How to choose the perfect wedding photographer
If you are in the process of planning your wedding, you already know that a professional photography service is one of the essential pieces for a perfect ceremony. After saving your ideal date in Casa de Campo, we give you some recommendations for choosing a photographer who is a perfect match for you and your partner.
Select your preferred visual style
Several photographic styles are in vogue for wedding receptions and ceremonies: traditional, in which the couple and guests pose for more classic shots; photojournalism, which captures the events of the day in chronological order; natural, where you play spontaneously with lighting and emotions; creative, with a focus on more artistic details and angles; and many more. Each photographer has their area of expertise, so it is advisable to choose the style that most attracts your attention and start your search from there.
Seek references from family, friends, and other couples
If you have seen recent wedding photoshoots that have caught your attention, contact the couple to ask if they were satisfied with their results. A trusted review will help you a lot in your decision. Both on our Instagram and in the hashtag #casadecampoweddings you can find inspirational pictures.
Optionally, a photographer who has previously worked in Casa de Campo gives you the advantage of knowing our locations, finding good angles, and even locating little-known places to take dream shots.
Meet your photographer before the big day
The chemistry that you and your partner have with the photographer is essential since they will be with you all day looking for the best shots in a natural way. During planning meetings, how the photographer portrays their personality, communicates their vision, and understands your wishes will help you make that big final decision.
It is important to establish the services, hours, delivery times, and additional personnel that cover the agreed budget, as well as the number of photos that will be delivered in physical or digital format.
One way to better appreciate how your chosen photographer works are to book a simpler pre-wedding session, whether it’s for romantic outdoor photos or a day with the bridesmaids and groomsmen. Casa de Campo’s wide variety of activities and stunning settings make for unforgettable, loving moments!
We put our expertise at your service
Casa de Campo is a very unique venue and not every photographer has the skill, equipment, or knowledge to do a shoot at our most requested venue: Altos de Chavón.
We strongly suggest not use an outside photographer, as photographing a wedding at Altos de Chavón is very difficult if you don’t have a lot of experience. Our registered contracted photographers have undergone extensive orientation with our operations department on what they can and cannot do, as well as all safety regulations required for them to work at the hotel.
Finally, do not hesitate to share your impressions with our Wedding Specialists, who will be able to advise you and answer your questions throughout the process. At Casa de Campo we are experts in helping you say “I do” in the most perfect way possible.
