I'm a portrait photographer keen to transition into wedding photography, so when my fiancé and I were looking for a wedding photographer, I was intrigued to see who was out there. Because it's a big investment of $2,000 or so, we set up three 40-minute Zoom interviews with wedding photographers from the sites Bark and Wedissimo, aiming to find our perfect match. The results were interesting and showed me what to do and what not to do when I eventually enter the world of wedding photography.
First off, we interviewed a youngish woman. She had a very professional manner, but said she had 15 years' experience. In actual fact, little more than a year of that was in wedding photography, though we all have to start somewhere. She had never shot a wedding at the venue where we're getting married either – but that wasn't the dealbreaker.
