How to Choose a Wedding Photographer in Costa Rica
5 Tips to Choose the Best Wedding Photographer in Costa Rica
Choosing a photographer can be a daunting task especially for a destination wedding. There are so many different options online offering various prices, packages, and styles. However, considering these 5 things will help you find your perfect match!
Professionalism: When it comes to your wedding you need people who are going to celebrate you and help you along the way, not people who are going to bring stress or who you doubt you can trust. Make sure the photographer you are in contact with is quick to respond, courteous, honest and reputable. It will make a world of difference.
Style: Every photographer has something unique to offer, but they usually fall into one of three categories: traditional wedding photography, photojournalistic, or illustrative. Before you make a decision about which photographer to hire, look into the different styles and choose which one you and your partner best identify with. This can give you a framework to narrow down the list of options.
Time Covered: Most photography packages vary from 4 to 10 hours. Choosing a package that starts with the bride getting ready and finishes shortly after the party starts will allow your photographer ample time to snap all the best moments. Getting ready is an intimate time with the people who you are the closest to and capturing these special moments will let you remember this experience with happiness. When it comes to the party, there are only so many photos the photographer is going to take of your crazy aunt getting wasted. Half an hour of dancing will be enough to take great photos of your wedding party having fun. With that said, you will want to find a photographer who already offers, or can create, a flexible package to meet your scheduling needs.
A Photographer is not a Magician: Quality wedding photography is the outcome of a mixture between a couple in love, the right lighting, and a breath-taking location. If you take out any of these elements you are probably going to be dissapointed with the outcome. Make sure you choose a venue nothing less than beautiful (cross link best places in cr blog) and the right time of day for your ceremony, preferably in the early morning or afternoon.
Price: When all is said and done, your photos and video are what you will have to spark your memory and relive some of the most treasured moments of your life. Prices vary from $500 to $5,000, but budgeting amply to capture this day will be one investment that will give back more than money can buy.
