5 Tips for choosing the Perfect Vacation Photographer

How do you find the Perfect Vacation Photographer?

When you hire a vacation photographer, you want the final results to be perfect. After all, these memories will be frozen in time forever, images that represent a moment in the life of your child, family or loved one.

Especially when choosing a vacation photographer, as you only get to take your special holiday photos once.

Choosing the perfect photographer will ensure that the finished product is exactly what you had in mind. These are our 5 tips for choosing the perfect vacation photographer:

1.???????? Hire a true Professional

We all know someone who "takes photos" but taking great vacation photos and understanding how to set up a great shot, deal with clients, provide perfect lighting and edit photos are skills that require training and experience. Don't just hire someone who thinks they're a photographer; hire a professional photographer with a proven track record.

2.???????? Find someone whose style you like

Visit the photographer's page within the Pix Around website and ask the team to send you additional examples if you want to see a full session. Does the photographer's style match your vision for the final images? Do you like the colour changes and the edits? Are the whites white and the blacks black? If the style is completely different to your own, you won't be happy with the results. Make sure you choose a photographer whose photos you think are stunning, that way you're more likely to love your photos too.

3.???????? Find the perfect location

Location is everything, especially if you're hiring a vacation photographer. Ask the photographer about their favourite locations, or if you have a specific location in mind. Make sure the location is perfect. Finally, check if there are any additional costs for the photographer to travel to your chosen location.

4. Be clear about your end goal

What you're going to do with your images is perhaps the most important aspect to consider when planning a photo session, but it's one that's all too often overlooked... all that time and money invested deserves a better return than photos gathering dust on a hard drive somewhere.

You'll never get the same feeling from looking at your photos on a screen as you will from seeing them on your wall or flipping through the pages of a photo album.

If you're not sure, ask your photographer what they recommend. Your photographer should be able to offer ideas and help you visualize how the products will look in your home, so it's less stressful to make a decision.

5. Consider price, but don't let it be the overriding factor

Of course price is an important factor, we all have a budget to work within. But don't choose a photographer based on price alone. Remember that the reason you're hiring a family photographer in the first place is to capture the true essence of your family and allow you to enjoy those precious moments for years to come.
