An event photographer is someone who you want to photograph your wedding. You will need them to posses a few qualities such as style, motivation, experience and good communication. A well trained event photographer will only posses these qualities through experience, so making sure that they are well trained and can focus on what you want is important.

Every event photographer will have their own style. Your ideas about your wedding should coincide with the photographer's style. Otherwise you might end up having a awful experience. Every event photographer will have a different style. Some photographers like to be classic and other like to be wild. Classic photos will include those of the bride herself, the groom himself, the bride and groom together, the wedding party, and everyone all together. Making funny faces and having completely serious faces might be considered a wild style.

An event photographer should be highly motivated, try to find one who is. You do not want to have someone who is lazy and sitting around missing all the good pictures they could be capturing. Motivation isn't just about doing the job, but enjoying it and communicating are also involved.

Over time is the only way an event photographer will gain experience. Make sure you question your photographer how long they have been in the business, where they went to school and for how long, and who they were employed with before they went into business for themselves (if that is the case). Asking these questions can help you make a finer decision when selecting an event photographer. If they are now employed by themselves you can find out what kind of quality they produced when they were employed by asking their prior employer. Its better to find out now even if it is kind of a sneaky way of getting the information.

It's a good idea to choose en event photographer who you comfortable around. When you are around them they should make you feel comfortable as well. Later on at the wedding, this will help them to capture the precious photos. You will see the emotion in the wedding pictures if you are nervous around your event photographer.
