Capturing your marriage proposal in photographs is one of the best ways to show and share your memories of that day forever with family and friends. Choosing a professional photographer versus a friend or family member is up to you but today we have a few examples of why hiring a professional is better for this type of occasion.

Professionalism

With the filters and effects the iPhone gives us, everyone thinks that they are a professional these days but it takes a true professional to get just the right shots of your proposal. A professional photographer works with an actual camera and knows the ins and outs of what it takes to find the best shot of you and your partner.

Lighting

A professional photographer knows how to capture the best lighting for your proposal no matter what time of day it may be. Say you have your proposal at night or inside a restaurant where light is scarce, it would be such a letdown to see your photos dark and discolored if the proper camera setting isn’t used.

Editing

Touching up, color correcting and editing out unwanted objects is something that a professional photographer can do very easily once your photos have been taken. They will ensure you the highest quality of photos and have you looking your best during the moment you say “YES!”

While we at The Heart Bandits are in favor of hiring a professional photographer, we understand that your marriage proposal budget may not allow for this. If you are going to use a friend or family member to take photos of your proposal, speak with them beforehand and let them know what you would like to see in pictures and make sure not to use any sort of phone, no matter how great the quality is!
