Cultural Tip

In many Spanish‑speaking contexts, ‘queremos’ can sound direct. If you want to be more courteous, especially with a professional photographer, you might use ‘nos gustaría’ or ‘nos gustaría contar con…’. Also, remember that ‘evento’ is a neutral term; for weddings you might say ‘boda’, for a conference ‘conferencia’, etc., to sound more specific.
