What You Should Do When Working
with Someone for Wedding
Photography
It is important to inform your photographer about your expectations. Communication is the key here.
Experienced photographers will ask for a detailed schedule with clear information regarding times of
where and when the event is taking place. However, it is not enough to just furnish them with all the
details regarding the big day; in fact, it is better to sit down together and share all your expectations.
Proper communication will ensure that your big day runs in a smooth fashion.
You should talk to your photographer about the shot list and understand the procedures. Be sure to
follow the procedures to the dot. Keep in mind that experienced photographer will always share a shot
list and if yours have not shared anything in this regard, it might mean that they know nothing about
what they are doing. A professional photographer will always ask about the style in which you want
your images to be captured. You may ask them to follow a photojournalistic style where they are free
to catch events as they take place. Some brides are more interested in portraiture style photography.
The best thing is to create your own Pinterest board and share it with your photographer so they can
decide exactly what types of photos you want.
Anyone in charge of wedding photography should know that you are the boss here. They should do
everything you ask them to do– they should have no issues taking pictures of you shaking a leg with
your bride if that is what you need. You may want the second shooter to assist you with some shots –
you may ask them to hold the veil for a perfect shot. Just tell them what you have on your mind and
how you want your day to proceed.
Allow guests to take their own photos, with your permission of course. Understand that it is a party
after all and they should enjoy themselves. However, you need to ensure that your guests do not
interfere with the work of your wedding photographer. Tell them to cooperate with other or put
someone in charge of things to ensure that things go as smooth as possible.
