As well as a list of important questions to ask your photographer, there are also things you need to tell them, in order to get the photos you want from your big day.<\/p>\n
Of course you\u2019d never dream of telling your photographer how to do their job (they\u2019re the professional, after all), but there are some things they need to know, that aren\u2019t about the perfect lighting or angles, from people who shouldn\u2019t be photographed together to the shots that mean the most to you.<\/p>\n
Read on for our list of important things to tell your photographer.<\/p>\n
1. What to Wear<\/strong> You want them to blend in with your day, so people can enjoy the occasion without feeling self-conscious about being photographed; a photographer in jeans and a t shirt when everyone else is in their black tie finery just won\u2019t look right.<\/p>\n Let them know you don\u2019t expect them to rock up in a tuxedo or a floor-length gown, but formal wear would be appreciated to fit in with the wedding theme.<\/p>\n 2. The Running Order<\/strong><\/p>\n Make sure to give your photographer a copy of the running order of your wedding, so they have an idea of what\u2019s happening when.<\/p>\n The order of the day you give your photographer will be a little different to the one you give your guests. For example, when your guests are enjoying their welcome drinks, you\u2019re photographer will be snapping away for your couple\u2019s portraits.<\/p>\n 3. Whether to Bring Food<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s up to you whether you want to cater for your photographer. Your wedding day is a long one for your photographer, so it\u2019s a nice gesture to provide a meal for them. It needn\u2019t be the same wedding breakfast you\u2019ve catered for your guests, but some hot food and a sit down will make the world of difference to them.<\/p>\n Be sure to communicate whether you\u2019ll be providing food, and when.<\/p>\n
\nWe know it might seem a bit bridezilla to tell your photographer what to wear, but it makes sense to give them some guidance.<\/p>\n
