Online Photo Ordering and a Happy Bride
 
Nobody understands better than brides and wedding photographers how hectic a wedding day is. Amidst the ensuing chaos and excitement, you’re expected to take meaningful, stunning photos that capture every special moment. It’s a lot to handle, but by utilizing a simple and straightforward process to sell photos online, you’ll have happy brides every single time. 
 
The Bride’s Expectations
 
In a wedding, the bride is always right, and expectations for wedding photography services have never been higher. Strive to make her happy by following these tried-and-true tips:
 
  • Online Print Ordering
One of the easiest ways a wedding photographer can satisfy a bride is by allowing her to easily view, choose and order prints online. It’s convenient for you to sell prints online by providing the bride and groom access to their entire wedding gallery, and it’s especially easy for the couple to determine which photos they want to purchase.
 

  • The Shot List

Ask the bride long before the wedding if there are any specific pictures she expects. Even experienced photographers are sometimes thrown off by the one-off expectations of their brides, so it it’s always a good idea to check with the brides beforehand.
 

  • Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking is a great way to promote your photography services to potential clients, and most brides love the idea of being able to share their digital wedding gallery with friends and family members. 
 
Potential Photographer Expectations
 
In most cases, you’re probably happy to get a couple that is cooperative and interactive. There are a couple other things, though, that need to be addressed with the bride and groom at the get-go.
 

  • Posting on Social Media Sites

If you plan on posting wedding pictures onto public, social media sites, make sure the bride and groom are completely comfortable with it beforehand.
 

  • Photography Storefront and Options

Before the big day, spend some time showing the bride and groom your photography storefront. Explain how easy it is to view and order their prints using Instaproofs, and be sure to mention the purchasing options that are available to them.
