Couple questions: Weddings and celebrations
Should we book a wedding photographer in Morocco?
Yes, and early. The best photographers are reserved far in advance alongside the finest venues and negaffas, and prime spring and autumn dates go first. Morocco's riad courtyards, zellige, candlelight and desert light make beautiful photographs, and a photographer who knows the venue will know the best spots and the best light, from golden hour on a camp's crest to lanterns in a courtyard.

The short answer
Yes, and early. The best photographers are reserved far in advance alongside the finest venues and negaffas, and prime spring and autumn dates go first. Morocco's riad courtyards, zellige, candlelight and desert light make beautiful photographs, and a photographer who knows the venue will know the best spots and the best light, from golden hour on a camp's crest to lanterns in a courtyard.
In more detail
Your planner can suggest photographers. Ask to see full galleries rather than a few highlights, and check that the photographer is comfortable with low light, as so much of a Moroccan celebration happens by lantern and candle.
Not every celebration needs a full day of coverage. For an elopement or a vow renewal, a photographer for an hour, or a short shoot at one location, is often enough. In a riad or a camp taken for your party, a shoot can be arranged calmly, with the staff's blessing and without an audience.
Be careful with photos of people in public. Ask before photographing local people in the medina or villages; it is a basic courtesy in Morocco.
Good to know
- Book the photographer at the same time as the venue.
- Tell them when the key moments are: entrance, vows, dinner, music.
- Ask locals before including them in photographs.
