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
