Photography Tips for Wedding Days
July 12th, 2009When most brides and grooms make wedding day plans, they take certain 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 make plans according to the availability of the church or restaurant.
But one of the biggest things couples fail to plan for 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.
What are the things to think about when making plans with the photographer in mind. The time and the date.
Let’s start with the time. How many couples would want their photographer rushing through the photo shoot? I am pretty certain that most people, couples especially, will not raise their hand to that thought.
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 say? A good amount of times, for instance, a couple will have a time let’s say 1-2 pm. With the reception beginning at 2:30. How many photos can the photographer really take with only half an hour to work with? Not many.
Worse yet, what if he does get all the shots? Do you think they can take some real good shots if they are being rushed? Of course not.
So plan the wedding and reception with enough time in between to take the photos.
The second factor to consider when planning is to check your photographer’s availability.
Most probably don’t realize this, but most good photographers will be booked months in advance. And if you are dealing with let’s say a large photography company, they may have several 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 may not even realize that they have a staff of photographers and if the photographer you liked is booked, unless you ask, they 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 you plan it also with your wedding photographer in mind.
