I love her work.\u00a0 Check out what Trysh has to say about wedding photography and how to choose a photographer for your wedding.<\/p><h4>&#8211; Trysh<\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing a wedding photographer can be one of the most difficult tasks of planning a wedding. Where do you start? How do you know the difference? Does a higher price always mean better?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In choosing a photographer there are a few things you should consider:<\/span><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Referrals from family &amp; friends. Find people that rave about their photographer and ask them to see ALL of their wedding photos. \u00a0The most important comment you should listen for is \u201cour photographer kept us organized all day\u201d and \u201cwe absolutely love our photos\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve all heard the sad story from someone that had a photographer that missed or lost their photos. Don\u2019t let that be you! Ask your photographer what kind of backup equipment they have and how they store their images. Go over a complete list of MUST HAVE photos with a reasonable timeline so there is no chance of missing photos.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Price. This is the hard part. Wedding photographers range in price from $500 to $10,000. According to Wedding Wire, the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">average<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> cost of a wedding photographer is between $1200 &#8211; $3000. Ask yourself, \u201cDo you want <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AVERAGE<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> wedding photos?\u201d Price in wedding photographers are based on so many things \u2013 experience, equipment, time invested, editing, products, engagement photos, second shooters, insurance, taxes, etc. Although I respect the side hustle; my best advice is to hire a photographer that is running a legit business and read all the reviews that you can about them. Plan to spend 15% of your wedding budget on a great photographer, you won\u2019t be sorry!<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t be afraid to ask the tough questions. \u201cI see you advertise as being a natural light photographer. What do you do for night shots or reception lighting?\u201d or \u201cMy parents are divorced. How can I make family pictures not awkward for everyone?\u201d Also, ask to see a full wedding and multiple albums, not just the \u201cpretty\u201d pictures they post on social media.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set multiple meetings and meet different photographers. Find someone you \u201cclick\u201d with \u2013 personality and style. You are going to spend the most important day of your life together. Make sure they really care about you and your wedding vision.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400;\">After the wedding is over, your pictures are what you will have to remember the day. \u00a0I also always recommend getting a wedding album included in your wedding package. Your wedding album will actually INCREASE in value as time goes on because you will have photos of loved ones and special moments that may not always be here.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p><em><span
