Ensure your visual legacy is in the hands of an expert who understands the culture, the scale, and the soul of your celebration.
A Nigerian wedding is a complex, high-stakes production. Beyond basic equipment, your photographer must possess a deep understanding of cultural nuances. Use these 15 questions during your consultation to verify their expertise.
The Cultural Competency Checklist
1. How do you handle lighting for multi-tonal Nigerian skin in large ballrooms?
2. Can you show me a full gallery of an Igbo Igba Nkwu or Yoruba Engagement?
3. How do you manage ‘The Spraying’ of money to ensure the couple remains the focus?
4. Are you comfortable coordinating family portraits of 100+ people?
5. Do you include coverage for multi-day ceremonies in your packages?
Why These Questions Matter
An expert photographer doesn’t just ‘take photos’; they manage the room. From navigating the ‘Alaga’ at a Yoruba engagement to knowing exactly when the bride will search for the groom during the ‘Wine Carrying’, these questions ensure your photographer is a partner in your heritage.
