Benefit #1 - Tips & Planning Advice


Maybe you’re realizing this now or maybe not quite yet but making decisions on timings and the overall setup of your day can feel like you’re treading water and someone threw you a 20lb weight. This is likely yourself and your partner’s first time planning a wedding day and there are so many decisions to be made.

An experienced wedding photographer is actually able to help you with the structure and planning of the day as they want to optimize lighting and angles to give you the very best photos. It is common that by hiring an experienced wedding photographer you are hiring someone who shoots 15, 20 or even 30+ weddings a year. So they’ve seen it all. They know what works and what doesn’t for different end goals and can help you plan your day in a way that gives you the best photography opportunities, allows you to spend the most time with your guests and more.

Benefit #2 - Knowledge of Light & Angles


Benefit number two carries right off of the back of number one as it’s all about the in depth knowledge your experienced photographer has on light, angles and composition.

An experienced photographer has been working with light and angles for a long time and so knows how to manipulate or work with them to bring out the very best for your photos. There are many ways to work with these elements to create different end products so be sure to find a photographer whose vibe and tone you love.

Yes there are some basic rules on composition, light and angle but really photography is very much a creative world and open to individual change, taste and artistic flare. So be sure to fall in love with your photographers portfolio before you commit.

Benefit #3 - A Focus On Overall Experience


The experienced wedding photographer understands that wedding photography is more than the wedding day, it’s more than the online gallery or physical prints you hand over to your couple at the end of the day. It’s about the entire experience from initial contact, planning meetings, payment ease and personality to the preparation, professionalism and relationship on the day and onto the delivery and timeliness of their gallery.

Your investment into an experienced photographer goes towards years of hands on experience with couples leading them to create an awesome, one of a kind experience with you from start to finish. They see the importance of gifting you a quality experience that goes far beyond showing up on your big day and getting the job done.

Benefit #4 - A Desire To Pair With The Right Couples


As you progress in your journey as a wedding photographer you move from the phase of just trying to find couples to book you in those early days to realizing the importance of only partnering with couples who you connect with, who are looking for your exact style, your exact overall experience and who totally dig your vibe.

When you pair with a photographer who equally cares about pairing with the right couples you become teamed with someone whos much more likely to deliver you your dream photos and experience. They are aware of their own brand importance and see the value in connecting with couples looking for exactly what they offer.

So why pay for an experienced wedding photographer? One because you place high value on your wedding photos. Every couple has their list of importance when it comes to different aspects of their wedding day and for some couples photography is up near the top. If that’s you then you should be looking to invest into a photographer with experience.

This will ensure you not only receive your dream photos but also a personal experience and connection with your photographer that goes beyond vendor-client to friends. You’ll be able to have a confidence and trust in your photographer and their opinions, advice and tips. You will be able to tap into the wealth of knowledge your photographer brings to the day to maximize your end result.

So if you find photography near the top of your list of importance when ranking your wedding to-do list then I would urge you to head towards a photographer with lots of experience.
