With all the costs associated with your wedding day, you may be asking yourself if you can forego the wedding photographer. The short answer to this question is “No.” Your photographer isn’t there just to take pictures of your special day; there are many other reasons.
They’ll make sure you look amazing in your photos.
You want you and your partner to look and feel you’re very best on your wedding day. Your wedding photographer can make this happen. They know all the tricks to help ensure that all the amazingness of your wedding translates into photos (e.g., lighting, poses). With the right experience, your photographer can provide you with beautiful images that make you and your partner look like supermodels.
They’ll ensure your special day looks amazing.
When you think of a wedding photographer, you probably think of someone who photographs the people who attend your wedding. However, this isn’t true. They also capture photos of all your big day’s details (e.g., invitations, flower arrangements, food, cake, wedding venue). They’ll use appropriate lighting and angles in doing so to ensure that every aspect of your wedding day as though it came straight out of a magazine.
They’ll ensure everyone feels comfortable.
You’re bound to feel awkward or nervous on your wedding day, and without a professional wedding photographer, it’ll show. For this reason, you’ll need someone who has a great personality, someone who can make you and your guests feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera. With the right photographer, you and your loved ones may forget they’re taking pictures because they’ll bring out everyone’s natural smiles.
They’ll help enforce the timeline throughout the day.
Working with a photographer who’s organized will ensure that your wedding runs on schedule. They’ll work with whoever is responsible for creating your wedding day timeline. Together they’ll decide how long it’ll take for couple portraits, family, and wedding party photos. Then, on your special day, your photographer will keep everything and everyone on schedule so that they’re able to capture all the photos you’ve requested in a timely manner.
They’ll catch the moments you’ll miss.
Since all of your loved ones will be together in one place on your wedding day there will be lots of important and memorable moments, even sometimes you might miss them because of how busy you’ll be. Your wedding photographer can catch all of these things (e.g., your first kiss as a married couple, your great-aunt grooving on the dance floor) while you spend your time enjoying them.
They’ll conceal any flaws in your photographs.
One of your photographer’s biggest jobs occurs after the wedding is over (a.k.a., the post-production time). This is when your photographer spends time subtly editing your images. While they’ll make sure that they still look natural, they’ll also make sure that they look better (e.g., removing the tiny smudge of lipstick on your cheek in an otherwise gorgeous photo of you). The small flaws can be easily removed, so you have a frame-worthy image. Typically, you won’t even notice the changes that were made, which is why hiring a professional to take your wedding photos is so important.
