3 Things to Consider When Hiring a Tampa Wedding Photographer
This Orlando Indian Wedding was shot entirely indoors at the Hyatt Regency to escape the summer heat. Knowing how to with and without flash in low light conditions is always something you should be looking for when hiring an Orlando wedding photographer.
So excited to get to talk about this topic today, something near and dear to our hearts, a few key things to look for when hiring a wedding photographer, in everyone’s favorite list format. We’ll go ahead and jump right in:
1. Will they be familiar with/sensitive to your particular cultural traditions and background?
There are a few quick way of determining this: Do they have a wide variety of couples in their portfolio? Do the weddings themselves look like what you imagine your wedding will look like? Definitely ask to see full galleries! We’re huge fans of the incredible variety of cultural traditions we get to see while photographing weddings here in Florida
2. Do they excel in different lighting conditions, or struggle outside of their preference?
How will they handle portraits if it's raining, or if their flash dies, or if things run behind and they have 20 minutes to photograph your whole extended family formals? If there’s anything we’ve learned from working as Tampa Wedding Photographers, it’s that weddings are complicated, and each has its own set of challenges. With so many elements at play, there are bound to be complications in each that need to be overcome.
This leads into the last thing to consider:
3. Are they organized and on top of their game?
For this Mixon Fruit Farms Wedding in Bradenton, Florida, the ceremony spot was in full sun, while the recessional aisle was in deep shade. Balancing these two extremes was essential to nailing the shot.
Are their couples waiting months to get their photos? Look for organization cues early in the process: Do they remember special details you've mentioned? Do they keep good track of invoices and contracts? Do other vendors like working with them? These are some early things to look for to make sure you'll get the best experience while looking for a Tampa wedding photographer.
