💡 How to Choose Your Wedding Photographer in the Maldives
Let’s make this simple and stress-free:
-
Stalk their Insta (no shame) – You’ll get a feel for their style.
-
Chat it out – Good chemistry with your photographer = relaxed, real photos.
-
Ask about logistics – Island hopping isn’t always easy, so confirm travel availability.
-
Think about the vibe – Want storytelling? Editorial style? Sunset shots? Underwater magic?
And here’s a fun one…
Do a “trial shoot” the day before. Some photographers offer pre-wedding sessions. It’s a great way to warm up and get cozy in front of the camera—with no pressure.
