Planning a wedding can be overwhelming. You have to choose your dream wedding dress, decide on a venue, draw up an invitation list, think about food and music… And then you have to choose a wedding photographer. They’ll capture your day, your memories. The photographer will tell the most important day of your life. They aren’t just images that you, as a couple, will cherish. The photographs will be passed down from generation to generation. Wedding photographers take their jobs seriously. So, when asked to disclose some of their secrets, they jumped at the opportunity. These are the secrets wedding photographers want you to know.

1.      They Hope You Ask for Their Help

After the celebration is over and your wedding becomes less vivid, it’s the photographs that help you live on and remember those special moments. Perhaps you want to save money. Regardless, it’s not a good idea to skimp on a good wedding fotograf. The best way to achieve professional-grade photos of your wedding ceremony is to hire a photographer. Don’t hire your friend as a wedding photographer. If it’s one thing you should splurge on at your wedding, let it be photography. You won’t get this chance again. When else are you going to have your family and friends gathered in the same place?

2.      They Want You to Ask About Experience

Wedding photographers take pride in what they do. Naturally, they love it when clients ask: ‘Can you please tell me about your experience?’ or ‘How would you deal with x situation?’. Experience is the most straightforward way of separating amateurs from professionals. When you ask questions like the one listed earlier, you understand the reason why you’re hiring a professional photographer rather than someone who holds the camera wrong. By hiring a professional, you get quality images that you can share with your loved ones. They understand lighting, location, and editing.

3.      They Don’t Love Table Shots

Surprising or not, photographers dislike taking shots at wedding tables. This means going from table to table and interrupting guests. Plus, it’s the least favorite part of the day because little to no creativity is involved. Even if it’s a hassle, some don’t mind doing it. Every wedding is different, so it’s impossible to guarantee perfect shots. So you know, the aim of the wedding photographer is to capture the event in all its greatness. They can’t always get a picture of your aunt.

4.      They’re Sick of Trying to Re-Create Pinterest Shots

If you’re like everyone else, you use Pinterest for inspiration to design your wedding. Wedding photographers find Pinterest annoying, and they’re tired of trying to re-create what you saw there. If you were hoping to bring your wedding-day vision to life, you’d be disappointed. It will never look perfect. The photographer might have gotten lucky on previous occasions, but there’s no guarantee it will happen at your wedding. Unrealistic expectations can be harmful. When someone posts their perfect wedding on Pinterest, you don’t get to see the planning and mishaps. All you see is perfection. Perfection doesn’t exist.
