Perfect Wedding Planning from Wedding Photography Checklist
It’s a great idea to make a wedding photography checklist in spite of what type of photographer you use for your wedding. Whether you are hiring a wedding photographer or friends to make your wedding photos, wedding photography checklists just make sense. Start early when creating your list. Don’t forget to open your ideas clearly. They are just as important as the listed items. Photographers have collected lots of ideas for your list.
Arrange to meet up the couple at least a week before the wedding. You have to go through your wedding photography checklist with the photographer to get a good idea of what they expect of you on the day. Things to go through are like these, the fashion of photography, get together the visitors, what will you wear? events of before the Ceremony, events at the Ceremony, formal Wedding Photos, events at the reception.
