Wedding Welcome guide
How to choose your ideal wedding photographer
There are so many different wedding photographers available, all with their own unique styles… your wedding photos are something you will hold on to and look back on for the rest of your lives so you need to make sure you get the perfect photographer. Read my tips below for a helping hand in choosing the right photographer for you.
How to write a photography brief
Writing a brief for your photographer will ensure you get the best results from your shoot; a strong bank of imagery to meet and exceed your expectations and bring your vision to life. Put simply, a brief will tell your photographer what your vision is, outline your goals, tell them what you require and how you plan to use the photos. A strong, clear brief will be hugely beneficial for both yourself and your photographer.
Planning your Product Photoshoot
First things first, do your research. Have a look through your photographers portfolio, have a browse through Pinterest and Instagram and find any images that you like the style of or have a similar look to what you are hoping to achieve. You can also search for other product photographers, and other companies selling similar products to yours. Consider whether you want minimal, clean, e-commerce style shots, colourful styled shots or would you like to take a lifestyle approach? Gather a few images you like the style of for inspiration and have a go at creating your own mood board. Your photographer will create a collaborative mood board to work with you on, but it doesn’t hurt to have your own too!
Planning your Personal Branding Photoshoot
Booking a personal branding shoot can be daunting, especially if you aren’t used to being in front of the camera! However this is the first step to becoming more visible in your business! Branding shoots are a great way to build a bank of professional imagery which you can use to tell your customers all about the story and the person behind the business. Having a professional, consistent style throughout your imagery on your website, social media and blog will really elevate your brand whilst showcasing your services and making your business more approachable.
