Why Your First Chat with Your Photographer Matters More Than You Think
Why Your First Chat with Your Photographer Matters More Than You Think
Choosing your wedding photographer is about so much more than pretty pictures. Yes, you want someone who can deliver stunning images—but there’s one thing that’s just as important as their portfolio: making sure you actually click with them.
That’s where a simple pre-wedding call comes in.
Why the Call Matters
Your photographer will be with you through some of the most emotional, exciting, and even chaotic moments of your day. They’ll be there when you’re getting ready with your friends, standing at the altar, and sharing your first dance as a married couple. Having someone you connect with on a personal level changes everything.
During a call, you get the chance to:
See if your personalities mesh – You’ll quickly know if you feel comfortable with them.
Talk through your vision – Share what’s most important to you, whether it’s candid moments, creative portraits, or both.
Ask questions – Everything from timelines to backup plans becomes easier to discuss in real time.
The Comfort Factor
When you mesh with your photographer, you’ll feel more at ease in front of the camera—and that shows in your photos. Natural smiles, genuine laughter, and those candid moments happen when you feel like you’re hanging out with a friend, not just “hiring someone.”
My Approach
I love hopping on a call with couples because it sets the tone for the entire experience. We get to know each other, talk about what you want for your day, and make sure we’re a good fit. The goal isn’t just amazing photos—it’s making sure the experience is enjoyable from start to finish.
Final Thoughts
So, before you book, schedule that call. Take the time to chat, laugh, and see if you vibe with your photographer. Because at the end of the day, the right photographer isn’t just someone who takes great pictures—they’re someone who helps you feel comfortable, confident, and ready to enjoy every moment of your wedding day.
