Choosing between wedding photographers

Suzie, on March 31, 2021 at 4:39 PM Posted in Planning 0 7

Hi team -


How do you decide between two wedding photographers if they both seemed great in the interview, you like both their work equally, and they're more or less the same price?


We hate cheesy/posed photos so I found two photogs that do documentary-style photography (we are getting married in italy, hence the italian.)


https://www.giuseppemarano.com / vs. https://www.fotomagoria.com/


I know some people will look at those and think "where are the posed photos, don't you want memories for your grandkids of your flowers, etc." But the answer to that is no Smiley smile No prom photos, please. The question I need help with is: how the heck do you choose between two? I welcome your insight!


thanks!

    Toss a coin! If your reaction to the outcome is ‘let’s do best of three’, that’s probably a sign you’d prefer the other option.

    Realistically, if there is little to choose between then, then you can’t go wrong either way. Just make sure you make a decision, rather than waiting and then finding they’ve both been booked up.

    I love their photos!

    Many people find posed photos uncomfortable but do them out of obligation. Skip them if you hate them and get photos you love.

    Pick the photographer you click with the best. You will be with them for hours so you need to feel relaxed with them.

    Any extras that one or the other add in?

    If it were me, I would try to read as many customer reviews as possible for both photographers. It's great that you like both of their work. But the real test is how was the experience? Other couples' reviews can really give you a good sense of what to expect from each company.

    So thats actually a great idea! But since they're both international they're not any of the major wedding sites Smiley sad I can only find a few reviews here and there from comments people posted on their blogs/facebook pages...

    This is a very good point- either one will be a good choice!

    Well, how about their business websites? Sometimes there will be reviews there. Is there an international version of Yelp somewhere?

    At any rate, a few reviews are better than none. Could be helpful in making your decision. Good luck!! Happy planning!!
