Like many significant things in life, preparation is vital to success when it comes to wedding photography. If you're properly prepared then there is a reduced risk of any type of failure on the big day. Getting prepared for a wedding photography job can be done in three simple steps which can sometimes be treated similar to a wedding rehearsal.
The first step is to try to plan a run through with the couple 1 or 2 months before the marriage date. Doing a walk thru of the day with the couple will help you all to choose what photographs will be taken and where in the locale will be a good location for specific photos. It could be to early for everyone to understand exactly what they need regarding photography, but doing a run thru will help to give concepts about potential shots. It is also a fairly great idea to see the lighting in the venue, especially if you visit at a corresponding time of day to when the marriage will take place.
Some couple like to use this run thru to take some pictures as test shoots, sometimes known as an engagement shoot.
As the wedding draws closer, it's time for step two. It is important to meet up with the couple roughly one week before the wedding so as to make sure that previously discussed ideas are still going forward. This is the perfect time to put together a final list of those must have shots. It can be helpful to get names of all family members and attendants who are to be included in the group shots and formal photographs. Without a concrete list of the shots you need to take on the day it can be straightforward to miss someone out in the hustle and bustle of the day itself.
The final step is to get a good nights sleep the evening before the ceremony. A marriage is a long and regularly stressed day and you'll need to be fresh and dynamic in order to get the best photographs on the day.
