After the initial enquiry I usually set up a meeting to chat and get to know the couple and chat about the day, then I let the couple speak in private at home and if they want to book then a deposit is taken and contract signing is required. The couple have the option to have a pre wedding shoot included, this gives them the chance to get to know me better and my style and get some great shots and tips on posing... I have another meeting with the couple about a month before the wedding to go over everything again and then wedding day..... woo hoo............
That one photo that can printed large and put up in the house and visitors will be wowed by.
I want to see the connection between the couple, not a posed photo with cheesy smiles but still a amazing moment between two people in love.
A photo that could be on a movie poster. You're all dressed up, the set is ready now lights, camera, action!!!!!!
Usually I'm the one coming up with the crazy ideas, although I was once asked to photograph one of the groomsmen who had lost a bet and had to wear a thong for the whole wedding day.. I'll leave that image in your head, suffice to say I don't use that photograph in any of my portfolio's.....
Just enjoy it.. Don't let it ruin your day.. I carry brollies and am super prepared for any eventuality... Theres always an option, we just need to make an alternative awesomeness!!
I fell in love with photography at art college back in the film days and went to Uni to study more.. Loved it so much I worked on cruise ships as a photographer for 3 years and then eventually settled down and haven't looked back since.. I love what photography does for people.. The memories and emotions you can invoke with a simple picture... amazing...
