"why book a catholic photographer for my catholic wedding?"
You may be wondering, is it really that important for my Photographer to share my faith?
"If they're an experienced Photographer and have done a Catholic Wedding before does it really matter?"
While it's incredibly important to find a Photographer who is experienced and whose style you love, it may be more important than you think to find a Photographer who also shares your faith and values.
Here are some reasons why you SHOULD book a Catholic Photographer for your Catholic Wedding
reverence
Catholic Photographers understand the sacredness of the Mass and honor that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist.
They know where it's appropriate to walk and when.
This gives you, as the bride, peace of mind as well as the church.
details
A Catholic Photographer understands the importance of including rosaries, prayer cards, crucifixes, and Saint statues in your photos.
time restraints
Most churches give you a time limit for photos in the church after Mass due to confessions or the Saturday Vigil Mass.
A Catholic Photographer is used to these time restraints and makes your timeline accordingly beforehand.`
lighting
Most churches don't allow flash photography during Mass (understandably).
Catholic Photographers are well versed in different lighting situations to accommodate this rule.

knowledge of the litury
Knowing where to stand is crucial for capturing a Nuptial Mass well.
Every church has rules on where Photographers are allowed to be and when.
Because a Catholic Photographer understands the Order of the Mass, they can plan where to be next while also abiding by the church's rules.
your eyes, your vision
Your Photographer acts as "your eyes" for your day.
Photographers naturally capture what they find important.
If you and your Photographer's values align on something as important as faith, they're better equipped to make your vision come to life.
