Your photos are the one thing you’ll keep forever. Here’s why investing in a great wedding photographer is the smartest choice you’ll make for your big day.

So, you have secured your date and have finally booked the venue of your dreams! Now it comes time to find your photographer for your special day…

Here are 3 criteria that you should be looking for when picking a great wedding photographer!

  • A great photographer will capture your day in its entirety! No matter the package that you choose for your special day a great photographer will be able to capture your day in its entirety. When working with us; we help curate a timeline that works with your visions and wants for the day so that way it leaves time to capture everything that is happening around you regardless of the package you choose!! We sit down with you two-three months before your wedding day to help build that timeline and tighten up and loose ends so that way all the important moments are captured!!
  • A great photographer will capture photos that tell a story about your day! After all, who doesn’t love a good story? When working with us, nothing lights us up more than being a fly on the wall on your wedding day. We LOVE capturing those candid moments such as your guardian passing you off as you walk down the aisle, the reaction of your guests as they hear you say your vows or when your partner sees you for the first time. Another great moment that is often underrated is the reception. We absolutely LOVE when the party starts, and your best people are busting their most fabulous moves on the dancefloor!! Those are definitely epic photos to capture and as equally epic to have as a memory to look back on.
  • Above all else, a great photographer will be enjoyable to work with! In our opinion this is the most paramount criteria to consider when selecting your photographer. We are the vendor that you and your partner spend the most time with. Therefore, your photographer should be a person/duo that you gel extremely well with and have a great connection with. When you work with us, you are more than just clients! You become part of the images by JAC family, and we get so invested in your love! Truth bomb…we may even cry during the ceremony because we love when our couples make a promise to one another to stick through the good times and bad!

What we’re trying to get at is, when investing in a great wedding photographer, be sure to take the above points into consideration as photography is the only tangible thing that you take away from your wedding day that you can look back on for years to come!! Your flowers will fade over time…your playlist from your DJ will fade off into the abyss…your wedding party will return their attire the next day, but your photos are the only thing that you will keep forever from your wedding day!!
