Seven Technical Reasons why a professional photographer is critical
- The ability to quickly adjust camera settings based on different lighting scenes.

- Professional wedding photographers will always scope out the wedding venue to be fully prepared for any surprises and to plan out their shooting scenarios.

- The energy to work non-stop for 12-18 hours without breaks. This is a wedding photographer’s job, they don’t rest or take breaks.
- Experience in guiding and directing large group formals. This is where the wedding photographer’s personality and tact are so important
- Experience in taking extra shots of crucial pictures such as during the must have photos in case of blinking, awkward expressions, etc.
