Working with Your Photographer: Communication, Collaboration, and Expectations

Working with Your Photographer: Communication, Collaboration, and Expectations

When it comes to wedding photography, there are no do-overs or quick fixes—you have one chance at getting everything perfect from start to finish. To ensure that your photos turn out exactly how you envisioned them, it’s important to have open and honest communication with your photographer. We suggest that you:

  • Work closely with your photographer before your wedding to ensure they have a clear understanding of what type of photos you want and the order in which you want to take them.
  • Discuss the type of editing and retouching services that they offer.
  • Ask for any advice or tips that they may have to help get the best photos possible.
  • Make sure you feel comfortable with the poses and location that you and your photographer have chosen.

Photo shoots – Location, posing, and backdrops

Preparation is key. Helping your photographer plan the perfect photo shoot for your wedding is a must for getting those magical shots of you and your partner.

First things first: find a location for your photo shoot. Talk with your photographer and decide on a place that will work best for the type of photos you’re looking for.

Next, plan out a list of poses that you want to do during your photo shoot. Whether it’s something classic like sitting on a bench or something more creative, make sure your photographer is aware of all the poses you have in mind so they can help bring them to life. You can choose to add props or other items to make your photos unique.

Creative photography ideas – Theme, props, and special requests

Creative photography ideas can take your wedding photos to the next level and make them truly unique. Before your big day, brainstorm some creative ideas for your photos and discuss them with your photographer. It’s important to communicate your vision for the photos to your photographer and get their input on how best to achieve it.

Consider incorporating items that have special meaning to you and your partner, such as:

  • Creating a unique backdrop or staging area to add depth and color to your photos
  • Incorporating your wedding theme (if you have one)
  • Using a family heirloom or a meaningful item from your relationship
