I have to tell you some truths about this.
There can be, a few, particular wedding specialty style, self absorbed photographers ,with big egos ,and entitlement attitudes, out there, who will take advantage of you, such that you may feel under pressure ,to make a hasty decision. So, if that's what you want, then choose them.
Because .They have done it ,thousands of times before ,it may look idle, overly posed, uninventive, artificial, assumed, fake, lack-luster, forced, dim, lethargic, archaic, defunct, all the same as they've done thousands of times, before yours.
They can attempt to indoctrinate their faded, contrived, antiquated ideas, on busy people like you, while in the process of making your plan to incorporate your cultural, and or religious style into your event, and will try to dilute your fresh, new, creative choices. To each his own ,if that's what you want.
I've had first hand experience, with this. While working in the beauty industry, I crossed cultural boundaries and language barriers ,as a crusader for and advocate of the freedom of people who were being taken advantage of,
by their own culture.
I personally feel that their self righteousness ,
as wedding photographers, is a dark contrast,
to the sanctimonious bond,
that you are entering into, for life.
They can take advantage of you.
They can project their worry and fears, on you.
If you want a dark shadow cast over
your event then hire them.
If you actually ,want a dark theme,
I can do it for you too.
You don't need
a photographer to tell you
what you can't do.
Communication is the key.
Tell me your thoughts.
You need a photographer
to show you how to do,
what you want to do.
