A prom night is a once in a lifetime event and photographs will provide students and their families with a lifelong reminder. It may be also the last time that all the students will be in one place together and is a great keepsake for all.

When choosing a photographer, make sure that he is professionally qualified to avoid disappointment after the event. All recognized photographers have websites, so do your research first to find ones that specialise in photography for group events. A great prom photographer will be unobtrusive and great at getting groups of people into position quickly so that there is no queuing.

Opportunities for fantastic pictures include shots of guests arriving in their chosen transport, formal group shots and informal partying pictures.

Make sure you find out how they operate beforehand, do they require use of backdrops and special lighting? Do they know your venue? Have you briefed them fully about timings? How will guests be able to order photos? What are the costs? Do your homework before hand to get the best package possible to keep prices down.
