When it comes to planning a wedding we all know that picking a photographer is one of the most important decisions. The photographer is with you all through the day, following you around, telling you how to stand, how to hold the flowers, they become your own personal poparazzi for the day! When you receive your wedding photos you will have those photos for the rest of your marriage and beyond, there is no re takes when it comes to wedding photos. No pressure or anything… once again we are here to help! We have gathered several of our favorite photos in the Calgary area all in one place!

Each photographer offers a different style, price and personality. Photographers are real people, and we believe it is important to not only love their photos but also get along with them as a person. Like we said, they are with you all through the day and you will want to like the person who is ‘up in your personal space’.

It was impossible to pick our favorite however we did manage to narrow the many amazing photographers in our networks down to a select few. We tried our best to showcase a variety to give an overview of what is available.

We are starting with a photographer Breanna met several years ago at a gorgeous wedding at the Saskatoon Farm. David Patton with Patton Photography! Patton Photography | Facebook

We wanted to add in a few questions to ask photographers when you are interviewing them either over the phone or in person.

  1. Where are you located? Is there travel costs?
  2. Do you have a second shooter? Is it an additional charge?
  3. How would you describe your shooting style?
  4. Do you offer ‘over time’ if so how much is it?
  5. Have you shot at our _______ wedding location before?
  6. How long until I receive the photos after the wedding date?
  7. Do you shoot ‘posed’ photos or prefer candid style?

What other questions do you ask before securing your wedding photographer?

If you connect with any of the above photographers be sure to tell them that In This Moment Weddings sent you!
