5 Reasons Why You Need To Hire A Professional Photographer For Your Wedding

1. Photography is not a part-time job.

Getting yourself an amateur photographer or just a neighbor who is good with photography may end up in regrets later, because photography is not just a clicking of the camera.

Many techniques employed by professional photographers include Lighting, Positioning, and some other photography jargon that your newbie photographer may have no knowledge of.

I once attended a wedding and I attempted to take a photoshoot with the couple. After the shoot, I went to take the hard copy, and guess what? The camera focus was on the bride’s face, not on all three of us.

It happened that I could not get any photograph, of the five I requested to take with the couple.

What did I do? Nothing! Because the wedding is gone, and I lost the chance of being photographed with the couple on their wedding day.

2. Professionalism is a Factor

A magic shot from a professional photographer, taken at the right second and under the best light effects, with some slight editing could evoke so much love, nostalgia, and happiness from the viewers or you and your spouse.

Maybe you could compare this with a photo taken by just a random camera user or some newbie.

When your wedding pictures are taken by professional photographers, and you look through them, you have a feeling of Deja Vu, because, all the enhanced details relive the moment as if you were taken to the past through some magic gate or something.

3. Not Everyone With A Camera Is A Photographer

Some weather conditions require special and different photography lenses, and that, you will agree with me, is only known to a professional photographer.

When there are weather changes, the professional photographer knows what Camera to bring, that is suitable for the weather and still gives you the perfect wedding photographs.

4. Editing is part of Photography

From the Portrait feature to the brightness, the contrast, saturation, double exposure, and so on, the photographer needs to concentrate and apply all his lessons from the photography school.

Walking down the Aisle, if a tear falls off your eyes, the photographer must capture it, alongside all the emotion and happiness your face is emitting, and the viewers will be captivated, as if they were there, or experiencing it again.

5. Passion is Photography

A professional photographer is working for you not only for the pay, but for the passion they put into doing what they love.

Try to watch one of them from the corner of your eyes and see them smiling brightly, lovingly, and emitting so much passion.

They share your passion and are determined not to mess up your wedding.

They capture your kiss, and they capture your cousins playing around, with their fast-clicking cameras.

Another thing is, some cameras are faster than others, so they may be just the perfect ones to capture the couple’s kiss.

I’ll bet that your friend or neighbor who takes good pictures with their iPhone has no knowledge of camera speed, picture quality, editing, and organizing photographs into Albums.

Conclusion

Your friend or neighbor may be very good at taking pictures with iPhone or some digital camera, but that doesn’t make them qualified to capture your once-in-a-lifetime occasion.

They do not know professionalism. They do not love what they are not as passionate about as you are.

A professional photographer ensures that he writes the story of your wedding in the photographs, very clear and beautiful, and the moments of the wedding can be relived, over and over.
