1. personality

When selecting Greenville wedding photographers, you are selecting more than just a photographer for your wedding day. You are hiring a wedding photographer that will be with you, your family, and your wedding party all day on your wedding day. Personality is a huge part of the selection process and should not be overlooked or discounted in any way. Your Greenville wedding photographer’s personality can set the tone for your entire wedding day and your bridal party. Ultimately it can impact your wedding photography altogether. You will more than likely be working with your wedding photographer for a year or longer in some cases, by the time you factor in your engagement session and post wedding photography and albums.

2. price

While price is always a factor when selecting your Greenville wedding photographers, it should not be the only thing that matters. All too often we hear horror stories from brides who made a decision for their wedding photography based solely on price. It turns out to be foolish and a regretful decision in the end. When it’s all said and done, your wedding photography will be all you have to remember your wedding day and will generate family heirlooms for you to enjoy for years to come.

3. wedding albums

What will you do with all your images from your wedding photographer? Most people decide to place them in a beautifully designed wedding album that your wedding photographer should provide you with. Don’t underestimate the importance of a wedding album from your wedding day. This is your first family heirloom and your one keepsake you will have forever to remember your Greenville wedding. From personal experience, that disc of images will sit forgotten in a drawer instead of printed or displayed for you and your family to enjoy. When selecting a Greenville wedding photographer, you should look for an album that best represents you and your new family. Wedding albums come in all shapes and sizes. Questions you should ask your Greenville wedding photographer include: 1) how many pages come in the wedding album 2) how many images will be in the wedding album and 3) what leather options are available for my wedding album?

4. coverage

Something often overlooked when selecting a Greenville wedding photographer is the number of hours that will be offered during the coverage of your Greenville wedding. Typically you will want your wedding photographer to be with you to document all the moments of your wedding day. After all, that’s what you are hiring them for! That being said, typically coverage requirements for your wedding day should be about 8-10 hours. Be careful here. Some Greenville wedding photographers offer cut-rate prices by offering you less than adequate wedding coverage for your day. These become hidden costs and once you realize it, it’s often too late.

5. number of wedding photographers

How many Greenville wedding photographers will be at your event? Most events need two wedding photographers. This ensures that your wedding photographer is focused on working with your group and directing the day and allows the second wedding photographer to have coverage going on at the same time. Two is better than one! We find that by having two Greenville wedding photographers at your event, your wedding photography needs can be best met while ensuring that nothing gets forgotten from your big day.
