Hiring a Wedding Photographer in Katy: The Modern Couple's Guide
Style, deliverables, contracts, second-shooters — here's how to choose a Katy wedding photographer in 2026.
By Experts of Katy Editorial
A great wedding photographer is the single best $4-9k you'll spend. Here's how to choose right.
Match style first
Look at full galleries (not just Instagram highlights). Do you want light, airy, romantic? Or moody, editorial, dramatic? Katy wedding photographers each have a signature look.
Ask for a wedding album, not just teasers
Anyone can edit five great shots. You want to see how their second-shooter, reception, and dancing photos look.
Contract must specify
- Hours of coverage and overtime rate
- Second-shooter included? Hourly rate?
- Deliverables: edited count, RAW available, print rights
- Backup plan if photographer is ill
- Delivery timeline (8-12 weeks is typical)
