wedding photography and videography

Planning wedding photography and videography is a crucial part of capturing the memories of your special day. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you navigate this process:

1. Define Your Style

Photography:

Traditional: Classic posed portraits.

Photojournalistic: Candid, storytelling shots.

Fine Art: Artistic, creative compositions.

Lifestyle: Natural, relaxed photos with an emphasis on storytelling.

Videography:

Cinematic: Dramatic, film-like with a focus on storytelling.

Documentary: A straightforward recording of the event, often with interviews.

Short-form: A highlight reel, typically 3-5 minutes.

Storytelling: Combines elements of both documentary and cinematic styles.

2. Research and Shortlist Photographers/Videographers

Tips:

Look at portfolios and full galleries/videos.

Check reviews and testimonials.

Compare packages and pricing.

Meet in person or have a video call to ensure good rapport.

3. Set a Budget

Determine how much you are willing to spend.

Understand what’s included in packages (number of hours, number of shooters, prints, albums, edited photos/videos, etc.).

4. Check Availability

Ensure your chosen professionals are available on your wedding date.

Book as early as possible, especially if your wedding is during peak season.

5. Discuss the Details

For Photography:

Shot List: Key moments and specific shots you want.

Timeline: Align photography with the wedding schedule.

Group Shots: Organise and communicate family and group photos.

For Videography:

Key Moments: Vows, speeches, first dance, etc.

Style Preferences: Discuss your preferred editing style and music.

Drone Footage: If desired and permitted at the venue.

6. Plan an Engagement Shoot

Great for getting comfortable with your photographer.

Provides additional photos for wedding announcements or a guestbook.

7. Sign a Contract

Ensure all details, rights, and expectations are clearly outlined.

Read the terms regarding deposits, payment schedules, cancellations, and delivery timelines.

8. Communicate with Your Wedding Planner/Venue

Share the photographer/videographer's requirements and needs.

Confirm access to all necessary locations.

Ensure good lighting at preparation locations.

Consider a pre-wedding interview or love story shoot.

10. Post-Wedding Follow-Up

Confirm the delivery timeline for photos and videos.

Discuss options for albums, prints, and extra copies.

Additional Tips:

Backup Plan: Ensure your professionals have backup equipment.

Second Shooter: Consider having a second photographer/videographer for more coverage.

Unplugged Ceremony: Ask guests to refrain from taking their own photos/videos during the ceremony to avoid distractions.

4. Do you have experience with our venue or similar settings?
