Things You Should Avoid to Make
Wedding Photography Work in Your
Favor
Never make the mistake of thinking that your photographer is aware of every single detail. It is your
responsibility to give them a shot list and inform them about the right colors of your wedding. You
should also inform them about the number of guests you are expecting so they could make some
preparations accordingly. If your photographer is OK to walk into an event without having any clue
about what to expect it is better to look for someone else. Communication should always be your top
priority.
Never try to be super fussy with your shot list, and you should avoid the other extreme as well – that is
to ignore your shot list completely. Being too specific with your shot list would put unnecessary stress
on your photographer and make it difficult for them to work on your big day. It is true that your
photographer should make you feel comfortable but you should try to do the same with them. When
your photographer is not under unnecessary stress, they feel more productive and creative which is
going to reflect in the pictures they take. However, it is still a good idea to talk to your photographer
before your wedding and inform them about the shots you absolutely need. Showing them a few
pictures of shots you want will serve the purpose well. You do not want to push it further or else it
might offend the photographer. If you have selected a professional photographer, you need to
understand that they really know how to use the camera to provide you with some artistic images.
Similarly not showing any interest to develop a good shot list is never a good idea because it does not
provide your photographer with any idea about the style of photos you really need. Therefore, you
should help your photographer create a good shot list but try not to be too picky about everything.
Never let everyone at your wedding party to tell your photographer have to take great pictures. Only
the bride and groom should have the privilege to tell the photographer about the shots they want. The
same goes for the videographer, DJ, caterers, and wedding coordinator. You should also talk to your
family members and tell them that it is your job and responsibility to tell the photographer, DJ,
videographer or anyone covering your wedding to change the way they are working. Understand that it
is your wedding and you are the boss here.
