Now that you’ve chosen a photographer for your wedding in Calgary, it’s time to get down to the nitty-gritty of it all. Even though you’ve decided on the rates, the shot-list, the group photos and the style, there’s still much more that your photographer needs to know.
Even though your photographer may not have any further questions, some details about your event that may help them give the right result.
What You Should Tell Your Photographer
1. What they should wear
Though your photographer will have the sense to not show up in shorts and flip-flops, you don’t want them to feel uncomfortable if you have a casual event and they show up in black-tie. Give them a heads-up on your theme and what your guests have been instructed to wear.
2. Your Anticipated Timeline
You want pre-wedding or post-wedding shots? What about first-look pictures? Keep in mind that your photographer has limited time to take all your required pictures. Plan ahead so they can spend their time efficiently.
3. Specific Photos
If you’d have behind-the-scene shots of everyone getting ready rather than a formal shoot, tell your photographer so they have a specific photo list.
Make your point clear on what you want and don’t want. Remember, it’s your wedding album; you have the last say on the complete set of specific shots.
4. Skipping Silly Moments
There are certain moments you’d rather not have captured. While it is funny to see your Uncle Bob dance in an inebriated manner, they may not want to have their antics captured on camera. Take family priorities into account and give your photographer prior warning so they know what not to do.
5. Family Traditions and Group Shots
Don’t let your wedding photographer skip out on an important event because you didn’t tell them. If there are any family traditions, let your photographer know so they can position themselves before it starts. Also, give them information on people you want in group shots as well so they’re tactful in their approach.
