A lot of wedding planning comes down to timing. You want to make sure that your venues and vendors are booked early. Booking your wedding photographer is no different. This article will explore some strategies for deciding when the right time is to book your wedding photographer.
Confirm Your Wedding Date
The first step you should take in planning your wedding is setting a date. A close second would be booking your photographer. In order to secure the photographer you want you should book as soon as you know the date. The sooner you book, the more likely it is that your date will be open.
Consider Engagement Photos For Save-The-Dates
One thing you should keep in mind when booking your wedding photographer is if you would like to use your engagement photos for save-the-dates or for your wedding invitations. All of my packages include complimentary engagement photos, if you are planning on using them for your save-the-dates, you need to make sure that you have allotted enough time to have the pictures taken, edited, and able to be printed to use.

When is Peak Wedding Season?
Knowing when peak wedding season is important, as your wedding photographer will likely be booked up the closer you get to a peak season wedding date. Spring (March-May) and Fall (October-November) are typically the busiest seasons for weddings. If your wedding falls in either season you might want to consider booking your photographer as far in advance as possible since these dates are likely to fill up fast.
The sooner you can book your photographer, the better. Booking well in advance will allow for the possibility that your date is not already booked. It also allows you to navigate around the very full schedules of photographers around wedding season.
