the early bird eats the worm. Book Your Wedding Venue And Wedding Photographer ASAP

Most often, couples book their wedding venue first, and then their photographer. But when your wedding photography is paramount over anything else, you can book your wedding photographer first to lock them in and then book your wedding venue that fits that photographers schedule and that set date. That said, you can also go the route of booking your wedding venue first but also after checking in with the photographer you are really wanting to hire, and then locking both in nearly simultaneously. That way, you get the best of both worlds with everything you are desiring. And this is why it’s also good to go into the conversation with a few dates in mind.

I can’t tell you how many couples I have had to, unfortunately, turn away because I was already booked.

How soon do i need to book my wedding photographer?

Now. ASAP. Don’t delay this. If you are really wanting to ensure you get the person you want for your special day, book them now. Some photographers book their schedules up to 2 years in advance. Most book 9-14 months in advance. So, if you are thinking about a super popular peak season, peak date (remember those Saturdays in summer time), book early. And when you inquire, be ready to make a decision relatively quickly. It’s common to receive multiple inquiries for peak dates, and bookings are first-come, first served. I don’t want you missing out!

Do i need to pay in full or are there payment plans available?

Most wedding venues and wedding professionals offer payment plans. You do not need to pay in full. A wedding is an investment in your cherished memories, and many wedding pros are more than happy to offer customized payment plans if you ask. Personally, I offer payment plans. I want to be one wedding resource that you do not have to stress about. And being married myself, I totally know how that can go.

What happens after I book you as my wedding photographer?

There are a few things! First, you will get a questionnaire to fill out to help me get on the same page with your nitty-gritty details, your must-haves, and to know who the other wedding vendors will be. That way, if I ever have any questions about something, I know who to reach out to, and I know who to credit when I am submitting your beautiful wedding day to wedding magazines, blogs, and posting to my own social media.

After that, it’s you and I keeping in touch. You send me emails whenever you have questions, and I provide you with the answers or a resource for you to check out to get the answers you’re looking for. Either way, I am there to help you along the way.

As your wedding date nears, it’s about nailing down those details. I will send you some reminders about the timeline, family portraits, and other key pieces of info to help ensure we are on the same page about everything well ahead of time. That way, you simply can just sit back, relax, and enjoy your wedding day to the fullest.

During this time, you also have the option of scheduling an engagement session.
