Wedding Reception After-Party: Should You Hire a Photographer or Not?

The last fun of a long wedding day: the wedding reception after-party ♩

The after-party, where you gather with close friends, is a place where the main characters, the bride and groom, can enjoy themselves without any stress ♡

Many guests also join from the after-party, so it’s something to look forward to.

One common concern when preparing for such an after-party is whether to hire an after-party photographer.

It is common to have a professional photographer capture wedding photos at the ceremony and reception, right?

However, at the after-party, it is entirely up to the bride and groom whether to hire a photographer or not.

Of course, it would be nice to have someone capture the moments, but arranging a professional photographer can be quite expensive.

Some might be thinking, "Maybe I can just have my guests take photos with their smartphones..."

Many Brides Regret Not Hiring a Photographer!?

Many couples choose not to hire a professional photographer for their wedding reception after-party.

However, there are not a few brides who later regret it, thinking, "I should have hired one after all."

In this article, we will introduce the reasons why you should consider hiring a professional photographer for your after-party.

If you’re unsure about whether to hire a wedding photo photographer for the reception after-party, this is a must-read!＊

Reason to Hire an After-Party Photographer #1: Capture Photos with Many Guests ♡

More friends come to celebrate at the wedding reception after-party than at the main reception. If you hire a photographer, you can capture photos with guests who came for the after-party as well.

Group photos with friends can be a bit awkward to ask them to take every time, but with a professional photographer, there’s no need to feel bashful＊

When trying to recall, "The after-party was so much fun," there might be many guests who don’t appear in photos if you didn’t hire a photographer.

It’s a bit disappointing considering they took the time to come.

A photographer will capture the guests enjoying themselves throughout the after-party, allowing you to look back at the photos and savor the memories even more ♡

Reason to Hire an After-Party Photographer #2: Unique Photos that Can Only Be Taken at the After-Party ♡

One attraction of hiring a photographer is that you can get special photos that can only be taken at the after-party＊

At the main reception, with a lot of family and work-related guests, it’s hard to let loose and have fun. However, at the friend-centered after-party, you can capture your true selves in the casual atmosphere.

The Wedding Reception After-Party is a Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity ♡

We shared reasons why you should hire a photographer for the wedding reception after-party.

It’s likely that inviting many guests and holding a private party is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Moreover, many restaurants and cafés that serve as after-party venues often have stylish downlight illuminations, making it difficult to capture beautiful photos with a smartphone.

Even if there are guests who are willing to take pictures, it’s awkward to give them various compositional instructions, right?

For brides and grooms looking forward to an enjoyable wedding reception after-party, hiring a professional photographer is recommended.

Even years later, you will be able to fondly reminisce, "That after-party was so much fun!" ♡
