Wedding Day Photographer Tips
Writing by forestthornbarg on Tuesday, 14 of July , 2009 at 10:35 pm
When most couples plan their wedding day they take a lot of things into consideration. They think about vacation times when trying to coordinate. Or they plan the day according to the best time for family to come into town. Or they plan it based upon maybe available venues, like the church or the restaurant.
But one of the biggest things they fail to plan for on the wedding day is the photographer. Don’t think this is something small. And I am not just saying it because I am a wedding photographer.
No planning the wedding day with the wedding photographer in mind could mean all the difference in the world. Especially when you think about the fact the photos are going to be the thing that captures that day for a lifetime.
So what are the key factors to consider when planning with the photographer in mind. The time and the date.
Let’s start with the time. How many people do you think would want their photographer to rush taking the photos? I am pretty confident most couples will not agree to that.
Without even considering your photographer, a majority of the times most couples do just that. They will force the photographer to rush his shots.
How so you ask? Well let’s say, the couple makes the ceremony between 1-2 pm. With the reception starting at 2:30. How many photos can the photographer really take with only half an hour to work with? Not many.
Worse thing to consider, what if he does manage to take all the photos? Do you think they are going to take good quality shots when they are rushed? No way.
So plan the wedding and reception with enough time in between to take the photos.
Second thing to consider when planning with the photographer in mind is your photographer’s availability.
Most probably don’t realize this, but most good photographers will be booked months in advance. Let’s say you are dealing with a large photography company, they probably have a few photographers.
Well planning your wedding without considering your photographer’s availability could turn into a nightmare. Because if you book that special day and don’t make sure that the actual photographer will be available, when your wedding day comes you might be shocked to find someone totally different.
This happens more than you can imagine when dealing with a big photography company. You might not realize they have plenty of photographers on staff, and if the photographer you fell in love with is booked, unless you specifically ask, the company might not tell you. When the wedding day comes, a second rate photographer or worse yet, they might outsource the work and somebody else will show up.
So be ready by not letting this happen. Planning your wedding day is wonderful. Make sure that your plan has the wedding photographer in mind as well.
