We know how important it is to find the right wedding photographer for your big day. After all, your wedding photos will be the cherished keepsakes that let you relive every beautiful moment. To help you in your search, we’ve put together some tips and questions to consider. Our goal is to make sure you find a photographer who’s not just a perfect fit for your style but also a great match for your personality.


1. Define Your Style

Before diving into your search, take a moment to think about what style of photography resonates with you. Whether that's editorial, light & airy, true to color or something different, it's important to reach out to those artists who reflect your likes! At Puja Studio, we love blending rich, vibrant earth tones with modern and minimalist touches. Whether you’re drawn to classic, candid, or a mix of both, defining your style will guide you in finding a photographer whose work aligns with your vision.


2. Research Your Options

Start by exploring photographers who specialize in your preferred style. Look for recommendations from friends, family, or even your wedding planner. Don’t forget to check out online reviews and social media to see more of their work. We recommend browsing through Instagram and Pinterest to gather inspiration and find photographers who catch your eye.


3. Review Portfolios

Take a good look at the portfolios of photographers you’re considering. At Puja Studio, we pride ourselves on capturing both the grand moments and the subtle details with a keen eye. Make sure the photographers you’re interested in have a portfolio that shows consistent quality and the ability to capture authentic moments. Viewing complete wedding galleries will give you a better sense of their style and what you can expect on your own wedding day.


4. Check Experience and Credentials

Experience matters! We believe that an experienced photographer can handle any situation with grace and skill. Look for photographers with a solid track record and check if they are part of any professional organizations. Their experience will ensure that they are well-prepared to deliver stunning photos on your wedding day.


5. Connect with Them Personally

It’s important to connect with your photographer on a personal level. Arrange a meeting or video call to discuss your vision and get a feel for their personality. At Puja Studio, we value building a rapport with our clients because we believe it makes a difference in capturing those genuine moments. Make sure you feel comfortable and excited about working with them.


6. Ask the Right Questions

During your meeting, don’t hesitate to ask questions. Here are some that might be on your mind:

  • What is your photography style, and how do you approach capturing a wedding day?
  • Can you share testimonials from past clients or show us full wedding galleries?
  • What does your wedding package include, and what are the costs? Is there room for customization?
  • How do you collaborate with other vendors, such as wedding planners or coordinators, to ensure everything goes smoothly?
  • How many hours of coverage do you provide, and are there options to extend it if needed?
  • Do you have backup equipment and a contingency plan in case of unforeseen events?
  • When can we expect to receive our photos, and in what formats will they be delivered?
  • Have you worked at our venue or similar venues before?
  • Can you walk us through a typical wedding day with you? How do you ensure you capture both planned and spontaneous moments?


7. Review the Contract Thoroughly

Once you’ve found a photographer you love, make sure to review the contract carefully. At Puja Studio, we ensure that all details are clear, including pricing, delivery timelines, and any additional fees. Understanding the terms regarding cancellations and rescheduling is crucial for a smooth experience.


8. Trust Your Instincts

Finally, trust your instincts. Choose a photographer who not only meets your criteria but also makes you feel comfortable and excited about your wedding day. A good connection with your photographer will shine through in your photos, making them even more special.
