What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

We would typically need to know the following information:

The type of event or photoshoot (e.g. wedding, portrait, commercial, etc.).
The date and location of the event or photoshoot.
The approximate number of hours of coverage needed.
The specific photography services requested (e.g. engagement photos, bridal party photos, candid shots, etc.)
Any specific requests or special considerations (e.g. additional locations, special equipment, etc.)
The desired final deliverables (e.g. digital images, prints, albums, etc.)
The client's budget for the project.

Additionally, it would be helpful to know the client's preferences for style and aesthetic, so that we can tailor their quote and approach to the project accordingly.

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Determine your specific needs and preferences: Before reaching out to photographers, have a clear idea of what type of event or photoshoot you need, the date and location, the number of hours of coverage needed, and the specific photography services you want.

Look at the portfolios of different photographers and compare their work. Look for photographers who have experience in the type of event or photoshoot you require, and whose style and aesthetic aligns with your preferences.

Read reviews and testimonials from previous clients to get a sense of the photographer's level of professionalism, quality of work, and customer service.

Once you have narrowed down your options, reach out to the photographers and ask any questions you may have. A good photographer should be able to provide detailed information about their services, pricing, and availability.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

Riaz Rony Photography & Videography Ltd. was born out of my passion for capturing memories and preserving moments.
Initially, I have started out as hobbyists photographers before turning my passion into a career.

I believe wedding photography/videography is a highly rewarding and fulfilling profession. I consider myself lucky to have the opportunity to capture some of the most important and meaningful moments in people's lives. Besides, I get to work with a variety of clients, and each wedding is unique, which makes the job interesting.

Overall, starting a wedding photography business can be a great way to turn a passion for photography into a fulfilling career, while also providing beautiful and lasting memories for clients.

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

The one event I remember most was in May 2021, It was Grove Ferry Inn, Canterbury. I worked with the couple in advance to create a short list, which outlined specific shots that the couple wanted to capture on their wedding day.

I arrived early at the location in order to take pre-ceremony shots of the bride and groom getting ready, as well as any details of the location.
During the ceremony, I captured lots of candid shots of the bride and groom, as well as formal portraits of the wedding party. After the ceremony, we had an awesome couple photoshoot session.
Finally, during the reception, I did capture candid shots of the guests dancing and mingling, as well as any special moments or events, such as the cutting of the cake and the first dance.

I would highly recommend Add To Event to any wedding-related suppliers.
