A wedding is one of the most important days in one’s life. It represents the coming together and the fulfilment of love of two individuals who have decided to share their lives with each other. Depending on the ethnicity and origin, every culture has their own specific rituals and customs during a wedding ceremony. India is a diverse country with about 28 states that has their own festivals, traditions and history, and hence there is no one kind of Indian wedding. Depending on the state or region, the marriage customs also vary. Having said that, the Indian sub-continent is known for their flamboyant celebrations and display of colour. Indians tend to celebrate their weddings with panache no matter where they are and hence it is important to keep few tips in minds before hiring a photographer for an Indian marriage photoshoot.
1.Portfolio – The photographer’s portfolio is key to understanding his style and past works. Look at the quality of the images and the number of images available for perusal. A good photographer will display ample images on his social media profiles and website.
2. Creativity– Observe the creativity quotient in the images. Wedding photography has evolved from just clicking images to adding creativity, innovation and style to the frames. The wedding day should be narrated as a fairy tale that is dreamy and romantic. Check if the photographer’s image has the capacity to weave a story just through the visuals.
3. Experience – It is always best to hire a photographer who has previous experience in shooting Indian marriages. This will make it a lot easier for them to cover all the events without missing any.
4. Synergy – Depending on the tradition and region, there are several intricate details and ceremonies in Indian weddings. Communicate the intricacies of the rituals to your photographer so he is aware of them. Through this conversation, you will be able to ascertain if you are able to vibe with the photographer as it is very essential. A good photographer should be intuitive and proactive.
