Wedding Day Photography Planning
Written by MichaelZ on July 19, 2009 – 8:05 am -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 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 consider the pictures are what is going to be captured for a lifetime.
What are the things to think about when making plans with the photographer in mind. The date and time.
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.
Well without even thinking about your photographer, a lot of times couples will 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 shots do you think the photographer can realistically get in with only half an hour to work with? Not that many.
Even worse, let’s say he does take all the shots? Do you think they can take some real good shots if they are being rushed? No way.
So plan the times for the wedding and the reception with enough space in between to take all 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. If you do deal with a large photo company, they very well could have several photographers on staff.
Well making wedding plans without thinking about the availability of the photographer could be 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 ready by not letting this happen. Planning that special wedding day can be truly wonderful. Be sure that you also plan it thinking about your wedding photographer.
