Questions to Ask Yourself and Your Tamil Wedding Photographer in the UK

A Tamil wedding is an energetic occasion with a many things going on at once. Once you have poured your, heart and soul into the planning of the wedding, there will be that increased desire to ensure each moment is captured and preserved in time. With such a busy schedule, it would be unreasonable to expect that you will have time to keep an eye on which pictures are being taken and when. Preparation is therefore key when it comes to asking the right questions to your photographer before the actual event. Tamil Hindu wedding photography is not an easy feat to achieve and takes considerable stamina and experience to document it effectively.

When shortlisting a photographer, here are my suggestions on the initial two things to consider:

• Do you resonate with their portfolio and style? It is important to do your research and choose someone whose work speaks to you. An experienced Tamil Hindu wedding photographer will be more than happy to show you the breadth of their work and not just a few images on their website.
• Make sure you have a rapport with them on a personal level. The more you are at ease with the photographer, the more authentic and natural your wedding photos will be.

Once you have made your short-listed decision, you may consider asking your Tamil wedding photographer in the UK the following questions:

The Basics

• Are you available on my required dates?
• How far in advance do I need to book you?
• How many Tamil weddings have you covered?
• Are you familiar with Tamil Hindu wedding traditions and culture?
• Can I see examples of some similar work?

Photography Style

• How would you describe your photography style? (traditional, fine-art, creative, photojournalistic)
• What would you say is your working style? (discreet or more visible )
• Will I be able to get portraits and formal shots along with candid?
• Can you photograph indoor and outdoor events?
• Are you open to discuss ideas on the types of photos I would like captured?

Logistics

• Will you be shooting the wedding personally, or will you have assistants attending?
• What type of equipment will you use and do you have a backup in case of an emergency?
• Do you have a backup plan in case you are unable to cover my wedding for some reason?
• Would you like to check out the venue before the wedding?
• At what time will you arrive at the site?
• If events last longer than planned, will you stay? Will there be an extra charge?
