Here’s a helpful list to get you organized for the next step
Envisioning your wedding and daydreaming about the possibilities are some of the most fun aspects of wedding planning. Vendors like bakeries, videographers, musicians, and yes, photographers, are ready to hear all about it so that we can help you make it all happen. Not only is it really rewarding for us, it’s a great sign of a healthy working relationship that you can count on when things move fast on your big day.
Having a trusted wedding professional is invaluable, because it’s important to have the support and structure so that you can do the job of enjoying every second of your wedding. The better the planning stages go, the more seamless your event, and the more relaxed you’ll be.
I’ve been in the wedding photography business for quite some time, and I’m able to provide the kind of leadership and organization to deliver images that you’ll treasure – without being obtrusive. The more I learn about what you need, the better I am able to understand how to accomodate you the best.
What to need to know about planning your wedding photography
To help give you some structure for your planning session, here are some things that you can sketch out when thinking of what to ask any wedding photographer for your engagement, your big day, and more.
- Do you have my date available? First things first, let’s make sure I have your date available! Booking early gives the best chances.
- How many weddings do you shoot a year?
- Have you worked at our venue before, and if so, how can we make the most of the location?
- Will you have a team, such as a second shooter, and how do you work together?
- Will I be able to give you a list of specific shots we want?
- Will other people be able to take photos while you are doing the photography?
This is by no means an exhaustive list, so a really great full sheet can be found here. You’ll probably even find that this starts a brainstorm process that helps tremendously.
Ultimately, hiring a professional always comes down to finding the right fit for what you need, the way that it will work best for your needs. Since everyone is different, and wedding days are as unique as each couple, it’s a matter of getting your wants and needs organized on paper. This helps you sort out a kind of plan that your potential photographers will be able to answer. Keep in mind that experienced professionals will also have pretty reliable list of ideas that are worth considering – and this is where it’s helpful to take the the time to look through their reviews and portfolios.
