Checklist for Choosing the Right Wedding Photographer
1. They Only Show You Insta Highlights :
0 killer shots. But what about the remaining 999 wedding pictures? Where are they?
One bride we encountered in tears states:
“Her previous photographer didn’t even have a single full album. No group shots. No candid giggles. Just super edited portraits.”
Go to Tip: ALWAYS request to view full wedding galleries. Three is a good starting point. You’re not hiring filters— you’re hiring storytelling.
2. They Charge “Premium” Prices :
A ₹10,000 wedding package “everything included”? No way.
Let’s be realistic. A seasoned wedding photographer in Kolkata with a team to edit pictures, backup equipment and creative eye is not going to work for peanuts. And if they are — it’s likely they are taking shortcuts. Big ones.
3. They Don’t Know The City :
Ask them when best to view the light at Princep Ghat. Or how to skip crowds when visiting Victoria Memorial. If they blank — halt right there.
A good wedding photographer in Kolkata doesn’t merely take pretty pictures. They collaborate with the city — its chaos, colour and quirk. That is what creates the magic.
Everything Sounds Good… But Where’s the Contract? :
Package details?
Delivery timelines?
Number of edited photos?
All of it must be in writing. Regardless of how relaxed they might sound on the phone.
5. No Real Reviews :
No reviews on Google, no testimonials, nothing on Shaadi Saga or Wed Me Good?
One of the brides, Ananya, commented very positively:
“They didn’t just shoot our wedding. They celebrated it with us. My mum cried when she saw the album. She was crying in a good way.”
