Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. You’ll be surrounded by family, friends, and all the beauty of Ghanaian tradition—from kente and lace, to drumming, dancing, and heartfelt prayers. But the day will pass quickly.

How to Choose the Right Photographer for You:

  1. Know your budget. Set aside about 10–15% of your total wedding budget for photography and videography.

  2. Decide what you want. Do you want both traditional and white wedding captured? Do you prefer candid or posed shots?

  3. View their portfolio. Always ask to see a full wedding coverage, not just their highlight reels.

  4. Have a conversation. Talk to the photographer before booking—make sure your personalities and expectations match.

  5. Ask about turnaround times. When will you get your photos and videos? 2 weeks? 2 months?

  6. Get a contract. Everything agreed should be written—coverage hours, deliverables, total price, and payment schedule.

Photography is more than just pictures—it’s preserving memories of a day filled with emotion and tradition. Whether you're having a simple wedding in your family compound in Tamale, or a luxurious beach wedding in Ada, there’s a Ghanaian photographer out there for you.

Make sure you choose someone who understands your culture, your story, and your vision—and your wedding memories will be in safe hands.
