"Use your feelings, Obi-Wan, and find [your photographer] you will." - Yoda

The force is strong with you. Emotional force, that is. Emotions play a big role in what you desire to evoke through your wedding pictures.

 Romantic, intimate moments are your forte, and dark, warm colors enhance that sweet feeling. Bold shadows and muted highlights bring out details in lighter parts of each image, and the darks are nearly black.

What this says about YOU: You get to the heart of the matter. You're emotive and expressive. Your wedding will be completely unique to who you are as a couple.

You might be worried that photographers with this style  will over-edit your photos, or that they may not be skilled with lighting dark reception spaces.

 Here's how to make sure you get the right fit:

1. Read the Website.

First things first: Read the words on their website...do the things this person is saying jive with your goals? Are they talking about  how you'll feel on the wedding day, or are they talking about light, bright, romantic vibes? Second, look through their portfolio to see if you can picture yourself in their photographs and ask yourself whether you'll still love them  50 years from now. And third, make sure they have solid testimonials from other couples like you!

2. Have a  Chat.

If you've deemed them worthy based on their website, portfolio, and testimonials, set up a phone call, Zoom call, or in-person meeting. During the conversation,  ask yourself if  your personalities are a good fit, if you think the photographer will be able to guide you toward the aesthetic you're hoping for, and if you have reasons to book them for more than just their portfolio. They should ask you about your concerns, so be honest with them. If your personalities don't match up well or you think they aren't in it to serve you and the things that are most important to you, don't move forward.  But if you think you could have a great time with them all day long, they can deliver what's important to you, and  that you'll get an excellent experience in addition to the style you're looking for, then by all means...get to booking!

3.  Note the Process.

Any photographer worth their salt should have an excellent process that serves you well, even before you book their services.  The BEST photographers will meet with you, find out what's important to you, and THEN give you pricing that reflects your desires in a custom proposal.  Below we've included resources about how to choose the right photographer.
