One of the challenges couples face in planning their special days is how to choose a good photographer for their events to document all the fun for them i.e wedding,kwanjula,kuhingira,etc. To help you make this simple, we have pointed out the major hints to look at.
- Pick your priority photographers; With so many talented photographers out there,finding the right one for you can be difficult since we’re so many in Uganda more so Kampala. But prioritizing will make you narrow down your list and make the task less hectic. Seeing hundreds of photos from different photographers is overwhelming and therefore you need to focus on those you like the most and those with good reviews on their websites and other social media platforms so that you’re to choose from those.
- Engage with your top choices on social media.
We would definitely recommend reading through the bio on each photographer’s website and start following and commenting on their stories on instagram,facebook posts,etc. This will help you feel connected to them even if you have never met them in person. So it will be easier to relate with them in person. - Don’t over think it;
The photography search process should not be so complicated for you to make it so overwhelming. Since you made your priority list of those whose work you love most already,all you need to do is schedule phone or physical consultations with them and choose the one who makes you most at ease and confident that you will love your photos. - View a full wedding gallery;
Most photographers feature their favorite photos on their websites ,social media platforms,and marketing materials. While it is wonderful to see the best of the best,always ask to see at least one full gallery from a function so that you’re not only viewing their amazing portraits but also how the photographer captures more standard moments like cake cutting,photos with family and friends,guests dancing,etc. - Ask about how they will run the d-day.
While it is key to love your photographer’s work,it is actually more important to understand how you will work together before and during your special day. Find out what information your photographer needs before hand and also discuss the d-day schedule. The day of the event moves so fast so making sure you plan everything like all the detail of “what” and “where” before it is important for the day’s success. - Make your photography budget flexible;Much as it is always important to set an amount that you’re willing to spend on photography,you should leave room for adjustments when need be putting in mind that after all the day’s fun is over,it is the effort of the photography portraits and video that will keep the memories alive.
Conclusion;
It is very helpful to get advice and recommendations from recently married couples and while there are many questions you feel your “good” photographer should answer, do not overwhelm yourself with it. As long as you love their work,they have good reviews from past clients,you understand their process and are within your budget,you’re good to go.
