If your wedding is coming up, you may be wondering how to make sure that you get the photographs you want. You also want to be sure that you have made things easy for the photographer so that the day runs smoothly. The most important thing you can do is to be accurate and complete when you fill out your preference and style sheet for Wedding Bug. This allows us to select the right San Francisco wedding photographer for you.
Communication is the Key
It is critical that you stay in close contact with Wedding Bug and your photographer. You may have scheduled your wedding and immediately contacted us to make sure we would be available on your date. As your plans solidify, you will want to reconnect with us to make sure that everyone is on the same page.
Agenda
Your wedding day agenda is the timetable that will determine how long you will need your photographer. If you want pre-wedding photos of you getting ready, you will need to be sure to add that time into your totals. If you want the same kind of photos of the groom, you may want to get a package that includes a second photographer so that everything is covered. Remember to include time for the ceremony and family pictures afterward, as well as for the reception.
Location
Location is everything in real estate, and it plays a key role for wedding photography in San Francisco. If you are inside, the lighting and kinds of shots available will require certain equipment and expertise. Something totally different would be required if you are getting married at the beach or in a park. If your ceremony is in a church, you will need permission from the officiant to take actual photos during the ceremony. Sometimes photography is not allowed, so you may want to make other arrangements for photos that show what happened during the ceremony to be taken afterward. You also need to let Wedding Bug know about both the ceremony location and the reception location so that they can plan accordingly.
Family and Friend Group Shots
Remember to plan enough time into your schedule for group shots of the family and friends that have come to help you celebrate your happy day. Remember that these photos will often take longer than you expect and if you don't allow enough time for them, everyone could become anxious or frustrated trying to get the groups set up for the photos before rushing onto the wedding dinner or reception. In addition, you want to make sure that there is enough time to have plenty of shots taken of just you and your new husband. Many brides are beginning to schedule group shots and photos of the bride and groom on the day before the wedding so that the wedding day can be more relaxed.
