The deliverables covered in this wedding photography package can include

Wedding photography cost may range from a mere 5K to 30 Lac INR and the reasons are legit. The experience, equipment, services, and deliverables are the factors that contribute to the rising cost in this industry. 

It is therefore up to you who you choose. A hobbyist photographer or a professional cinematographer, all will render their services according to your budget.

But make sure, you research well before hiring the professionals. Sometimes you might get the best service at a reasonable cost compared to hefty photographers and videographers in India.

At Smart Clicks, we always deliver more than what we promise!

Apart from the above info, here’s something useful that will help you hire the best wedding photographers for your D-day.

What things to consider when hiring a wedding photography team

• A wedding photographer should be a good artist. Check out their portfolio and discover how their work is unique from the other wedding photographers and cinematographers.
• Post-production is another concern where most wedding photographers may vary. If the wedding photographer is keeping this part in a common pool and not rendering specific quality service to the client, you must look for another team of skilled wedding photographers.
• The brand value  must be there when it comes to wedding photographers. Timely delivery and quality in deliverables are what you must expect from your wedding photographers. If the photographer has a past record of delayed deliverables, he might not be the one for your project.
• Hard material quality matters a lot. Most Indian photographers charge a rigid price for every sheet printed. Here you should focus on quality and even if you are bound to pay a slightly higher sum for the prints, it’s not a big deal. Connect with the Smart Clicks to discover trending printing prices in your city.
• Photography has evolved with time. From camcorders to 4K, things have changed a lot. At Smart Clicks we use top-grade equipment to shoot and edit your wedding photographs and videos. Therefore, we recommend choosing a team with high-tech equipment so that your weddings are captured the way they should be, in high quality.

We also share our recent quality work on Smart Clicks Instagram so that you get ideas for your prewedding and wedding shoots.
