Tips On Selecting An Event Photographer

By Dexter Golez

An event photographer is someone who you want to photograph your wedding. You will want them to posses a few qualities such as style, motivation, experience and good communication. A well trained event photographer will only posses these qualities through experience, so making sure that they are well trained and can focus on what you want is important.

There are different styles for every event photographer. You will want to make sure that your ideas about your wedding will coincide with their style. Otherwise a horrible experience might be the end result. Depending on the style that your event photographer will use will differ. Traditional and wild are two extreme styles of photographers. Photos of the bride and groom, and the wedding party are examples of a traditional style. Bizarre styles can be anywhere from being completely serious in all of the photographs to making funny faces.

An event photographer should be highly motivated, try to find one who is. You do not want to have someone who is inactive and sitting around missing all the good pictures they could be capturing. Motivation is not just about wanting to do the job, but finding a way to enjoy it and bring trust as well as good verbal communication to everyone as well.

Over time is the only way an event photographer will gain experience. Make sure you question your photographer how long they have been in the business, where they went to school and for how long, and who they were employed with before they went into business for themselves (if that is the case). This should help you when making a clear decision on an event photographer. If they are now employed by themselves you can find out what kind of quality they produced when they were employed by asking their former employer. Its better to find out now even if it is kind of a sneaky way of getting the information.

Being relaxed around your event photographer will make things go smother. And they should try to make you feel comfortable and relaxed when around them. This will help them in capturing the precious photos later on at your wedding. You will see the emotion in the wedding pictures if you are nervous around your event photographer. - 2364
