An advice number 1:
Recognize your photographers Style. Style is the attitude,
personality the relationship that your Wedding Photographer portrays. Without
knowing the relationships Style, it is difficult to not only know what to
look for when evaluating a photographers website but also know how to
express that to the photographer.
The reason why should the Bride know about her relationships Style? Have you
ever noticed how couples have that special way of interacting, holding hands, hugging, etc? It is different for every couple isnt it? You are probably aware of how do the two
of you hold hands, hug, etc. I bet there is a difference between you and other couples. That is called your personal style. If the Bride hires a photographer who cannot capture her Style then the result is often times , tears of frustration rather than tears of joy. Or otherwise, if you get a photographer that will now how to capture those special moments in a right way you would be able to cherish those moment for years to come. Know what I mean now?
The answer is; communicate to your Wedding Photographer, see if you feel comfortable talking to him/her about anything starting from your favorite music, to why you've chosen your particular wedding venue. Further, you can bring your favorite photographs from the magazines, or send an e-mail with that image that has captured your imagination on the internet. In that way, your photographer will now better what to look for when the Big Day comes!
When you view photographer's website reflect back and think whether you can see yourself in those kind of photographs.
