Why Wedding Photography Should Be A Priority


When it comes to planning your wedding and reception there are a lot of things to think about, consider and budget for. The list will seem endless and you may not know where to start, yet when it comes to wedding planning there are certainly a few things that should be your priority.

Why Wedding Photography is SO Important

The most important part of a wedding is the couple, and that is all that matters at the end of the day. However, when it comes to planning the big day you shall speak to a lot of suppliers, from bridal boutiques, caterers, florists, stationery designers, the list goes on, all these people will tell you how important it is to get it right. Having the best food, getting the right flowers, it is all about the dress that is good, you want to work with passionate people, however are these a priority when planning your wedding and reception? Of course they should be included and I am not saying you should leave out any of these, but are they more important than wedding photography & videography?
I hear about a lot of couples who only have a small budget left for their Photography Services; couples who are struggling to find a wedding photography they like for their wedding coming up very soon, and couples who are not having a wedding photographer as they just cannot afford one. These couples haven’t put very much importance on photography service…

Why is hiring a professional wedding photographer so important?

Is wedding photography in bhubaneswar the most important thing when it comes to your wedding? Nope, not at all, however when it comes to planning your wedding it should be up there on the priority list of things to look at, budget for and book.
Photography services in cuttack is important because it will capture your day, it will capture your sweet memories, it will tell a story, and not just any story, it will tell a beautiful story of your wedding day, a day you will never forget. A story that you can show to your friends and family, your kids, and grandchildren, something you will have and can treasure forever.

One day, and a lot of memories

Earlier I mentioned about couples who didn’t put to much importance on wedding photography, and it can easily be forgotten because on the day itself, you don’t have anything. If you go to a florist they will create beautiful flower bouquets for you, your cake maker will make the most delicious and gorgeous looking cake for your day, the list goes on, the thing is here, these are things and items that will be there on your day, things that you and everyone will see. Yet when it comes to wedding film and photography services you are paying for something you won’t see till after, and the best wedding photographer in cuttack will go unnoticed, your guest won’t even know they are there.

What are you paying for?

When it comes to wedding planning, it is about a lifetime of memories. It is about capturing sweet moments, it is about capturing emotions, it is about being able to relive the day through beautiful photos and videos, it is about smiling at moments that you never knew happened, seeing the emotion on your family, friends and relatives faces, and most importantly of all, having a story you can treasure forever.
If you are just thinking about your wedding and looking at your budget, make sure you maximise your budget for your wedding photography services cuttack, it’s not just a few photos or videos of you and your partner on your wedding day looking beautiful and happy, it is about a beautiful story or memories of your wedding day, from getting ready and smiling with your bridesmaids, to the emotion on your dad or moms face as he or she sheds a tear and looks on with pride. Capturing the beautiful details on your special day after hours and days of planning, from your dress, the beautiful flowers  and venue, capturing the day as it unfolds, capturing the emotion of your family, friends and relatives the nervousness of the groom and bride, all the way through to that first dance, this is not just any story, this is your story.

Things to consider


Maximise your budget. Will the relatives or guests notice if you saved a little money on your flowers, will your guests or relatives really notice if you saved a little on the food, will they notice if the cake isn’t 4 or 5 tiers high? Save a little where you can and maximise your wedding photography budget, it is the only thing you will have left at the end of the day.
Find your style. There are hundreds of best wedding photographer in cuttack to choose from, and most will travel all over the state and even country, take time to decide on a style you like and find a professional photographer that reflects this. Make sure you view more of their work and complete albums, you don’t want one or two beautiful photos or videos, you want a beautiful story that is of high quality through out, from beginning to the the end.
Book quickly. The best wedding photographers get hired and booked up to 2 years in advance, so once you know the date, find your perfect and professional wedding photographer and get them booked.

How NOT to Choose your Wedding Photographer

1. They are Cheap

When choosing your wedding photographer don’t just pick them based on value and what is included, don’t just go with the wedding photographer that includes a free printed album, online gallery, engagement shoot and photo frames just because of the extra bits, they are secondary to the photos that will be captured. It is so important you find and hire a professional photographer that you love.

2. They ‘will do’

Professional wedding photographers love what they do, they have a passion for the capturing beautiful weddings, you may be feeling stressed and many photographers will understand and be able to relate. Just ensure you find the right and professional photographer for you, one that matches your style and one that you can trust and feel relaxed with, go with your gut, if you have no doubts then get them booked! But don’t just say ‘they will do’.

3. They have ‘some’ stunning photos

When viewing a wedding photographers work ensure you see full and completed photos and albums, this maybe online or a hard copy, you want to ensure that all photos and videos are stunning and the quality is exceptional throughout, and not just one or two photos and videos that look great. A good and professional photographer can take stunning photos, a great wedding photographer can tell a story through beautiful photos.

4. They are recommended by the Venue

So you have picked your wedding venue for your special day and booked the date, depending on the venue they may have a list of recommended suppliers, from catering, florists, catering, planners and photographers. This is a great starting place however it is important not to just go off their list and not open your eyes to other alternatives. You may prefer styles of other wedding photographers you may have seen on here for example that are not on their list, you may have met a wedding photographer from their list but not felt completely happy. Don’t compromise on your professional wedding photographer by just reviewing ones recommended by the venue, ensure you get the best wedding photographer you can afford and the one you want.

5. My Friend has a new camera

Be it your friend or relative down the road, wedding photography is more than just a camera. Just because they may have an expensive and branded camera doesn’t mean they have the experience and knowledge to go and capture a wedding. They may love photography, going out at weekends capturing landscape shots, or pictures of the kids playing in the park, however when it comes to weddings it is a dynamic event.
The camera is just a tool and means for capturing the moment, the knowledge, skill and experience is the key to wedding photography. You only get one chance so you want to be in the right place at the right time, you want to ensure you capture that one moment beautifully, you want to ensure you have a sweet story that will help you relive the emotions and happiness in your wedding day.

Final thoughts

All this planning is for one special day only, one day you marry the partner you wish to spend the rest of your life with, one day you share this beautiful moment with all your family, relatives and friends that you love. Make sure you hold onto those memories and don’t look back and wish you had hired a professional wedding photographer.
