Wedding Day Photography Planning
When 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 coordinate the day on what is best maybe for family to make it into town. Or they plan it based upon maybe available venues, like the church or the restaurant.
But one of the biggest things couples fail to plan for is the photographer. This is no small matter. 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 realize that the photos are what are going to last a lifetime.
So what are the key factors to consider when planning with the photographer in mind. The time and the date.
First let’s start thinking about 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. The couple or family basically rush the photographer to try and take all the pictures.
How so you say? Well a lot of times, the couple will schedule the ceremony for let’s say 1-2 pm. With the reception starting at 2:30. How many shots can a photographer make when he only has a half hour to work with? Not many.
Even worse, let’s say he does take all the shots? Do you think they will be of the best quality when the shots are rushed? No way.
So plan the wedding times and the receptions accordingly making sure there is ample time to take 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. If you do deal with a large photo company, they very well could have several photographers on staff.
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.
Be prepared that you don’t let something like this happen. Planning that special wedding day can be truly wonderful. Be sure that you also plan it thinking about your wedding photographer.
