Your wedding day is filled with countless fleeting moments—the nervous breath before walking down the aisle, the look in your partner’s eyes when they first see you, the spontaneous laughter during the toasts. At Taylor Kemp Photography, we understand just how meaningful these moments are. And we know finding the right photographer can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. We’re here to guide you through the process of finding the perfect match for your wedding day.
Know Your Style Before You Search
Before diving into photographer portfolios, take a little time to explore what photography style truly speaks to you. Are you drawn to bright, airy images with soft colors? Or do you prefer rich, moody photos with deep contrasts? Maybe you love candid, storytelling images that capture real emotions—or perhaps you’re leaning toward timeless, posed portraits.
Look through wedding magazines, Pinterest, or Instagram and save examples you love. When you share these with photographers (including us!), it gives a clear visual reference that’s far more helpful than trying to describe your preferences with words alone.
Set Your Budget (But Be Realistic)
Wedding photography is an investment in the memories that will stay with you for generations. While setting a budget is important, it’s worth remembering that your photos are one of the few things that last long after the cake is gone and the flowers have wilted.
At Taylor Kemp Photography, our pricing reflects not just the hours spent shooting on your big day, but also years of experience, professional gear, backups, insurance, and the many hours we spend carefully editing your images afterward. If our work speaks to you but the numbers stretch your budget, we’re always open to exploring custom options to help you prioritize what matters most.
Look Beyond the Portfolio
A beautiful Instagram feed is great, but it only shows the highlight reel. We encourage you to ask to see full wedding galleries—not just our favorite shots. This gives you a better idea of how we perform across the entire wedding day, under all lighting conditions and in different environments.
Whether it’s a candlelit reception, a bright afternoon ceremony, or a rainy-day celebration, we make sure every moment is captured beautifully and consistently.
The Personal Connection Matters
We’re not just photographers—we’re the people who will be by your side during some of the most intimate and emotional moments of your wedding. That’s why it’s so important that you feel comfortable and at ease with us.
When we meet—whether through video call or in person—we want to get to know you, listen to your concerns, and understand your vision for the day. Our laid-back, unobtrusive approach is designed to help you relax and truly enjoy your wedding, knowing your memories are in good hands.
Ask the Right Questions
Choosing your photographer is more than comparing packages. Here are some great questions to ask (and ones we’re always happy to answer):
– What’s your shooting style like on the wedding day?
– How do you handle unexpected challenges?
– How long until we receive our images?
– Do you bring a second photographer?
– How many weddings do you photograph each year?
Our goal is to make sure you feel confident, comfortable, and fully informed.
