Is wedding photography really that important in 2022?
Unless you have spent the last 6 months living under a rock, you know that the cost of everything is going up. A lot.
So if you are starting planning to get married, you might find yourself in a tricky spot. Everything costs more than what you were expecting, and there is a good chance your budget might blow up.
And then, a thought started making its way into your mind…what If I hire a super cheap photographer? Or maybe, what if I saved a chunk of money skipping the wedding photographer altogheter?
In this article, I will explain why this is absolutely not a great idea.
The choice is really yours, but those are a few reasons why you should invest your money into a great wedding photographer.
Are you ready? Let’s start!
This is not your birthday!
It sounds obvious but it’s true. If something goes wrong on your birthday, well, there’s another one next year…so it’s not the end of the world after all.
But this is your wedding! You are spending countless hours planning and organising it. And you are not planning on getting married again, aren’t you?
This is the reason why wedding photographers charge high fees. Because they have only one opportunity to get the job done and to do it well!
Keep beautiful memories forever
Nowadays we all have a camera in our pocket. So you might be tempted to just ask your friend or a parent to get a quick snap here and there with your phone.
That’s a bad idea!
You can still have an amazing day without a photographer, for sure. But once everything is gone, all you’ll have will be a few crooked photos and your memories.
And guess what? We are humans, and we tend to forget things too easily!
A professional photographer will deliver amazing photos that will last a lifetime. So in 30 years’ time you can go back, check the photos of the day again, and say something like “look at that, I forgot how beautiful those flowers looked!”.
Memories are priceless.
Wedding photography is no joke
In 2022, a great photographer is not just someone who shows up and takes pictures at your wedding.
Most of the photographers out there have developed amazing interpersonal skills to make you and your guests feel at ease.
They are super skilled in time management too. A wedding day is jam-packed and the schedule is tight! Having someone that keeps everything and everyone on time is essential.
They are also experts in problem-solving. Lots of stuff can go wrong on a wedding day, and a great photographer will be there ready to save the day.
Conclusion
As you can see, having a wedding photographer is essential. And you don’t just need any photographer, you need a great one!
From solving your problems during your wedding day to keeping your memories safe for the years to come, a wedding photographer is not the vendor you want to save money on.
True, they cost a lot of money! But it’s totally worth it. Memories are priceless, keep that in mind.
Think about it. Would you prefer a cheap and inexperienced pilot to fly you around or a more expensive but well-trained one that will deliver on his promise and your expectation?
