In today’s world, where technology is much advanced and
everyone owns a DSLR camera, many claim to be into the profession of
photography. Many gaining popularity due to promotion and marketing, and
several others for their niche in the market. But then, very few people are
actually doing wedding photography andvideography as their passion and love for photography and wedding. And
that’s exactly where the difference crawls in.
You excel in anything where your heart lies. Especially in
creative things like photography – you ought to have that flair in exactly what
to frame and that needs an extra dedication. And along with that, there has to
be experience and proper gadgets to complete the package.
So before trusting your wedding day with a photographer to
frame, click and do the editing work of the photos and video clips, here are
few of the things that you should cross-check in that service provider. These
are the segments that contribute towards a unique set of wedding photographs
and video:
1.
Gadgets:
Go for photographers and/or videographers who are using latest technology
equipped gadgets. Brands like Zeiss for lenses and Red Epic Dragon for cameras
stand out for the clarity and detailing of the stills. Also, the use of drones
and pro audio recorders are added must-haves during wedding photography. Look
out for these while hiring a photographer.
2.
Passion
for work: Anyone with good equipment can’t be good enough with the work.
Likewise, an experienced photographer in terms of years can’t be the best too.
If his or her heart lies in wedding and/or photography, go for him or her. The
passionate one would devour his heart out in any project given.
3.
Experience:
Yes, experience does count. And a person who isn’t good enough can’t get his
hands on the job years after years. In return, experience does add to his
already existing flair. Look for a person who has expertise in wedding
photography exclusively.
4.
Willingness
to travel and stay: This one’s is very important. These days couple often
choose destination weddings. A good photographer would travel to places, will
have an eye for beauty in wherever he goes with his models and won’t hurry to
come back without doing cent percent of his job.
5.
Professionalism
yet friendliness: A couple is awkward
and nervous anyway on their d-day. The awkward might ruin a good pose, or an
unready expression might disturb the beauty of the shot. It is the duty of the
photographer to make the couple feel easy and relaxed to bring out the best of
them.
6.
Thinking
differently: This again is one of the main points that create the
difference. Thinking out of the box for a shot, or a pose, or a post-production
work crafts the signature statement of the professional photographer.
7.
Post-production:
Last but not the least the right kind of knowledge to compile, sort and edit
the photographs and video is a Herculean task. A good photographer does all
these with excellence to make the wedding album unique and worth watching years
after.
