Take the time to get to know your photographer
“Top wedding photography tips for the perfect photosAnother great way to test your connection with your wedding photographer is to state your concerns upfront. For example, maybe you’re camera shy or you don’t know how to pose or you’re worried about certain wedding party members (like some groomsmen, for example) not cooperating in the group shots. If you’re dreaming of specific pictures not typically included on a wedding shot list, bring that up too,” The Knot.
“If you’re feeling nervous about your day-of photos, we recommend booking a test run ahead of your wedding date. Not only will it give you some gorgeous engagement photos (which you can even use on your save-the-dates), it’ll also give you more time to bond with your pro.”
