It’s important to assess whether a client is the right match for your photography style and the stories you’re good at capturing. When you’re consulting with clients, ask questions about what exactly they want, and consider whether you’re prepared to offer the services they want. Once you’ve decided to work with a couple, cultivate a positive, communicative relationship. You don’t have to be best friends with every couple that you shoot, but a basic level of trust helps clients to be themselves on the wedding day. The more comfortable they feel with you, the more moments you’ll be invited to shoot.
When it comes to your own wedding, a friends or a clients...to me capturing a moment that is full of emotion or the photographs that people will keep for years. When a father sees his daughter for the first time in her wedding dress or when the groom sees the bride walk down the aisle...or even the smaller moments. Whichever they are, knowing a few tricks could help you to capture a set of images that these individuals will never forget, is a photographers honor.
