Welcome back to our blog! It is back up and running after taking a break for quite some time. Now that everyone is looking for photography services online now more than ever, we thought it was the ideal time to share valuable information on our blog. This week, brides and grooms will learn practical tips to be prepared for a photoshoot with an Orlando photographer.
How to choose a photographer:
Choosing a photographer can be extremely overwhelming. There are many in Orlando. It is even more challenging for destination wedding brides and grooms searching for the perfect Orlando wedding photographer.
Because of this, we want to a few pointers to make the process easier. First, look at the photographer’s past work. If the portfolio blows you away, reach out to gather more details. If you can afford the fees and they are available for your date, it is a great idea to walk through the venue with the photographer.
Physically walking around the venue will give you and the photographer a great feel for the lighting and backdrops. This is also a phenomenal way to choose the perfect outfits and shoes. Many women make the mistake of wearing gorgeous heels in a rocky or sandy terrain which is of course not ideal and will make the subject’s face not as natural and gleaming as it could be.
However, if the venue is indoors, we can get stunning images of designer shoes, handbags, and any other important details. A great photographer will also time out the shoot with the wardrove kept in mind. If it is a getting-ready session, an experienced photographer will make the most of the time with getting fantastic detail pictures such as the one shown here.
The right photographer will team up with the clients to choose ideal shoes and outfits. Hair and makeup is also important when it comes to weather, time, and location. For instance, you may opt for a classic, up-do hairstyle if you are on the beach so the wind is not blowing your hair in front of you and your fiancé’s face.
Budgeting:
Every event or photoshoot has a budget. Keep the budget in mind. When searching for a photographer, compare prices and fees. Some photographers have a more up-front price.
For example, one photographer may say their fee is a certain price per hour. Additionally, they add on venue fees, entrance fees, parking fees, camera equipment rental fees, and much more. At the end of it all, you may end up paying the same price as your first choice photographer.
Also, be sure to compare how many edited images will be provided. Ask if you will be getting all unedited images as well. Provide the photographer with you must-have image ideas. If some images require long distance shots, the photographer can include the appropriate equipment in their pricing.
