Should I Get a Photographer for Prom?
Yes — hiring a professional photographer for prom ensures that students receive high-quality, lasting memories of one of the most significant events in their school life. From formal portraits to fun group shots, prom photography captures the spirit of the evening in a way smartphones can’t. Local services like School Shots in Shrewsbury offer tailored prom packages for schools across Shropshire, including on-site printing, branded keepsakes, and optional photo booths or roaming photography.
🎓 Why Your School Should Book a Photographer for Prom
Prom is more than just a party — it’s a rite of passage. For students in Year 11 or Sixth Form, it marks the end of their school chapter. So the question for many schools and prom organisers in Shropshire is: Should we invest in a professional prom photographer?
Here’s why the answer is a resounding yes, especially when working with a local specialist like School Shots.
📸 1. Professional Photos Make the Moment Last
Students spend weeks preparing for prom — the suits, dresses, hair, makeup, and transport. A professional photographer captures all of that with high-resolution, well-lit photos that simply can’t be matched by a smartphone.
School Shots sets up a full professional photo studio at your venue with:
- Proper lighting
- Stylish backdrops
- Individual and group portrait options
- A professional photographer guiding poses
