How
to choose an Asian wedding photographer for your
wedding
Asian
wedding photographs are cherished keepsakes, passed
down from generation to generation. One of the most
important wedding-related decisions you will make
is choosing an Asian wedding photographer who can
do full justice to the most special day of your
life.
In
order to get the best possible photographs of the
wedding and other events you need to find an
Asian wedding photographer with a unique
talent who can understand the importance of the
day. The task may seem daunting, but the following
guidelines can help you find the right Asian
wedding photographer for your big day.
Understand
your requirements
Sit
down and talk to your family and fiancé to
determine what exactly you require from the Asian
wedding photographer. You would need to work out
among other things what photographic style appeals
to you, what details and events in your celebrations
you would want captured, how many events you require
coverage for, how many photos you require and how
many albums you would like, enlargements made etc.
Seek
personal references
Once
you are clear about your requirements, you should
start your search for a professional Asian wedding
photographer. Personal references are a good way
to start. You can talk to your married friends and
acquaintances to see if they can suggest a good
Asian wedding photographer.
Search
in an Asian wedding directory
Your
Dream Shaadi's online Asian wedding directory has
detailed listings of
Asian wedding photographers.
You can browse through their portfolios and
also find photos taken in similar environments as
your wedding venue. Then compile a list of the
Asian wedding photographers whose
work you have liked so that you can contact them
personally.
Conduct
personal interviews
You
can then set up a consultation meeting with each
Asian wedding photographer you have shortlisted
and advise him/her of your requirement and the wedding
venue where the Asian wedding photographer will
be shooting.
Most
Asian wedding photographers will be happy
to answer your questions. When you interview the
Asian wedding photographers, you may wish to ask
them about their photography style; the amount they
would charge for duplicate prints, albums, enlargements
etc.
Do
also enquire how soon would they show you the pictures
for selection and what would be the time frame for
preparing the pictures you have selected into albums
or enlargements.
Other
questions for your Asian Wedding Photographer include
whether they will shoot the pictures personally
and how many hours coverage they will give you for
each event.
Don't hesitate to ask them about additional costs
for second photographers and if there are any travel
and overtime fees involved.
When
discussing album costs, insist on looking at sample
albums so you can address their quality and view
all options available.
You
should also ask each of the Asian
wedding photographers to show you a complete
coverage of a single wedding to see how consistent
their talent is, rather than showing you 2 or 3
winning shots from various weddings.
Compare
quotes
Compare
prices of the Asian
wedding photographers but at the same time
keep in mind that wedding photography talent does
come at a oruce. Make sure that there is a balance
between the quality and price.
Sign
a contract
Once
you have shortlisted an Asian wedding photographer,
sign a contract with the vendor. Be very specific
about the price, timeline of the event, number of
photographs, extra charges, if any so that there
are no unpleasant surprises later.
Book
well in time
It
is advisable to book the Asian wedding photographer
at least six to eight months in advance. There is
a great demand for reputed
Asian wedding photographers and they
will be snapped up very fast, especially during
the peak wedding months.
