No matter what your wedding budget is, some expenses are vital. Especially, a professional wedding photographer. Eirik Halvorsen is one of them and he found a brilliant way to prove why specialists like him are essential to every ceremony.
“I recently came across a thread in a wedding group on Facebook where a bride-to-be said they wanted to save money by not hiring a professional wedding photographer and let the guests be in charge of the photos,” Eirik told PetaPixel. “I mean, they will take pictures, right? You just have to get everyone to dropbox you the photos after and you can make your own album and look back on those special moments forever.”
Not quite. Eirik married his wife almost four years ago and hired his dream photographer to capture all the precious moments. So he took the photographer’s images and compared them with actual photos from the same wedding, taken by the guests. Composition, lighting, image quality and other features differ dramatically. “All I know from the experience of getting married is that all that is left today is the photos,” Eirik said. So if you want those photos to look great, they should be taken by someone who knows what he’s doing.

Eirik Halvorsen decided to show why professional wedding photographers are essential for your big day
“[These] photos are actual photos from our own wedding taken by our guests,” Eirik said
“This is what the documentation of our day would look like if we didn’t go for a professional who actually knows how to capture a wedding”
But he also uploaded photos by a professional photographer
“Some of our official wedding photos by photographer Jeff Newsom are at the bottom for comparison”
He came up with this interesting idea to compare the images while scrolling through a wedding photography group on Facebook
“A bride-to-be said they wanted to save money by not hiring a professional wedding photographer”
“I mean, they will take pictures, right? You just have to get everyone to dropbox you the photos after…”
“… and you can make your own album and look back on those special moments forever”
