I went to dinner the other night with one of my 2021 couples and the brides mom tagged along At the end of our dinner she asked What can we do to set you up well for wedding day I just stared back in awe Heres why

This year I will hit over 100 weddings since I started my business 1 0 0 WEDDINGS And in my entire time as a photographer I have never been asked that Obviously my couples are a dream and support me but I loved how she worded the question

Because heres the thing you can go into wedding day with expectations of course and with hopes and ideas for photos yes BUT the greatest thing you can do for your photographer is to tell them you are FOR them This will NOT happen if you dont trust them which is another issue all together

So heres some ways to support your photographer

Clear communication

Ask for their advice

Tell them photos that are your must haves prewedding

Being for them this includes listening to their advice on locations trusting their photo timeline warning them about crazy family or friends and helping protect them from that person lets be real it happens

Voicing any and all concerns BEFORE wedding day to set up a game plan things like rain family photo organization etc

All of those things that I just listed are EXACTLY what Sarah and Merrik did on wedding day I was so excited to head back to the South for their sweet wedding day just outside of Atlanta Not only did they communicate how much they trusted me but their family and friends were so kind and willing to walk laugh and smile through all the different moments throughout the day I would shoot this day again and again
