Every business should invest in hiring a photographer to photograph their products/ services in captivating images that will sell the products/services your business has to offer.   We listed a couple of pointers below with tips how you can use photography to better market your business as well as tips for hiring a photographer. 

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS FOR WEDDING BUSINESSES: 

• Showcase what your business has to offer. Example 1:  If you manage a wedding venue, showcase the venue space including wide shots of the buildings inside/outside area, entrance hall, reception area, ceremony area, outside areas including gardens, public spaces, accommodation options.  Example 2:  You’re a videographer, so let a photographer capture you operating your camera and some behind the scene shots, this way you have photo’s to share of your service.
• Style your product/service in a way that will showcase your product/service in the best possible way. 
• Make sure you keep it simple and self-explanatory.  
• Don’t showcase too much – try and limited the amount of images you share, you don’t want to overwhelm your potential clients. 
• Ask the photographer to resize your images for online use as well, so that they are smaller, but still look great!
• Add your selected images to a cloud storage so that if you send it over to bloggers, magazines etc. that you have it on file quickly without having to look around for imagery.
• Keep a copy of your high res images on an external hard drive, should someone request a high resolution copy.

TIPS FOR HIRING A PHOTOGRAHER FOR YOUR BUSINESS: 

• Look at the photographer’s portfolio. 
• Look at the type of photography the photographer specializes in.  Example:  Portraiture, Weddings, Commercial etc.
• Hire the best possible photographer you can afford.  
• Hire a photographer that works well with your businesses brand aesthetic.
• Get a quotation from the photographer of your choice.
