Taking this time to target the wedding industry and learn the ins and outs of wedding photography has been priceless. I want to share with you one of the most critical lessons that I've learned so far. Thankfully I'm a quick study, and I love to immediately incorporate these lessons into my business process to make my job more seamless, and keep my clients satisfied.
Are you ready for it? The Wedding Photo Timeline. If you're not getting a timeline from your photographer, then you're opening the door for missed photos and opportunities. As the photographer, it's really my job to keep a timeline together letting people know where they need to be and what time they need to be there. Of course I've also learned that wedding time falls in a completely different time zone, so I need to allow for some grace. BUT, I also believe that in order to get my job done I need to be assertive enough to grab a group together and start snapping away.
To help you, help me, I've created a worksheet (that is included in my welcome packet) for you to fill out. It's just my way of collecting as much information as possible to make sure that I am in the right place at the right time. It's also a way of making sure that, if I am in the right place at the right time, I also have the names and numbers of the others who need to be at that place with me.
Now, the caveat to this timeline is if you have a wedding coordinator. In which case put me in touch with that gal/guy and I'll work closely with her/him. However, most of the times I've learned that I've got to pull it together or I will have an unhappy bride. So here's the worksheet. Fill it out, get it in. In a few weeks I'll get it back to you with a rough timeline of how the photos are going down on the big day. Then you can rest assured that the details are left in competent hands!
