Picking Out An Event Photographer

By Gabriel Golez

An event photographer is someone who you want to photograph your wedding. They should be motivated, have good experience and communication and most likely they will have their own style. Event photographers will only possess these qualities if they are well trained and have lots of experience, so check out their past experiences before hiring them.

Every event photographer will have their own style. Your ideas about your wedding should coincide with the photographer's style. If you don't you could up with a horrible experience. Every event photographer will have a different style. Traditional and wild are two extreme styles of photographers. Classic photographs will consist of those of the bride herself, the groom himself, the bride and groom together, the wedding party, and everyone all together. Making funny faces and having completely serious faces might be considered a wild style.

When selecting an event photographer you will want one who is highly ambitious. You do not want to have someone who is inactive and sitting around missing all the good shots they could be capturing. Motivation isn't just about wanting to do the job, but finding a way to appreciate it and bring trust as well as good verbal communication to everyone as well.

Experience can only come to an event photographer through time. Make sure you question your photographer how long they have been in the business, where they attended 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. Ask their previous employer what kind of work they produced if they are now in business for themselves. It may be a devious way of getting information but it is better to find out then to have horrible photographs produced.

Make sure that you are relaxed around your event photographer. When you are around them they should make you feel comfortable as well. Later on at the wedding, this will help them to capture the precious photos. If you are tense around your event photographer you will see that feeling in your wedding photos.
