What Your Wedding Photographer Wants to Tell You, But Can't

It's no secret that all couples are continuously on the lookout for a professional photographer, who is capable of taking the pinnacle in perfect wedding photos, and the chances are, your wedding photographer would like the opportunity in order to capture your special day and provide you with those perfect wedding photos too. The key to amazing photos is purely down to communication. And unfortunately, since not all professional wedding photographers may not want to tell you what they truly think (out of politeness), this article is here to do it for them. Please hit on Wailea wedding photographers to check more about our services.



Your wedding photographer doesn't own a crystal ball.


Although they wish that they did, your wedding photographer is unable to read your mind and anticipate what it is that you really want. This means it's your responsibility to be upfront and tell them exactly what you want and the things that you don't want. It's recommended to provide your photographer with a short list of photographs that you would like from your special day.


Photographers are not magicians.


Your wedding photographer will do their best to get the shots that you want, but they are unlikely to make your wedding look like it's come out of a high-end movie. You may have also seen something on Pinterest that you like, even though it's great to have inspiration, your photographer is an artist and may be reluctant to copy another photographer's work, so don't expect your wedding photographs to be identical to someone else's.


You can just Photoshop that out, right?


It all depends on what 'that' is. Your wedding photographer will want to get everything as perfect as physically possible on camera. Location scouting, posing, and camera settings are able to 'fix' most things before the click of the shutter. However, if a family member decides to inappropriately photo bomb you during your shoot, your photographer will want to retake the photograph again. It's far easier to get your wedding photo right the first time than to fix it with Photoshop later. Many photographers will often charge for extensive levels of Photoshop editing, as the process can be extremely time-consuming.


Allow your wedding photographer plenty of time.


Timelines and plenty of planning will make your photographer very happy. Nevertheless, the need to be flexible is still there. To get that perfect shot may require some time, which make take longer than you originally thought. For quality photographs, don't rush your photographer! If you want your photographer to capture most of the coverage in Documentary, Candid style then any timeframe is fine.


Don't forget to clean up!


When your wedding photographer is due to take photos of the bride and groom getting ready for their special day, don't forget to clean up! Half eaten breakfast serial, spilt fresh orange and empty coffee cups aren't something you want to spot on your photographs.


It's unlikely that you will see each and every single photo that was taken.


The truth behind this matter is that you probably don't want to see each and every single photograph. A wedding photographer's job is to filter through all of your photographs and select only the best ones. These photos will then go through the painstaking task of finely editing them. Editing over a 1,000 (if not far more) photos will not happen.
