Why Your Dating Profile Pic Probably Shouldn’t Be Your LinkedIn Headshot
As you begin putting together vendors for your upcoming meeting, conference or convention at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center, there are a lot of decisions to be made. From a marketing standpoint, one of your most critical decisions will be in the Dallas conference photographer that you choose.
Picking the perfect photographer takes a little bit of research, but here are a few things to look for or ask about when hiring your next Dallas event photographer:
They’ve got the skills:
Of course the most important aspect of a good Dallas conference photographer is their skill and experience. Go through their website and see their body of the work. Look for a variety in their portfolio so that you can tell they’ve shot multiple events of all kinds, and don’t just have several selects from a handful of events. A good photographer will have a body of work that shows the breadth of what they do, from small dinner parties on up to full-scale conventions. With an increased level of experience comes more peace of mind for you, as you don’t have to worry about your Dallas event photography being done with anything short of excellence.
They’ve got the clients:
You have a reputation to keep, and hiring a talented Dallas corporate event photographer is one way to not only keep that reputation strong, but also enhance it through dynamic images that will tell your company’s story. Another great way to see what makes your photographer stand out from the field is the list of clients whom they’ve worked with in the past. Review their client list and look for names that you recognize and brands that you respect. If they entrusted their brand identity to that photographer, then you can have more security in knowing that they will take great care of you. You can also talk to your photographer and see if they have worked at the Gaylord before, and whom they have shot for there.
They know where everything is:
The Gaylord Texan is a pretty expansive hotel and conference center, and is definitely a place that will give your Dallas conference photographer some good exercise. Make sure that when you are talking to your event photographer, they do have familiarity with the space over the Gaylord. This can be very helpful so that you know your photographer can navigate the spaces efficiently and get to wherever they need to be. You could be having your conference on the convention center side, while there is a small reception or dinner either under the Atrium or down in Old Hickory Steakhouse. Or you are having a big party to finish everything off over at the Glass Cactus, and need your photographer to have a plan in place to get from one spot to the next with not much time to spare. Whatever your plans may be, talk to your event photographer and make sure that they are familiar with the various spaces and venues at the Gaylord Texan.
In summary, make sure you do a little research when looking for a photographer to cover your next event at the Gaylord Texas Resort and Convention Center. By knowing they produce great work for some of the biggest names in the corporate world, you can rest a whole lot easier when it comes to your event photography. Also, make sure to check on whether they’ve shot at the Gaylord in the past, and if they know the lay of the land. Combined with their skill and experience, that makes for a winning combination, and a great experience and final product for your event photography.
