of experience might show. not the greatest). You hire a wedding photographer who is a good fit for you based on the style of photos you desire, the location of your wedding, the wedding venue, the time and season of the wedding, and some other factors. Following this brief introduction, I believe that answering the questions is now easy.


A sample of romantic wedding photography in Christchurch, New Zealand.


A wedding photographer may take hundreds or even thousands of images on a wedding day. Even a non-professional photographer usually can get a few good pictures among hundreds. As a result, I believe that the only beauty of the photo is not a critical consideration when a photographer selects a shot for the portfolio. Any Well-designed portfolio should assist the clients in making an informed decision rather than making the potential clients amazed with gorgeous photos. For example, the Wanaka tree is lovely, and virtually everyone with a camera can picture it, but not many photographers are adept at taking a good photo of it on a gloomy rainy day or capturing the right texture of the sky or the lake in their photos.

A photographer's portfolio should represent at least these factors and a couple should look for these factors:


  • Style: different people, including photographers, have different ways of showing their emotions and romantic emotions. A photographer's portfolio is a reflection of the photographer's style, the colours that they choose, how they use the light, how they frame the subjects in the photo, etc. A portfolio shows the preferred style of a photographer, however, most photographers are happy to discuss the style of the photos with you and consider your desires for your wedding photos.



  • Technical skill: Typically, couples book wedding photographers months a long time before the big day. Nobody knows what the weather will be like on the wedding day at the moment. Because the couple may not even know where the wedding venue is and what is the lighting requirements. The portfolio of a photographer represents the photographer should represent the experience of various scenarios and


  • Flexibility: Another thing a wedding portfolio illustrates is the photographer's flexibility. A portfolio, as I previously stated, displays the photographer's preferred style, but skilled photographers can use your suggestions and take the photographs you prefer. I have worked with couples who prefer so-called "airy" images, which may differ from my general work theme. It was, nevertheless, simple to take photos that they loved.

To summarize, a wedding photography portfolio, as I previously stated, displays the photographer's preferred style, and experience of working in various conditions such as low light places like churches and a


bad weather. You should feel free to talk to any photographer about their portfolio and discuss details of different photos to see if you will get what you see in the portfolio.
