How We Choose The Wedding Photographer Or Videographer For You

Matched to your style. Made for your day.

One of the most common questions we hear from couples is: “Do I get to choose my photographer?” It’s a great question, and we completely understand why it matters to you. After all, each photographer has their own style and they will be there for some of the most intimate moments of your life.

The short answer? Not exactly—but here’s why our approach is actually better.

Do I get to choose a specific photographer?

At Love In Focus, we carefully match you with a team member who aligns with your vibe and vision after you book. You won’t need to work hard to choose a photographer. Instead, you will get something even better: our signature Love In Focus look, no matter who takes your photos. All our photographers and videographers follow the same editing style and standards, so you will receive the aesthetic you loved when you picked us.

Even better, you’re not just hiring one photographer—you’re backed by our entire team. If any issues arise, whether it’s an emergency or a scheduling conflict, we have experienced professionals ready to step in seamlessly.

You get peace of mind knowing your day is protected, along with the beautiful, cohesive imagery that defines Love In Focus.

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Love in Focus! From start to finish, they were absolutely incredible. Our photographer, Moe, was professional, friendly, and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire day.”
— The DeSanto’s

How We Select The Photographer For You

A simple flow that pairs you with the best team member for your wedding then keeps everything organized from first call to final gallery.

Book & get portal access

After your initial meet-and-greet with one of our coordinators, you will be granted access to the client portal. This is where you can find your proposal, receive notifications about payments and invoices, and access all email threads and messages.

No more digging through email chains or wondering if your message got lost. Everything is centralized—updates, planning details, questions, and shot lists—all in one place. It’s streamlined to make your life easier during this busy time.

Answer a short questionnaire

In the client portal, you will find a questionnaire designed to understand your photography preferences. This includes the types of shots you want to include to fully capture your vision for your gallery, your preferred style (such as posed, candid, or documentary), and any specific moments you want to ensure are captured, among other details.

We also ask about your personalities, your vision for the day, your vibe as a couple, and what matters most to you in telling your story.

We match your photographer

Our team reviews your responses and matches you with the photographer whose personality and working style will complement yours best.

Some couples want someone energetic and outgoing who can rally the group. Others prefer someone calm and observant who blends into the background.

We’ve worked with hundreds of couples, and we know how to make the right pairing.

Meet & plan together

You will receive an introduction through the portal and arrange a brief call to meet them.

During this call, you can ask any questions and discuss your expectations, comfort level, and the overall flow of the session. This is also when we will plan your engagement session if you have decided to include one.

Stay connected in the portal

Through the portal, everything is streamlined. Any changes to shoot dates or additional photo and video requests are communicated through the portal.

Centralized planning, chat, and updates eliminate scattered email threads and missing details.

Final pre-wedding check-in

About a week before your wedding, we’ll schedule a final call with you and your photographer and/or videographer.

This is where we review your shot list, confirm your timeline, go over any last-minute details, and make sure everyone is completely aligned.

By the time your wedding day arrives, there are no surprises. Your photographer knows exactly what you want, and you know exactly what to expect.
