Getting the most out of your Wedding
Photography & Video
Your Photographer is a key person, most people meet with their Photographer immediately after securing their Ceremony and Reception sites. We often spend lots of time helping out our customers with many crucial details. Everything from how to plan things right to which vendors we personally recommend. Photographers see it all, we know which vendors are good and which are not so hot. Our Customers always let us know who worked out well when they come in after their Wedding, and we do take careful notes! The bottom line here- work closely with your Photographer, ask him for suggestions and advise about most everything related to your Wedding. If you have not booked your Ceremony and/or Reception sites, consult with your Photographer first. We are experts on locations and are happy to help you select the perfect places as well recommending vendors.
Photographic Nirvana
Number one- select your Photographer based on his work quality and personality. Treat him like a family member once you have hired him. He is your guide all day, so treat him like you would treat a special friend. If you do not feel comfortable and close to a given photographer, do not hire that person.
Recommended game plan:Give your photographer enough time to create nice photos, and also to get yourself to a location to add an exciting look to your album. We love to have fun getting creative with you, so the main thing is to have fun and be happy!
Never spring suprises on your photographer. Always discuss your plans and ideas openly and completely. The worst thing you can do is have a friend or family member playing "key photographer", especially if unannounced. If others are planning to shoot photos, tell them to stay out of your photographers way, and to always keep their eyes open so they can move out of his way. You would not believe how disrespectful guests can be to photographers. If you yourself tell them to stay out of the way, that has the best effect. They do not listen to us, and we do not want to bother you guys with this kind of nuisance during your Wedding. Helping your photographer is the best way to get the most out of your Wedding photography.
Videographer notesIt is always best to hire both photographer
and videographer from the same company. If not, it is recommended
to tell your photographer who your videographer is, and to give your
photographer a say in that. He may have a bad relationship with that
videographer, and that is definatly not in your best interests. If
there is no "bad blood" between videographer and photographer,
then telling him who your videogapher is will allow him to call him
up and work things out. You should tell your videographer that the
photographer has the final word on everything. There are many newer
videographers that have no respect, and their mission is to take the
stage and get the best video at all cost. The attitude with this kind
of so called videographer is that they are more important than the
photographer. We do not work for clients who hire videographers with
this game plan. Our videographers are also financial partners in our
Co, so we have total harmony between all players at A Special Moment,
and most of our customers appreciate this very much.
Guide for choosing Hawaii
wedding videographers
Conclusion
The goal is to have fun, and to have fun, there needs to be harmony between all the players. The way to find out is to ask. The key player is your photographer, so he is the best person to consult with early on. Photographers know more than anyone about vendors and locations, so work with a good photographer first, and do not micro-manage your Wedding. Hire a coordinator to shield you from irritating situations on your Wedding day, or enlist someone to act as one and you will be much better off.
