Wedding Photographer Malaysia

Ask Kid Chan – Do i need to feed my wedding photographer?

Dear Kid Chan,

I have a rather question that I am too embarrassed to ask my photographer. My wedding will be held in a hotel next March, do I need to provide him food?

Andrea Gomez, Bangsar

Dear Andrea,

Congratulations! I understand that the concern of providing food to the photographer at a hotel may be high.

As a professional, we do not expect to be provided with food. However based on my experience most of the time, as the photographer I am first in to capture the environment and last out after the family formal shots.

This means if I had arrived before 6pm and leaves at 12.00am, I would have been working for 7 hours straight without food (another half and hour to get to the nearest mamak stalls!)

At such it would be prudent to provide your photographer with some simple food like fried rice, if you don’t want them to faint at the reception.

I can assure you if you treat your photographer right, they will be even more motivated in capturing the shots.
