HOW TO SELECT A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN MONTREAL? MONTREAL WEDDINGS IS HERE TO HELP!

Your wedding pictures will remain with you always and become a lasting souvenir that can be shared through the generations. The selection of your photographer should therefore not be taken lightly.

YOUR STYLE

Begin by choosing the style of photography that you prefer. Do you prefer the traditional approach with pre-determined poses, or natural shots taken on the spot without you even noticing? You may also prefer a photojournalistic or fashion style, or a combination of all of these.

YOUR NEEDS

The next step is to determine your needs. When will you need the photographer’s services? Will you need them to capture your preparation, the ceremony and the reception, as well as do a photo session with the newlyweds? The amount of time that you need your photographer to work will greatly influence the cost of the services. You can also hire the photographer to document different events before the wedding such as the engagement party, shower and rehearsal. This helps to develop a great relationship with your photographer before the big day.

WEDDING PACKAGES

Photographers offer a variety of wedding packages. Prepare yourself by knowing your budget, how many pictures you would like, and if you want to enlarge any pictures to put on your wall. Will you need a wedding album or do you prefer that the photographer deliver your photos in digital form? Do you need the photographer to retouch each picture?

Take the time to meet with the photographer. It is important to determine if you feel comfortable with this person and want to spend your whole wedding day with them. This is part of the secret to looking good in your pictures. During the meeting, take the time to ask the right questions.
