Tips Memilih Wedding Photographer/Videographer

Assalamualaikum, hi dearies!

For those who are getting married (Congratulations!) and seeking photographer/videographer, these are the tips that I can share with you based on my experience.

Tips for choosing wedding photographer/videographer:

1. Know your budget.

2. Check for their work on Web, Instagram, Facebook, any social media. Use you stalking skills!

3.  Editing skills. Penting tau.. tapi jangan la jenis yang over edit sampai muka macam kartun. Kalau tak reti edit pun bahaya, nanti kesian la gambar yang hitam berminyak takda sapa nak cerahkan :p

4. Read the reviews from their previous client

5. Make price comparison with the items and package offered

Contoh: album berapa page, types of finishing for the album cover – leather/kaca/etc, coverage photographer/videographer dari pukul berapa, etc)

6. Mileage - transportation cost. Included ke tak and how much?

7. Video - berapa minit?

Important for you to discuss with them your expectations. Kalau boleh untuk video tak perlu berlakon (kena salam banyak kali ke) let it be natural. Pelik tau bila berlakon ni, jadi tak cantik.

A good photographer can take nice pictures even with a bad surrounding/condition if they know how to apply the right angle and camera setting.

Make sure before the photographer print out your album, you CHOOSE and CONFIRMED first your pictures, and also the arrangement. In my case, I didn’t get the chance to choose the pictures for my album which end up ada gambar yang tutup mata dan tak clear. It’s even sadder because when I check the softcopy, they actually got a lot of other better pictures!  I just don’t know why they choose the wrong pictures. Maybe they didn’t check before printing? L Sad but past is past, I don’t want you guys to experience the same thing okay? J

Maybe your budget is very tight and you want to choose the cheapest among all your existing choices but, bear in mind that don’t ever compensate price with quality. Ada yang offer murah tapi gambar tak cantik, ada yang mahal tapi output superb.. Banyak aspek untuk di consider but still, depends on you. Any decision that you made - make sure jangan menyesal dikemudian hari.

Like my uncle said – “mahal ada sebab, murah ada sebab.”

So choose carefully ok?

I hope this helps, and you’ll get the best wedding photographer/videographer ever. J
