Hiring an outside photographer for your disney wedding

Planning a Disney event is a magical journey filled with excitement and enchantment. Whether you’re celebrating a vow renewal, engagement/proposal at disney, wedding, or any special occasion, capturing those precious moments is a must. While Disney offers its own fantastic photography services, hiring an outside photographer can add a unique touch to your event and provide a personalized perspective on the magic unfolding.

Uniqueness and Personalization:

One of the key benefits of hiring an outside photographer for your Disney event is the opportunity to infuse your style into the photographs. Independent photographers bring their creative vision and expertise to the table, allowing for a customized and unique collection of images that reflect the essence of your special day. For instance, photographers like myself who own Portrayable Photography have successfully captured Disney events in the past, adding a personal touch to the pictures and making them more memorable.

Freedom of Choice:

Opting for an outside photographer gives you the freedom to choose a professional whose style aligns with your preferences. Whether you’re seeking a whimsical and fairytale-like aesthetic or a more candid and documentary approach, you can find a photographer who resonates with your vision and captures the moments just as you envision them. As one of my past Disney couple, Bianca and Mark, noted, “Hiring an outside photographer allowed us to choose someone whose style matched our vision perfectly. We were thrilled with the results and have cherished the photos ever since. Plus we knew we wanted certain locations for our portraits and knew that Kimberly was always up for anything we suggested. She wasn’t restricted to a corporate standard locations. Our first look was taken where he proposed to me at.” You can see their who wedding here.

Extended Coverage:

While Disney’s photographers do an excellent job of capturing moments, hiring an outside photographer allows you to extend coverage beyond the typical settings. Whether you’re hosting an event at a Disney resort, aboard a Disney cruise, or in a private venue, an independent photographer can document all aspects of your celebration.

Capture Candid Moments:

Independent photographers are skilled in capturing candid and spontaneous moments that may go unnoticed by official event photographers. These candid shots can often be the most memorable and genuine, adding a layer of authenticity to your collection of photographs.

Flexibility with Packages:

Many outside photographers offer flexible packages tailored to your specific needs. Whether you require coverage for a few hours or an entire day, an independent photographer can work with you to create a package that suits your event and budget.

Navigating Disney’s Policies:

Before hiring an outside photographer for your Disney event, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with Disney’s policies regarding external vendors. Ensure that your chosen photographer is aware of and adheres to Disney’s guidelines to avoid any complications on the day of your event. I know a lot of photographers who are shocked by the contracts and insurance requirements set by the Disney. I’m very familiar with that paperwork and know the staff as well.

Communication is Key:

Clear communication with your photographer is crucial. Discuss your expectations, preferred shots, and any specific locations within the Disney property that hold sentimental value. This collaboration will ensure that your photographer is well-prepared to capture the moments that matter most to you.

Hiring an outside photographer for your Disney event can elevate the magical experience and provide you with a collection of photographs that tell the unique story of your celebration. From capturing candid moments to infusing your personal style into the images, an independent photographer can turn your Disney event into a timeless and enchanting memory. As one past Disney couple, Elana and Sam, exclaimed, “Kim, with Portrayable Photography, our outside photographer made our Disney wedding truly unforgettable. We are so grateful for the beautiful photos that we will treasure forever. We wanted specific shots, like a whole photoshoot with our doggie and a portrait session at the reception for our guests with us at our greenery wall backdrop and she made it happen. She even went into the bridal salon and grabbed the shots of us in there right before our ceremony, something that I never see captured.”
