Getting married isn’t something you get to experience every day. For most people, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime event. While the ceremony will likely be one of the most memorable parts of the day, it’s important to remember that it’s only one part of the overall experience.
To ensure that everyone has a great time at the ceremony and the reception, it’s best to talk to your wedding photographer beforehand. Here are five things that you definitely want to touch on before your big day arrives.
It’s important to give your wedding photographer a good idea of how your day will go. If there’s anything that needs to be coordinated with the caterers or other vendors, you should be sure to mention it.
Make sure that you give your photographer your ceremony start time, which may be different from the time of arrival. Notify them of any special events, such as an acoustic performer or valet service.
While your photographer will likely have a solid idea of the shots they’ll want to get if they’ve done their job right, it’s still important to make sure that you’ve shared your must-have shots with them.
This will ensure that they know what they need to focus on and make sure they get the coverage you want from the ceremony. If you have a list of must-haves, it will help them better coordinate with you and other vendors, as well as make sure your day goes smoothly.
Make sure to provide your photographer with a list of your important guests. This will help them better coordinate with you and the other vendors. Your photographer will be eager and able to take shots of the guests you want them to and will be able to make sure all of your important people are positioned in the correct places. A face sheet will also help your photographer identify people who are missing from the shot and act accordingly.
If you have a dress code for your reception, let your photographer know what you would like them to wear. It’s a good idea to let them know beforehand so that they’ll have time to rent, borrow or buy the appropriate attire for the event.
The style of your venue will likely have a huge impact on your wedding photos. A bride who is getting married at a church will likely have very different expectations than one who’s getting married in a studio. Make sure to let your photographer know what sort of style they can expect.
If your wedding reception is taking place in a space that is not well-lit, make sure to inform your photographer. You may need to have additional lights or reflectors brought in.
By keeping your photographer in the loop, you can ensure that they’re prepared for any lighting issues that could arise. Proper lighting is a huge part of making a great photo, and your photographer should be informed of how they will be able to capture your day.
Your wedding day will go by in a flash. Make sure that your photographer is fully prepared for your big day so that you can just relax and enjoy it. By talking to them beforehand, you’ll make sure that you get the shots that you want, so they can be sure to capture all of your big moments.
