What you really need is a professional who has a wide experience of Asian weddings, large
venues and someone completely reliable who you can really trust to take the best possible
photographs. It's impossible to take your traditional wedding pictures again if you're
not happy with them so don't be tempted to cut costs and entrust your photography to
an amateur.
You want someone who is very experienced in telling a story of Asian and Indian weddings;
Celebrations of this type have complex ceremonies and the capture of all the different elements
and details from the catering, flower arrangements, caterers and the specific details of each
of the religious and cultural services, it is all significant and you need to select
a specialist to cover the celebration. They will be familiar with the emotion and stress
of the day and will have experience in dealing with tricky family situations and the concerns
of the couples. People can come to your Asian wedding from all over, from local visitors
from Luton or Bedfordshire, York or London to others who have made the trip from India.
They should be able to ease tension rather than add to it, if you have difficult family
situations make sure you advise the wedding team beforehand of any requirements.
They should also have excellent technical as well as wedding skills, ensuring that your
photographs are neither too dark nor too underexposed. If you are opting for imaginative photos then
you'll want someone with creative flair who's excited about taking your Asian wedding photos.
They should have a great attitude, positive emotions and want to do the best job possible.
You want the best wedding album possible (a treasured memory) but you don't want your
photographer to monopolise the whole process, a good pro will get the best results as quickly
and smoothly as possible not make it seem like a zoo.
The couple should consider closely each individual's style. Some Indian and Asian wedding photographers
are very visible and organise you and your wedding party at the different venues, others
will take a more discreet approach mingling with the guests and organising people without
them even realising it. Look at the various styles and decide which is right for you as
it is vital that you like their approach and their wedding portfolio.
When they visit your home think about how comfortable you feel talking to them, remember
that the photographers will be a big part of the wedding for the couple and you will
probably spend more time with them than any of your guests so it is essential that the
couple feel comfortable in their company.
The Asian wedding packages available from different companies vary greatly in both price
and content. With a top of the range Asian wedding photography package you could look
and feel like an Indian film star (if that is what you want). Couples can be photographed
from early in the wedding event, bridal shots - getting ready with your bridesmaids, garden
shots looking at each other in the part - till late in the evening at the reception venue
celebrating with your parents and friends. An unlimited number of shots can be taken
and in a variety of styles and setting – different wedding often have different decorations with
themed settings maybe in a hotel, inn, castle, park or other unique place with focus on a
particular culture or even a favourite color or object such as bamboo, lanterns, fans or
special favors. Pixcellence have covered functions in every type of function and facilities from
the royal palaces to the local Hilton.
Married couples will be given a large storybook wedding album that will act as a lasting reminder
of your entire day. Your preferred photographs are one of the few permanent records and it’s
wise to spend as much as your budget can allow.
Why Should I hire a professional Asian wedding photographer?
We get asked this question often by the bride, particularly as high resolution digital SLR
cameras have become more affordable – may Indian brides have thought about asking a
family friend to serve them a record of their Asian wedding. It is worth spending a little
time to understand why it costs so much to hire an Asian wedding pro.
One of the most important things to understand is that your Asian wedding pictures (paper
or digital) are one of the cor things that remain after your Asian wedding. You have
a spouse, a ring, a dress, maybe a few other mementos, and your Indian wedding photography.
Photographers are really the only vendors that you work with the Indian couples after
your wedding day is over. So think about who you are going to trust to create the vision
and deliver on their promise. A full time Asian photographer – covering many weddings
each year; an amateur may be free but only needs to make one mistake to ruin your wedding
photograph.
