#4. Happily miss out on the other functions

There is going to be an engagement, mehendi ki raat and so on. But, keep your best photographer for the final day. Your big day is your wedding day, and you can let go of the functions that lead to this big day. If you don’t want to hire that seasoned photographer to capture your different celebrations, ensure that the wedding is the event that he captures. Keep your target in focus. You can have alternatives for the other functions. We all have a friend among us, who can take decent pictures and likes to carry a professional camera. Get some photos clicked by him/her. Or instead, hire a cheap photographer for these not so important events.

There is no rule that only an established photographer can take the best pictures. Try for assistant photographers, students, or a small-time photographer. Take a look at his work, and then decide. If you still can’t decide, you can ask him to take a sample picture and take your decision after seeing his work. Also, you can negotiate on the rates.
