This seems quite obvious but I\u2019d like to outline the benefits it has for me, the wedding photographer.<\/p>\n<p>Being photographed, for some people, can be a real challenge; I know it is for me. I\u2019m not camera shy, but I must admit I\u2019m quite vain.\u00a0 I don\u2019t mind being photographed, but I rarely enjoy the result. I think this is true of a lot of people and when you\u2019re the bride and groom, you will be photographed several hundreds, possibly thousands, of times throughout your day. Therefore, it is important to try and feel more comfortable than usual, a good photographer knows this and that\u2019s one of the primary parts of the job, to relax the clients.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11212\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11212\" style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-11-at-10.33.51-PM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-11212  \" alt=\"wedding photo uk\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-11-at-10.33.51-PM-1024x680.png\" width=\"768\" height=\"510\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11212\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-11212  \" alt=\"wedding photo uk\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-11-at-10.33.51-PM-1024x680.png\" width=\"768\" height=\"510\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pbweddingphotography.com\/\">pbweddingphotography<br \/><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>By meeting beforehand, you and your photographer can start building a bond\u00a0 on a personal level. The photographer might visit your home, or the venue (I usually do both), or even just meet in a local cafe, sit down for an hour and get to know each other by asking questions about each other. It\u2019s usually based on the client finding out more about the photographer, in order to decide upon hiring the individual, but there\u2019s more to it than that.<\/p>\n<p>It is about the photographer getting to know the client as well, through casual banter; finding out what they do, what type of people they are, where they live, finding something that you have in common, etc&#8230; The point is that meeting for just an hour allows for a client relationship to flourish into a small friendship which makes a huge difference in the flow of the day and the final photo product.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11214\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11214\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-11-at-10.34.47-PM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11214 \" alt=\"wedding photo ideas\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-11-at-10.34.47-PM.png\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-11-at-10.34.47-PM.png 800w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-11-at-10.34.47-PM-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-11-at-10.34.47-PM-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-11-at-10.34.47-PM-500x333.png 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-11-at-10.34.47-PM-749x500.png 749w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-11-at-10.34.47-PM-672x448.png 672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11214\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11214 \" alt=\"wedding photo ideas\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-11-at-10.34.47-PM.png\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-11-at-10.34.47-PM.png 800w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-11-at-10.34.47-PM-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-11-at-10.34.47-PM-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-11-at-10.34.47-PM-500x333.png 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-11-at-10.34.47-PM-749x500.png 749w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-11-at-10.34.47-PM-672x448.png 672w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pbweddingphotography.com\/\">pbweddingphotography<br \/><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So when you meet your photographer, bring the parents, the kids or even a friend, allow them to meet more of your family and see how they are with the children.
