INTRODUCTION
In the calendar of event of most families, a wedding ranks very near the top of the list in terms of its significance. To the parents of both the bride and groom, who these days often share the costs of the reception, the marriage of their children is also the motivation for single most expensive celebration they ever hold. And in the weeks, months, and years following the marriage day, after all the tensions and anxieties are long forgotten, it is the portfolio of wedding photographs that will most vividly recall the excitement, happiness, and fun of the day.
The photographer’s role
The professional wedding photographer has to strike a balance between putting the necessary time into each job, in order to find out exactly what the client wants, and yet not spend so much time that the agreed fee for producing the pictures becomes uneconomic.
At least one planning meeting with the couple is essential. At this meeting, it is important to discuss when the photographic coverage is to start – at the wedding venue, for example , or earlier at the bride’s home on the day itself.
Some couple may also ask for studio photographs to be taken before the wedding day, or location shots. If location shots are wanted, then you will have to agree where and when.
Make sure at this meeting that you also confirm the time and location of the wedding ceremony, and of the reception if you are covering that as well. Many photographers are asked just to shoot the ceremony and, say, one or two pictures of the couple cutting the cake. But even if this abbreviated coverage of the reception is all that is required, you will still have to budget for the time and expense involved in getting there.
It is also a good idea to agree beforehand a detailed shot-list of the “can’t be missed” photographs, such as the set-piece shots of the bride arriving at the church, registry office, or wherever it is the ceremony is taking place, the couple taking their vows, signing the marriage register afterwards, family and friend throwing confetti, and so on.
The cost of the photography coverage is often determined by the number of pictures the clients wish you to produce for the finished portfolio-but if anything in the pre-wedding discussions leads you to believe that an additional fee will be likely, then agree this this contingency in advance, and in writing.
