What makes a GREAT wedding photographer? |
1) Listen carefully to all client's needs and make suggestions where and when appropriate.
2) Create a photo time line together with you (allowing different groups to arrive in a staggered fashion ). This helps keep the day flowing and FUN!
3) Scout locations extensively in advance noting the ideal areas for specific key shots with the photo time line in hand so the day of the wedding flows effortlessly.
4) Have a "Plan B" for everything... just in case!!
5) Arrive on time or early on the big day, dress respectfully and be totally prepared mentally, physically and emotionally for the long day ahead.
6) Maintain a calm & fun-loving attitude while simultaneously being technically and creatively proficient.
7) Coordinate groups on a tight time schedule, (keeping the bride & groom from seeing one another of course!) while maintaining a courteous, professional, and entertaining attitude.
8) Having THE BEST, fail-proof equipment, numerous camera bodies, lenses, flashes, filters, film and batteries just in case one goes down.
9) Having an awesome team of skilled photo assistants as an extra set of hands to pass a lens, camera body or another roll of film FAST... so we don't miss a priceless shot!
10) Having a keen eye , sense of timing and confidence to jump in and grab a great shot or coordinate one to look beautiful.
11) Create images that go FAR beyond the expected, ordinary, standard wedding photography - Create a touching, emotional, funny, sentimental images of your fabulous day!!
Hiring anyone less capable is taking a big risk. Afterall... all you have left after you've spent thousands are you pictures... shouldn't they be the VERY BEST?
