In my very first “Williamism” I am going to address how you should select your wedding photographer. This has nothing to do with cost (I will address that in a future post).
Choosing a great photographer for your wedding is simple – all you have to do is “connect”.
Webster’s defines connect as “to become joined”. So what should you connect with?
First – your potential photographer’s imagery. Does it speak to you? Can you feel the images? Is it your style? If the pictures on their website and in their albums ring true with you – and you experience an AH HAH moment – chances are you have connected with their pictures.
Second – how does your photographer make you feel? Do the two of you (really three of you – bride, groom and photographer) really connect? Do you experience genuine warmth and comfort when you are all together. My goal is to always feel like a friend, of the bride and groom, that has been invited to their wedding. Only someone connecting with the couple could get close enough to capture the kind of image below.
So – get out there and connect!
