You're engaged! It's the start of something amazing.

Here's something worth knowing first:

There are things no one tells you about choosing a wedding photographer.

This 10-minute read could make all the difference in how you experience your wedding day, and the photos you carry for a lifetime. 

No spam, ever. Unsubscribe any time. Your information is kept private.

You're doing your research, and that's the right instinct.

You've looked at portfolios. Compared packages. Scrolled through wedding blogs and sites trying to understand what makes one photographer worth more than another. But it can be hard to tell when you don't truly know what to look for. Hint: it's not only their photos.

Here's what those sources rarely give you: the perspective of someone who has been in the industry a long time and has seen what separates a beautifully documented day from one that fell short of what the couple hoped for.

That's what this guide is. Not a checklist from a wedding magazine. Not generic advice, but an experience-based look at the five things that really matter when choosing your photographer.

What's inside the guide

Five truths, each one addressing a piece of the planning that's easy to get wrong, especially when you're in new territory of venues and vendors.

| Why generic wedding advice can send you in the wrong direction — and where to get guidance that's actually relevant to your day.
 
| What price really reflects — and how to weigh cost against what's actually at stake.
 
| The difference between a photographer who's there for you — and one who's there for their portfolio. (Both can take beautiful photos.)
 
| Why engagement sessions aren't the compatibility test you may have been told they are.
 
| The one factor that matters (almost) more than the photos themselves — and how to evaluate it before you book.

Lucy Baum: Montreal Wedding Photographer

With a background in psychology and over ten years photographing weddings in Montreal and beyond, I created this guide because I kept seeing the same mistakes, and they're all avoidable. My goal isn't to sell you on working with me (though it's possible we are the right fit!) It's to make sure you walk into this process with the perspective you need to make a decision you'll feel good about for the rest of your life.
