It is well know in the world of wedding photography that “a picture is worth a thousand words" ...only if you get the shot. All over the planet people are getting engaged, planning a wedding, and getting married right at this moment. It is no wonder this 72 billion dollar a year industry (and that amount is just for the USA!) has photographers jumping right in. There is money to be made, and a lot of it. The average bride spends $2,500-$5,000 on the photographer alone, not including an album or engagement session which can double or even tripple the cost. With the digital craze practically anyone can learn to shoot and practically anyone can call themselves a wedding photographer. The sad thing is, many photographers out there are monkey shooters, chimping after every shot. So, how do you, as a photographer, get the right shots? I will, over the next few weeks, count down the top ten mistakes photographers make.
10. The Narcissist
Every Couple is different. If you as the photographer don't get to know your client, how will you know what they want? Wedding photographers are sometimes a bit narcissistic as artists and they forget to ask the client the types of photos they are looking to get.
ADVICE: ASK! Make sure you find out what their expectations are of the final outcome and if there are any shots they HAVE to have.
