Do you have plans to host some guests? If yes, then you might be planning to hire an event photographer. And since photos are the gateway to reliving special moments, you cannot afford to work with an average photographer. That said, here are some factors to consider when looking for an event photographer.
Your Requirements
Events have diverse requirements. Therefore, you need to think about your event’s nature and the type of photos that you want. How do you intend to use the images? Having your requirements clear goes a long way in helping you choose the right photographer. Make it known to them, and if possible, look at their portfolio to assess their suitability.
Previous Work
Any established event photographer understands the importance of keeping a portfolio of their work. So if you are looking for a photographer, their portfolio will give you an idea of their value. It is not just about 
having a collection; make sure you pay close attention to their experience of working in events that have similar demands to yours.
Delivery Package
So, assuming you have some potential candidates for the job, consider each of their photo delivery options. How many images will they offer? How soon will they deliver? Which format will they be provided in? Make sure that the photographer ticks all the right boxes as far as these questions are concerned.
Insurance
As a safety precaution, make sure that the photographer is insured. Most people do not see the need to have insurance until something happens. For instance, someone could trip over the photographer’s tripod stand and break something or injures himself or herself. Always ensure that the photographer is insured and bonded, and save yourself from such unforeseen headaches.
