The best wedding photographer in Piedmont, who is it?
When I meet a couple of spouses, I always ask how they found me and how they found me.
Almost always the answer is “on Google” and the search was “best photographer in Turin or Chieri, in the Langhe, or in Piedmont.”
At that point, I imagined myself as a future bride and asked myself the same question.
Who is the best photographer in Piedmont, in Turin, in Italy, or even in Europe or the world?
The answer is impossible simply because it’s not a service that can be objectively and absolutely measured.
The photographer isn’t an athlete who breaks a record, or a scientist who makes a discovery.
The photographer is a “creator of beauty” who makes dreams come true, and beauty and dreams are subjective.
The evaluation of what constitutes the “best” photographer can vary significantly from person to person, based on personal preferences, photographic styles, past experiences, and other considerations. There are many exceptional photographers in every region of the world, each with their own unique qualities and specializations. The choice of the best photographer depends on personal preferences and the specific needs of the couple.
Undoubtedly, there should be an absolute parameter to start from: photographic quality.
Poor-quality photographs should appear to everyone for what they are: poor-quality photographs.
But unfortunately, it’s not always the case!
Future spouses are rarely photographers themselves and often struggle to understand photographic quality and differentiate one photographer from another.
So, sometimes, they make their choice solely based on price or the number of weddings, but often these two characteristics go hand in hand and do not necessarily accompany quality.
Every photographer is different, with their own sensitivity, vision, and unique perspective.
The post-production of photos also plays an important role and is part of a photographer’s style (provided they have managed to acquire one).
How can I find the best wedding photographer in Piedmont?
- The absolute best photographer doesn’t exist, but there is the best photographer for you.
- The best photographer for you is the one who makes you feel comfortable, the one with whom you immediately feel the right connection.
- The best photographer is the one who knows how to evoke emotions in you. It’s the one who, when you look at their photographs, makes you identify with the photographed couples and makes you wish to be photographed by them.
- The best photographer is the one who shares similar tastes with you. The one who understands your difficulties and, for example, if you’re a shy and introverted person, will propose a solution to help you overcome the fear of the camera (such as an engagement session).
- The best photographer is a professional who loves their work and won’t just take photographs but will help you realize a dream.
- The best photographer is the one who won’t treat you dismissively and won’t leave you “in the hands” of an assistant because they have a “more important” wedding than yours.
- The best photographer is the one who will answer all your questions, clarify all your doubts, and make you feel confident that you’ve made the right choice.
I understand that weddings can be very costly, and every couple has a budget to adhere to, so it’s important to establish a scale of priorities.
How important is the wedding photography service to you?
Wedding photographs are the only true and tangible memory that will remain of a unique and unrepeatable day.
It’s crucial to make sure to entrust oneself to a photographer who captures every significant moment in the best possible way.
If memories are important to you, don’t leave their creation to chance or in the hands of an inexperienced photographer, just to save money.
Rectifying the damage will be impossible.
