Plan Your Wedding Day Photography
By Busy Door Guest Blogger | July 19, 2009
When most brides and grooms make wedding day plans, they take certain things into consideration. They coordinate the date according to vacation times from work. 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 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 want their photographer to rush through the photos? I am pretty sure most people will not raise their hand to that.
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 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 will be of the best quality when the shots are rushed? No way.
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. 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.
Be prepared that you don’t let something like this happen. Planning your wedding day is wonderful. Make sure that your plan has the wedding photographer in mind as well.
