Well it looks like it's about that time...time to wrap things up on the Engagement Pictures 101 mini-series! Over the past two weeks all-the-need-to-know info concerning Engagement Pictures has been laid out -- You got the WHY, the WHEN, the WHERE..and now, I will finish it up with the HOW! The HOW element of this whole ordeal is the easiest of engagement picture knowledge, and is the step where you put all the other elements together!
The first thing to do is start your research! This is extremely important and will end up saving you lots of time in the end. It is crucial that you take the appropriate time to research for and about different photographers. Wedding photography takes up a big junk of your budget - and the last thing you want to do is spend it on an unsatisfactory outcome. There are thousands of fabulous proffessional photographers in all urban cities, especially Atlanta. Try finding several that photographers that interest you through internet searches or friend referals. Then, take an indepth look at some of their work and portfolios. Photographer's blogs are great for seeing their most current work and allows you to compare portfolio's side by side. Make sure you like their photography style, their use of color, and the creativity displayed across their work. It is also wise to compare pricing and packages among photographers -- you will find that no one offers the exact same package - find the one that fits your needs best.
Once you have a photographer of choice, be sure to book them through a contract well in advance. I would recommend to book your photographer at least two months before your desired photoshoot date. Photographers', especially those who specialize in weddings, schedules fill up fast! You would hate to have your desired date be unavailable and jam up the rest of your timeline.
If you haven't already chosen a place, ask your photographer for recommendations - they usually have great suggestions and have a list of places that guarantee great photo outcomes. Once you have the place and the photographer, you are ready your the lights - camera - and action! Pick your outfits appropriately for the weather and look you are going for! Remember, stay on top of the Engagement Picture process, don't wait till the last minute to get these timeless photos done -- and you can always check back on the Engagement Pictures 101 series if you feel a little lost! Here are some creative photos from across the web!
