Color? What color?

Okay, okay. So you do appreciate color. But black and white is your FAVORITE. It brings the subject forward and the colors don't distract from the emotion of the moment.

It's likely that you prefer dark blacks and bright whites. Contrast is kind of important when it comes to monochrome images after all. This style makes any moment a memory and will forever remain timeless. 

What this says about YOU: You appreciate genuineness and honesty. Because of this, your work is highly emotive and expressive--just like you. You likely seek to capture real life as it happens and love even the moments that may not seem exciting at the time, but will be beautiful as a memory.

You might be worried that the photographer you choose won't have the same values as you in relation to the authenticity you seek. Or, that you might not be able to find a color style you like. 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 that same authenticity you seek, or are they just showing you some pretty pictures? 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 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.
