📸 How to Choose a Photographer or Videographer in Kenya – 5 Things to Check Before You Book

Whether you’re planning a wedding in Syokimau, launching a product in Westlands, or hosting a birthday bash in Eldoret—capturing the moment is just as important as living it. But not every camera-wielding pro delivers the magic you deserve.

Here are five things to check before you book a photographer or videographer in Kenya:

✅ 1. Are They Verified and Reviewed?

A flashy Instagram feed doesn’t guarantee professionalism. You need someone with real client feedback and verified credentials.

What to look for:

  • ✅Verified badge on the Balozy App
  • ✅Ratings and reviews from past clients
  • ✅Portfolio of events similar to yours
  • ✅Clear service descriptions (weddings, corporate, product, lifestyle)

💡 On Balozy, every creative pro is background-checked and reviewed—so you book with confidence.

🎥 2. Do They Match Your Style and Vision?

Photography and videography are art forms. Your chosen pro should align with your aesthetic—whether it’s cinematic, documentary, editorial, or candid.

Ask before booking:

  • ✅Can I see full galleries or reels from past events?
  • ✅Do you offer mood boards or creative direction?
  • ✅Can you adapt to my theme or brand colors?

📍 3. Are They Local to Your Venue?

Kenya’s traffic and logistics can delay setups. Booking someone from your estate or cluster means faster arrival and smoother coordination.

Balozy Tip: Use the “Near Me” filter to find photographers and videographers in Nairobi, Machakos, Eldoret, Kisumu, or wherever you are.

💬 4. Do They Communicate Clearly?

You want someone who confirms your booking, shares a shot list, and arrives on time—not someone who ghosts or improvises.

Look for:

  • ✅Fast response time on the app
  • ✅Transparent pricing and deliverables
  • ✅Respectful, collaborative tone

🧑‍💻 5. Do They Offer Post-Production and Delivery Options?

Great footage is only half the job. A verified pro should offer editing, retouching, and timely delivery.

Ask:

  • ✅What’s your turnaround time for edited photos/videos?
  • ✅Do you offer cloud delivery or physical copies?
  • ✅Can you provide teaser reels or social media cuts?
