Choosing your photographer for your wedding day can seem like an extremely daunting task. Every friend or family member has a recommendation, your coworker follows a photographer on Instagram that they love, wedding planning websites provide pages on pages of photographers with lists of reviews...how do you pick?!

The best place to start: What is your style? And what experience and types of wedding photographers can help you achieve that? It's important to know your photographer's comfort behind their camera and their knowledge of lighting, timing, and most of all - posing.
