Finding the right photographer seems challenging, but here are some tips to make it easier:
Style: Every photographer has a unique style of shooting. The two schools of thought are editorial shooting and reportage shooting. Blending the two approaches gives every photographer a distinct style.
Editorial style is the style of pictures you would find on a magazine. Photographer is directing all poses creating a more “professional photo shoot” result.
Documentary style is a different approach where the photographer tries to be unobtrusive and capture genuine moments.
These are the two extremes and wedding photographers combine both, leaning towards one side. Editorial leaning style creates a more “professional” result while documentary leaning style creates a more “personal” result.
Duration
If you are planning your wedding in Santorini make sure your photography package duration is enough to cover the essentials. Obviously first priority is the ceremony but try to include at least the preparation and a photo tour. Santorini is a place of profound beauty and you will only have one chance to wear your wedding dress, so you should make the most out of it.
Quality VS Quantity
If your budget is tight, you might have to make a decision between having a cheaper photographer for more hours, or a more expensive photographer for less hours. We would suggest the latter. Most cameras and even phones can capture good pictures. You hire a photographer because you want amazing pictures. You can cover the part, your photographer won’t attend, with your guests taking pictures.
