If someone is searching for a wedding photographer or portrait photographer, they usually search for “Photographers near me” on google. While it is understandable that you want a photographer close to where you live, you are limiting your choices on finding some of the best photographers out there.

There are hundreds and thousands of great photographers in the market and often it becomes very intimidating and nerve wracking to select the right photographer. There are many ways one can find a right photographer but limiting yourself to finding someone near you is a not such a good idea to start with. Widen your search circle.

Most photographers are nomadic. They travel far distances for work and never refuse a good job because it is a little bit far away. Many of them will waive off the travel fee too if it’s not too far away like across the country or across couple of states but if it is a two or three hour drive to the wedding venue, many will want to take up that job.

If you like a photographer’s work, even if he/she lives a little bit away, do not hesitate to talk to them. Do not be intimidated by their work. I have heard many times that people think I am super expensive looking at my work but are surprised when they find out my prices. I provide luxury photography at affordable prices and in reach of normal budgets. If the prices offered by a photographer is not within your budget, it would be a good idea to tell them your maximum budget and ask them if they can work within that. Many times, photographers can drop some extras and still work within your budget, for example working with just one assistant instead of two.

I traveled the World for my work and I would not hesitate to travel a few hours for a photoshoot. If I am not in the “Photographers near me” list but you like my work, just reach out.
