Why a Destination Wedding Photographer is Your Guiding Beacon?

Let me share a little tale to explain why we’re drawn to being a destination wedding photographer and why above everything it is important to hire a wedding photographer from outside. Picture this: a couple of summers ago, we found ourselves booked for 7 weddings at the same spot. Can you imagine, 7 unique celebrations all unfolding in the exact same setting? When chatting with each couple over video calls, they all queried if we were familiar with the venue, and indeed, we were. It posed quite a challenge to keep reinventing our shots for each couple in that familiar setting. How does it feel like being served the same lunch for seven straight days – that’s a close analogy. It was a vivid realization of needing that spark that elevates the ordinary into something extraordinary.

Destination weddings are like blending love stories with travel adventures. If you go for a local photographer from Dubai, they usually just cover the wedding day for around 8 hours and charge additionally for more number of hours. But if you fly in your own wedding photographer and cinematographer from India, you have more flexibility. They can capture pre and post-wedding moments, plus any fun excursions for the couple or guests. At Weddings by Lifeworks, we don’t just stop at the wedding day. We include a post-wedding shoot where we take you to a local spot outside the resort to add some local charm. We can even do shoots with your family during an excursion or around the resort.

No matter what you decide, just remember that the wedding photographer and cinematographer you choose will be there with you all day, capturing those super important, personal moments of your D-day. So, it’s important that you vibe well with them. Hiring a local photographer from Dubai might bring some language and cultural barriers, and you definitely don’t want anything to spoil your special day just because the wedding photographer didn’t click with you.

Weddings by lifeworks is an Indian based wedding photography and wedding cinematography production house. We love to travel to Dubai and would love even more to photograph and film your D-day! Determine what style is important to you and we move to the discussions!

It’s one of the finest ways to hire Indian wedding photographer, and in a very cost-effective way. Hiring a wedding photographer from Dubai itself will be expensive, and the style might not match your requirements and vision. And yes, the cultural difference does come into the picture here.
