If you’re looking to choose an elopement photographer in NYC, there are so many options in can be overwhelming. There are a few things to consider when deciding who will photograph your elopement in New York.
Where is your Elopement Venue?
Where are you getting married? Are you having a City Hall wedding? A Central Park wedding? Some photographers specialize in certain venues. Make sure your elopement photographer is familiar with where you’re eloping.
What kind of experience does your elopement photographer have?
Does your photographer know how to photograph elopements and work with couples like you? I have been an elopement photographer in NYC for over 15 years and know all the best spots to take couples, how, how to deal with unpredictable weather, have worked with all different kids of couples, and know how things work at City Hall. If having a guide for your elopement in NYC is important to you, make sure you get a photographer is experienced!
What kind of photos are in your elopement photographer’s portfolio?
Make sure you look through elopement photographer’s portfolios to see what speaks to you. Do you want things more emotion filled or more formally posed? Are you interested in a more high fashion look or more candid moments? Do you want a photographer who is used to working with folks who might be a little shy? My style is capturing joy and intimate moments while helping everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. I am very accustomed to working with couples and people who tell me they are camera shy and I promise to help make the process as easy as possible. I will help you through every step of the way. Every photographer has their own style and method, so make sure you find someone whose work you enjoy!
What kind of editing do you want from your elopement photographer?
The colors and finished product are part of how your elopement photographer will present their work and usually can’t be altered. Make sure you like the coloring and vibe of their portfolio before you hire an elopement photographer. I work in a more true to color, vibrant style rather than something more dark moody. Your elopement photos that I deliver will capture your day with the colors as it happened and be timeless for years to come.
What kind of nyc elopement packages does your photographer offer?
Are you looking to have an officiant included? I can do that for any package! I also offer NYC elopement packages starting from one hour and can customize things in half hour increments. I’m happy to design an elopement package to best meet your needs! I can also hook you up with any other vendors you might need to make your NYC elopement the best it can be.
When will you receive your elopement photos?
When working with an elopement photographer, make sure you see a full gallery so you know what to expect and have a contract in place so you know when you will receive your images. I make sure all my clients get a sneak peek the same day as their elopement and they receive their full gallery in 4-6 weeks time.
What is your elopement photographer’s booking process?
Every photographer has a different process to hire them for your elopement. I ask for a signed contract and 50% retainer to hold your NYC elopement date. Make sure you let me know as soon as you select your date.
Does your elopement photographer have reviews?
Make sure you have a reputable photographer! Check google reviews and other reputable review sites to make sure you have a photographer who knows what they’re doing. As an elopement photographer in New York for many years, I have had many happy clients share their reviews on google and other sites around the web.
