Hiring a Wedding Photographer? Consider this!

Posted by niaalbert on April 20th, 2021

However, choosing an apt photographer for your wedding is never an easy task. You need to consider several factors, simply because of the fact that you'll be relying on this person to make your special day an enthralling experience. Therefore, while hiring a photographer, keep this quick checklist in mind.

  1. Wedding Photographer vs. Videographer

First, choose. Do you want a wedding photographer, a videographer, or both? A videographer will help capture videos and reels of your special day. Moton pictures. On the other hand, a wedding photographer will enable you to keep a collection of photographs from your wedding. 

Now, a wedding photographer in Hong Kong might know a videographer as well. It is best to go with the known and no indulge in surprises in such cases. 

 

  1. The Photographer’s Portfolio

Never choose a photographer based on whims. Always ask them for a portfolio of previous works they might have done. If it's a wedding portfolio, all the better. A portfolio check will give you an idea about the photographer's style, the backdrop they use. Basically, you'll get an insight into the photographer's vision. While going through their portfolio, you might even stumble upon styles that resonate with your approach towards wedding photography.

  1. Do Not Rely on Social Media Engagements or Google Searches.

Social media likes and appearing on top of google searches could be a valid element to consider for other services. However, don't rely on these algorithms while hiring a wedding photographer in Hong Kong. The number of likes is never directly proportional to the photographer's expertise, so refrain from doing that.

The likes, comments, and engagements could all be from relatives and friends. This, of course, isn't a rule of thumb, but better beware than be fooled. After all, you don't want to stress over someone who'll be by your side throughout the wedding.

  1. Your Comfort

You might have found the best photographer but still might be uncomfortable around them or discussing your vision with them. And that's alright. Let go of them and choose someone you can be comfortable around. Your wedding photographer will be your distant companion through your wedding details, intimate ceremonies, wedding preparations, and even your dress-up and make-up! Hence a photographer who doesn't cause you discomfort and doesn't come in the way of you having some fun is a must. 

You need someone who'll be like your shadow- present, but unknown. Probably making you forget that you are being trailed. Knowing when to press that click button and bring your vision to life. For all of that, my friend, choose a wedding photographer in Hong Kong you can be open to.
