Why you need a wedding photographer?
Some might think: "Why should I invest my time, effort and money in booking a wedding photographer if everyone has a smartphone camera ready?". This way of thinking leads to later regrets and should be avoided by all means.
You need a wedding photographer because of the following reasons:
- There is a big difference between making selfies through a mirror and taking official pictures at the ceremony. On your wedding pictures you must look perfect and impeccable, which will be not just your own merit, but also the result of your photographer's skills.
- All the other guests have so many things to do at the wedding: eat, drink, dance, chat… They simply have no time to follow you non-stop and keep taking hundreds of pictures during the whole day.
- Speaking of drinking, it should be noted that when the guests get tipsy, the quality of the pictures they take might become quite miserable. A professional photographer, on the contrary, pays much more attention to the composition and the flash, rather than the glass in his or her hand.
- Do your guests have a tripod or maybe a drone for aerial shots? High-quality wedding photography might include using additional equipment that your average uncle John doesn't possess.
- Post-production is essential, and it includes much more than just applying an Instagram filter on a portrait. If you want your wedding pictures to be true pieces of art you can proudly boast of, you should entrust their post-production strictly to a professional.
Speaking honestly, wedding photographer is a challenging and demanding job. The person with the camera needs to be always on the alert and on the rush, making great mental and physical efforts to get truly impressive shots. This duty can hardly be performed without any previous experience, fundamental skills, stamina and commitment.
