Special occasions such as engagements and weddings are once-in-a-lifetime events that need to be captured and cherished for years to come. When you save these images in an album, they turn into lifelong memories that you can fondly look back on and relive any time. 

If you want to hold onto special moments for the rest of your life, your best bet at receiving quality images is by hiring a professional photographer. They have an eye for candid shots, take multiple angles, edit their images efficiently, and deliver high-resolution images that preserve the essence and theme of your event. 

However, each photographer has their own specialization and photographic style, so selecting an event photographer to meet your individual demands can be a tricky decision. To narrow down the options, here’s a list of the top five things to look for when hiring a photographer.

1. Experience
Experience is essential in photography, as it offers assurance that the photographer can work well under pressure and produce stunning results. So before hiring a photographer, make sure to ask them about their past training and years of expertise. 

2. Attention to detail
While a photographer should have the necessary technical knowledge, they should also be able to pay close attention to details, as that will ultimately make your photo stand out. A professional photographer that considers minor details will take shots from different perspectives and create the best possible outcome. 

3. Understands the clients’ needs
Every client has unique requirements, and the photographer must be able to understand them before heading for the shoot. During the initial consultancy, you can gauge whether the photographer is keen on taking your ideas on board. 

4. Portfolio
A photographer should showcase evidence of their portfolio or past collections. It will give you an idea of the quality of the photographer and what kind of style they prefer. 

5. Proper industry gear
A professional photographer should have the appropriate industry gear to carry out your project. So it is vital to find out information about the equipment they use and if they have many props available in their studio to experiment with different themes.
