How to choose a Wicklow wedding photographer

You’re going square eyed looking at wedding photographers, you thought you knew what you wanted but now, you’re even more confused than when you started because you didn’t know where were so many different types of wedding photographers? I totally get it. 

Choosing the right Wicklow or Dublin wedding photographer shouldn’t be that hard. The 3 most important things to consider are wedding photography prices, the wedding photography style, and most importantly the wedding photographer’s personality. 

I’ve written way more about this below, so put the kettle on and read on, I’ve got you!

Choosing the Perfect Wedding Photographer

Planning a wedding is an exciting journey, filled with countless decisions that will shape one of the most memorable days of your life. Among these decisions, selecting the right wedding photographer is crucial, as they will capture moments that you’ll treasure forever. Here are some essential tips to help you choose the perfect photographer for your special day.

Define Your Style

Before you start your search, consider what kind of photos you want. Are you dreaming of traditional, posed photographs that focus more on formal portraits in a more editorial photography style? Or do you prefer candid, documentary-style images that tell the story of your day in a natural and spontaneous way? Identifying your preferred style will help you narrow down your options. I’m shoot of mix of documentary wedding photos and more candid style posed photos. So you get the best of both worlds.

Set a Realistic Budget

Wedding photography can vary significantly in cost, from a few hundred to several thousand euros. It’s important to determine what you can realistically afford and to explore the market to understand the value you’re getting for your money. A good photographer is an investment, so prioritise quality within your budget. My Wicklow & Dublin wedding photography prices start at €2800. 

Assess Personality and Fit

Meeting potential photographers is key. You’re going to spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day so you’ll want to make sure you get along well. That they’re on the same wavelength as you when it comes to the vibe of your wedding day. Discuss their experience, style, and pricing, but also pay attention to how comfortable you feel with them. It’s important to choose someone whose personality meshes well with yours and who understands your vision.

Review Full Galleries

Once you’ve shortlisted a few photographers, request to see full galleries of weddings they have previously shot. This will give you a comprehensive view of their work and their ability to capture a wedding day from start to finish. Focus on consistency and their knack for capturing emotions and details. I usually reply to an initial enquiry with 2-3 full galleries so you won’t even need to chase this from me. I try to provide them from your venue and the time of year you’re getting married. 

Book Early

Great Dublin & Wicklow wedding photographers are in high demand, so it’s wise to book your preferred choice as soon as possible. This ensures their availability on your wedding day and gives you peace of mind knowing that your memories are in capable hands.

Choosing an Irish wedding photographer is about more than just hiring someone to take pictures; it’s about selecting a storyteller who will document one of the most important days of your life. By considering style, budget, personality, and experience, you’ll be well on your way to finding the perfect photographer to capture your special day.

What do you need to know about wedding photography prices in Ireland?

A wedding is not cheap, no matter what way you split it up, it is a luxury product, so the first thing you need to do is prioritise.
