How does one go about finding the right photographer for your wedding? We got engagement photos done and we were so let down. We didn’t get any guidance on how to position ourselves, they didn’t let us know if hair was in our face or if makeup was smudged or an eyelash was popping. Didn’t try to take flattering angles. None of that. The experience was fun but the photos really were a let down. We paid a good amount of money for them too and they didn’t even look touched up or anything really special. We’re scared of having a repeat for our big day and it’s coming up to a year away soon and we don’t really know how to go about finding the right fit for us. Any advice on how to go about this? Same goes for videographers if anyone has any tips for that too. Thank you! We’re getting married in Hamilton, Ontario if anyone has some great recommendations as well. Once again.. thank you!

I see it’s been a while since you’ve posted, but I just wanted to ask—has anyone recently had a second shooter at their wedding? I’m trying to decide if it’s worth adding one and would love to hear if it made a big difference for anyone in terms of capturing more moments or different angles. Did it really help or just add extra photos you didn’t end up using?

What helped was looking at full albums, not just highlights—seeing how a photographer handles angles, lighting, and those little details makes a huge difference. On the big day, having someone guide you on poses and check hair or makeup really matters. Our wedding photos turned out amazing because we picked someone who paid attention to those things and made the whole process relaxed.
