Why You Should Book Your Wedding Photographer Early
It's time to address the elephant in the room: waiting until even just a couple months before your special day to book a wedding photographer is one of the biggest mistakes a couple could make. Booking late can lead to several problems – let's go over the benefits of booking your wedding photographer at least eight months before your big day!
You’ll get the best photographers if you book early.
Many wedding photographers (myself included) have limits on how many weddings they take a month. It ensures that photographers like me can maximize their attention and provide the best level of service for couples without overextending ourselves.
By booking a wedding photographer at least eight months in advance, you can rest assured that you'll have plenty of options and photography styles to choose from, without having to compromise!
You can have more say in the style and look of your photos.
No two photographers are the same – each wedding photographer has their unique style and approach to capturing special moments, with different levels of attention to detail, communication styles, and more.
Booking early means that you can not only find that perfect photographer that works well with you and your partner, but you'll find a photographer that matches the style you're looking for – candid, artistic, photojournalism, you name it – to ensure that they're capturing one of life's most important moments.
You won't have to worry about availability or price hikes closer to your wedding date.
By the time you start looking for a photographer, your wedding date, venue, and other key details are likely already locked in – finding a photographer early ensures that you'll have plenty of options for photographers that are available on your special day.
Booking too late can also be more expensive for couples. Many photographers have discounts and specials for couples that book early – and with booking early comes payment flexibility. There's no denying that weddings are super expensive, which is why I offer payment plans for couples that aren't comfortable with paying the full lump sum upfront.
You'll avoid stress by booking early.
Experienced wedding photographers like me have attended dozens of weddings across the country. We've seen what can go right – and go wrong – during the big day. Booking a photographer early means that you won't have to worry about finding one as you get closer to your wedding while having someone who can support you as you navigate your wedding day!
I'm just an email, text, or phone call away from the couples I've worked with – from recommendations on a venue for the reception to lighting and placement of the bride and groom during the ceremony, I'm always more than happy to provide as much help as I can. After all, it takes a village!
