Your wedding day only happen once!
It should be the realization of a wonderful dream come true. A time when all of your favorite people in your life come together to celebrate your love with your special someone. Definitely a day that you want to have immortalized. You wouldn't miss any chance you can get to relive all the memories from it long after its over. And we're all about keepsakes! Of course, the best way to do that is with incredible wedding photography. Truth be told, getting those perfect shots isn’t always easy-peasy. The day is usually crazy and chaotic. With just a blink of an eye, you can miss to capture prime moments. To make matters worse, most people aren’t comfortable in front of the camera and end up looking stiff and awkward even though they are having a blast at the wedding. And the very worst of the worst is ending up with a lousy wedding photographer. Sadly, having worked with different photographers over the years, I would definitely agree that not all things are created equal and so are photographers. Some lack skill and experience, while others simply don’t know how to handle weddings. Shooting photos of a special event and working with inexperienced models are totally different worlds. It takes a particular understanding and of course demeanor to excel as a wedding photographer. But how do you choose the right wedding photographer for you? Everyone has a different eye for what is beautiful, yes? It's always, to each his own. That's why it is essential that you are on the same page as your photographer. Your wedding album might be the only thing you will get to cherish for your entire life and a treasure your children's children can hold on to. It’s also a beautiful collection of memories from one of the best days of your life. You would only want the perfect wedding album! The only way to get your dream shots, however, is to find that exceptional wedding photographer! So here’s everything that you need to do to find the perfect wedding photographer in Tacloban City and around the region, Eastern Visayas. 1. Define your style. When working with a wedding photographer, it is so crucial to define your style. Are you someone who likes traditional portraits? Or you'd prefer relaxed and candid shots? Unconventional and artistic? Or a healthy mix of everything? Saving samples of your favorite shots and explaining why you love them would save you both time. Make sure to save shots that you don’t like as well, to avoid awkward moments during the shoot. Wedding photographers are not mind readers, anyway, who are? 2. Create a photo Checklist. Before you hire anyone to shoot your wedding, it’s essential to work through all of the details in advance. Talk to your fiancé about what styles you love both and which ones you don’t like. You would want someone who will capture your vision and add their own artistic flair to your photos. In the end, finding a good wedding photographer could be the difference between creating memories that you can look back on for a lifetime or have photo albums that sit in your storage space gathering dust for years. 3. Find the perfect venues. Again, it is all about finding your own style. Decide what kind of atmosphere you would like to create because that “vibe” will translate into your wedding photos. Finding the perfect venue is more than just going to a beautiful place. 4. Ask help from Uncle Google (be specific on the key words) Do your research and take notes of what you have discovered. 5. Check out social media platforms Facebook and IG are the perfect marketplaces. 6. Check out portfolios The very first quality to look for in a wedding photographer is someone with an artistic vision. Anyone can press a button on a camera but, for your special day, you need something much more than clicking. A good photographer is, by nature, someone with an eye for the perfect image. By looking at their portfolio of work, you’ll quickly understand their attention to detail, how effortlessly they capture beauty, colours, and emotions in their photos. 7. Value vast wedding photography experience, and experience shooting in the region is a PLUS Experience is typically also the first and foremost quality that we look for in a wedding photographer, and why not? This is a once in a lifetime event so don't shortchange yourself please! A vast experience in shooting locally is also a plus factor. The whole region is rich in history and beauty, and the best way to capture its essence in a photo is to capitalize on its unique charms. By featuring iconic, picturesque spaces with our stunning sceneries, you can create a one-of-a-kind homey feel. 8. Ask your circle or friends who just got married for referrals They will surely get a lot of valuable feedback from personal experiences. 9. Professionalism and Punctuality When you finally got a shortlist, reach out. Like most careers, professionalism is one of the essential qualities in a photographer, especially since it requires working in a formal social environment. Dealing with a huge crowd requires some expertise as well as social adeptness. This means managing the social element effortlessly while still being able to maintain a focus on the art. One thing too, is that you can often get a feel for this pretty quickly. Judging by how long it takes for them to reply to messages, how the first meeting goes, and other basic elements, you will get a good sense of his or her professionalism. 10. Do Interviews It is incredibly easy to find a good wedding photographer in Eastern Visayas, but finding the right one for your own wedding would take some time and dedication so come prepared to do interviews and really put some thought into it! This business of blending of personalities helps to better align the project and prevent any hiccups from dampening enthusiasm on your big day. That sums up pretty much everything so far! Much has been said, when at the end of the day it's still all about what your heart desires.
