All set to hire a wedding photographer for your Big Day? Beware! Avoid the common misconceptions about professional wedding photographers. Discussed here is what you should know –
Misconception #1: Wedding photographers charge too high for what you get
Fact: Weddings are expensive, especially if you are getting married in lavish places like Dubai or New York. Having said so, it is also important to know why wedding photography might seem too much exaggerated than what you are getting. To shoot your special day in the best possible way, one needs two leading cameras capable of shooting in low light conditions, professional-grade lenses, lighting equipment, memory cards, photo editing software and a computer with good technical specifications. Adding to it are the business expenses that Dubai photography studios have to bear. So, the price is often not hyped.
Misconception #2: I will get fantastic wedding photos just by hiring someone who has a good camera
Fact: If that is so, why not have a friend, with a good camera, to shoot your wedding? Remember, it is not just cameras that make superb photos. Great wedding photographers have mastered the knowledge of design, lighting, psychology, color, body language and other skills that they serve on as a package on your plate, in addition to huge investment in equipment. If your wedding photos are important, make sure that you choose someone who has a great track record and years of experience.
Misconception #3: Photographers who are good with portraits or nature will do a superb job with my wedding
Fact: That depends. In photography, varied subjects demand varied levels of proficiency. Someone good at clicking birds may be clueless about taking candid shots or framing wedding venue Dubai most beautifully. To be safe, hire someone who has vast experience and skills only in wedding photography.
Remember, just because you have liked someone’s work doesn’t mean he or she will shoot your wedding most beautifully. It is important that you ask a lot of questions and pour your heart out about your expectations and inspirations. When two personalities mesh that great wedding photography is created!
