When you think Texas you think big, and weddings in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex reinforce this association with its surrounding prairie land, picturesque lakes and rolling hills. It’s all wide-open spaces, sprawling nature and sweeping romance begging to be photographed. From the Cultural District to the Dallas Arboretum there are countless beautiful settings for your wedding pictures in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and the entire Metroplex offers sophisticated wedding experiences spiced with Western flair!

Picture perfect.
So how do you choose from all the Dallas-Fort Worth wedding photographers to find the perfect one for you? Let others help you narrow your search: Talk with vendors whom you’ve hired or interviewed. Texas wedding professionals work together often so it’s likely that caterers or officiants that you’ve spoken to could recommend some great local wedding photographers. Talk to your friends who’ve married in the Metroplex as well, and ask them how they felt about their photographers and if there’s anything that they’d change if they could. Learn from

their experience!

Before you start interviewing Dallas-Fort Worth photographers, you need to think about what kinds of photographs you want taken. Formal shots of the bride & groom and the entire wedding party are a tradition for a reason: They’re the kind of classic images that brides imagine showing to their grandchildren someday. But in recent years plenty of couples have been supplementing their formal shots with unposed candids to add some effortless elegance to their wedding album. Also, black & white portraits are enjoying a huge resurgence. Most Metroplex photographers can accommodate all of these styles excellently, but they’ll need to plan for it. Besides, by thinking about what you are looking for in advance you’ll get a better idea of their expertise during the interview.

Your lone star photographer.

You can tell a lot about a Northern Texas photographer’s “eye” from their past work. Glance through an album of one entire wedding that they shot (not a “best of” collection of theirs), because it will reveal their whole-day visual style. How comfortable does everybody look in the pictures? Remember, the photographer you choose will be guest at your

wedding, so it’s important that you like them and that they have a natural ease with their work.

There are as many different kinds of photographers in the Dallas/Ft Worth area as the surrounding prairies are wide. Make sure that you’re considering specifically wedding photographers: They should be very familiar with the kind of lighting, appropriateness and timing that go in to capturing a wedding.
