Call them romantic or sacred, a wedding is one of the most critical events in a person’s life. It’s a time of forgiving and sharing, knowing both the people are embarking on a new journey that will change their personalities forever. If you had included a professional photographer in the preparations for the engagement session, it’s a good idea to hire them again for professional wedding photography. Seeing a tried and tested familiar face behind the camera will make you comfortable throughout the event. A seasoned wedding photographer will ask you to create a checklist of photographs you must have from the ceremony.
Over a decade of experience as a full-time professional photographer
Everybody is excited about a wedding in the family and needs permanent memories from the event. The question is how to select the best person for the task to capture all of those special moments. Considering there are many professional shutterbugs in town, you’ll need to find someone with the right equipment and mindset.
Does the person use a professional camera and lighting gear, plus have the skills in Photoshop to make your images looks their very best? A professional wedding photographer is also a good editor and will take the time to choose only the best images. Once the images are edited and adjusted, a full-time professional photographer will provide the images promptly by either uploading them to a secured server or providing an external hard drive. A professional wedding photographer has the skills in photoshop to handle requests such as retouching or convert some shots to sepia/ black and white. The original photographs from your professional wedding photographer will be shot in a RAW format and sent as high-resolution jpg but these files take time to transfer. This is necessary to capture all of the detail and tone when making large prints. The file size can always be reduced to make it suitable for sharing via the internet or as a profile picture.
Your guests need to be comfortable with the photographer because they will be spending the whole day with them. The photographer might ask the guests to adjust their hair and clothing or pose a certain way.
Good soft skills and positive body language are essential for a photographer at a sophisticated wedding ceremony. Being sharp-dressed, confident, and kind will ensure positive rapport with the guests and family members. A photographer with active listening and a good sense of humor will impress everyone and make them comfortable in front of the camera. A wedding photographer with over a decade of experience will be a blessing. Maturity and a well trained eye make them a perfect choice for photographing the bride and groom at precisely the right time.
