How does a Wedding Photographer Prepare for the Wedding Day?

The wedding day for a wedding photographer is a big deal! A wedding couple puts their faith in a wedding photographer and trusts that they are going to capture the day of their dreams and have photos that will last a lifetime. A wedding photographer wants to not only make their wedding couple proud, happy, and love their wedding photos, but they also want to exceed their expectations. This takes knowledge, expertise, and experience. A wedding photographer not only has to be prepared for the wedding day, but they also need to be prepping prior to the big day.  They need to have communications and meetings with the wedding couple prior to the wedding day! They need to have what the couple's expectations are for where their photos are going to be taken, how they are going to be taken, and who the pictures are going to be with. They need to discuss posing and locations of the wedding photos. It is the job of the wedding photographer to capture what the couple's vision of what their photos are going to look like and their expectation of what they expect from the wedding photographer. It is expected for a wedding photographer to show up and take pictures of the ceremony, reception, and the bridal party, but it is another to truly capture the feeling of the day. A professional and skilled wedding photographer knows the right way to prepare for the wedding day to be successful in capturing the true love and excitement of the wedding day!
