Here’s a simple guide to help you find the right match:


1. Figure Out Your Style

First things first—what kind of photos are you drawn to?

  • Do you love candid, real moments?
  • Dreaming of timeless, elegant portraits?
  • Obsessed with vibrant colors or a moody, cinematic feel?

There’s no right or wrong here, but knowing your preferred style will help you narrow down your choices. Take a look at portfolios and Instagram pages. You’ll start to notice which photographers consistently create the vibe you want.

2. Look Beyond the Highlights

Don’t just look at a few favorite shots. Ask to see full wedding galleries—from getting ready to the party at the end. This will give you a better sense of how the photographer captures all parts of the day, not just the most Instagram-worthy moments.

3. Connect with the Photographer

Your photographer will be with you more than almost anyone on your wedding day—so make sure you vibe with them!

Set up a call or in-person meeting. Are they kind? Easy to talk to? Do they make you feel relaxed and excited? A great connection goes a long way in making your wedding day feel stress-free and fun.


4. Check the Details

Make sure to review:

  • What’s included in their packages (hours, number of photographers, travel, etc.)
  • Turnaround time for your gallery
  • Backup plans in case of emergencies
  • Contracts and cancellation policies

If you’re looking for a Las Vegas wedding photographer, you’ll find plenty of talented pros who offer clear, professional packages and guidance to make your day smooth and memorable.
