How do you know you hired a stellar wedding photographer? The following are the qualities that distinguish the most sought-after photographer from not:

First, he is ready with his equipment. Even veterans in this field use a tripod for shots that they can anticipate. Also, extra memory card and extra batteries should come handy. Plainly put, a good wedding photographer rises to the occasion well-prepared.

Second, the photographer's hand is steady for shots that require them to move. The trick for this technique can only be learned through years of experience. The photographer is also non-obtrusive. This means that, even as he moves around to take the photos, he does not distract the proceedings of the wedding ceremony.

Third, a good photographer does not merely document the event. Instead, he tells the story through his photographs. He can stitch together stories happening during the ceremony and those happening in the sideways capturing the reactions of attendees, parents, loved ones, and even funny unexpected moments from guests. The story behind a wedding does not only centre on the prepared wedding programme, but happens in the surrounding as well.

Fourth and closely related to the third, a good photographer does not depend on a creative director to render stunning wedding photographs. He can, on his own, decide what to shoot, especially when he is alone and the wedding is big. His acquired experience in wedding coverage helps him anticipates what happens next. But he is not confined to this formula and is flexible enough to accommodate peculiar twists in the ceremony.

Finally, he is always in the best position for great shots. Sometimes, a wedding ceremony can go on for hours, especially where unique culture-based rituals are involved. Despite this, the photographer needs to be alert always, keeping his mind and his eye fresh for new ideas.

Now that you know the qualities of the most sought-after photographers, you can never go wrong with your choice of that one person who can help you keep the memories of your wedding day alive for generations. Good luck!
