5 Tips For Choosing The Perfect Beach Photographer

There’s certainly no lack of event photographers in Miami as the beauty of the city and the area just naturally attracts practitioners of the art. And make no mistake that event photography is an art form. Working with often shy and nervous guests to pose them at their best, balancing color and form and event decor in pictures, and choosing the best backgrounds for the photos all take an artist’s eye as well as technical skill. This is especially true when the event is held out-of-doors in a dynamic environment where things can change quickly and the unexpected happens. It takes experience and a special skill set to pull it off well. A few tips to help choose the perfect beach event photographer include: 

  • Check their website and portfolio to ensure the overall quality of their work and whether they have specific examples of beach photos. This may seem too basic a step to mention, but it’s surprising how many people don’t take the time to check whether a photographer’s work appeals to them, or whether they’ve worked in the type of environment an event will be held.

  • Get the opinions of family, friends and co-workers who have had events photographed recently. You’ll get valuable recommendations, warnings, and advice.

  • Meet your potential photographer face-to-face. You don’t want to hire someone who seems like they might be difficult to work with or that you just don’t care for personally.

  • Don’t skimp on costs. The event photography budget should be given high priority. Don’t just grab the best package deal you find.

  • Hire experience and integrity. Look for a photographer that has been in business for a while in the area. It doesn’t necessarily need to be decades but they should have been around at least a few years. Check with the local BBB for their rating and any outstanding complaints. Check the Web for reviews too.

Celebrating your wedding, graduation, bar mitzvah or reunion on the beach in Miami will create great memories. With a little research and common sense, you can choose the perfect beach photographer to create a record you’ll enjoy over and over again for a lifetime.
