Finding the Right Wedding Photographer in Delhi - Things to Consider

When it comes to wedding photography there are many photography companies that provide modern and traditional photography. These are taking photography to the next level and bringing printed memories to life no matter where they might be. Photography has advanced; you no longer need massive amounts of equipment that made handling wedding ceremonies or receptions in unusual locations. There are a number of important factors to consider when choosing your wedding photographer in Delhi:

Services:

Firstly it is important to decide what you want from your photographer, now this is a complex part as there are so many options; firstly you need to know what you will get on the day from the photographers you hire.

Location:

It is important to hire a photographer who is in a similar location to you (obviously if the wedding is in a different location this can add to the cost) because it makes meeting them earlier to the wedding and post-wedding much, much easier. It also means that any problems you have after the event can be handled in person, with ease. When you have made a few selections of photographers whose style you like and look to offer you a package, it is a useful tool to actually meet a few of them, there is nothing worse than having a photographer who you just don't like trying to photograph your wedding.

Portfolio & References:

You should start looking for a photographer who offers all that you require, it is very important that you do two things, check the portfolio of work the photographer has in their collection, and you should look for images with a number of different brides and grooms, it is all very easy for photographers to have gathered their portfolio from wedding workshops only (these are where they work with models on the shots). A range of people will help to show they have more experience. Secondly, if they are any good they will be more than happy if you ask them about references. Speaking to actual brides/grooms who have used them will help assess not only the quality of the photography but also how they were as attendants at your wedding. The wedding photographer has to be in many cases unassuming while in others demanding the attention of large groups (if formal style photos are requested). Many wedding photographers get a large portion of their work through word of mouth (especially if they are good).

Another important aspect of choosing your photographer while you are looking at the portfolio of work the photographer does is to see if the style is something you are keen on. For many years formal staged photos were the in thing, these days a reportage style is more popular, again your choice here will dictate whom you look to hire.

Cost:

So you have decided on the style you want and what services you want, the next thing many people will now do is look to price as a means of choosing the wedding photographer in Delhi for their upcoming wedding, and this is where the biggest mistakes are often made. These days, since the advent of digital photography, large numbers of people see photography as a way of making a fast buck, and there are a lot of people who lay claim to being "professional" wedding photographers, yet do not possess the skills or experience to be able to complete the job well (a simple search online will show you lots of horror stories of people who thought cheap was OK). Now everyone who offers a low price is trying to rip you off, it is a simple word of warning, check their portfolio thoroughly, and make sure they can deliver. Often those charging a premium do so because they have the ability and reputation to do so.
