Wedding Day Photographer Planning
June 26, 2009 // Posted by: admin // Category: cheap plus size clothingWhen most couples plan their wedding day they take a lot of things into consideration. They coordinate the date according to vacation times from work. 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 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 realize that the photos are what are going to last a lifetime.
What are some of the factors when you start 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 sure most people will not raise their hand to that.
Well without even thinking about your photographer, a lot of times couples will do just that. The couple or family basically rush the photographer to try and take all the pictures.
How so you say? Well let’s say, the couple makes the ceremony between 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.
Worse thing to consider, what if he does manage to take all the photos? Do you think they will be of the best quality when the shots are rushed? Of course not.
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 can happen when dealing with a large photographer 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 prepared and don’t let this happen. Planning that special wedding day can be truly wonderful. Make sure you plan it also with your wedding photographer in mind.
