finding a photographer

[TATrisha]

Yeah, choosing my photographer was ridiculously painstaking.  I mean, when you have a local wedding you typically choose from the talent in your area (and don't even consider flying people in)... but when you have a destination wedding then you can choose from talent around the world and their prices are often cheaper!  That's just crazy to me!!  It was so many options!!!

So, figure out what you want from the portraits in the end.  Find someone who will be able to deliver that, and if you have a connection with them and their work is great, book them.

I think the two most important things are to like a photographer's style and to like a photographer's personality.

 

When we have couples contact us from the US or Canada (we live in Mexico full-time) we ALWAYS arrange a Skype session so we can see and talk with each other. It is important for us to click with the couples, just as it is important for them to click with us.
