What to look for in a wedding photographer
Talent is easy to spot in one photograph and hard to judge across a whole day. These are the signals worth looking for.
Consistency across a full gallery
Colour and light should feel like one day, not twelve different days edited separately.
How they handle difficult light
Golden hour flatters everyone. Look at the dim church, the harsh midday sun, the dark reception. That is where craft shows.
Expression over pose
Do people look like themselves? A photographer who can draw out real expressions is worth more than one with perfect composition.
The quiet frames
The parents watching, the hands, the empty room before the guests arrive. The in-between pictures are usually the ones you frame.
Whether you would trust them near your family
They will be with you for twelve hours. Warmth is a professional qualification.
