Good Communication
From the time when the customer visits your office, you must develop good communication with them. As a photographer, you must communicate well with the new clients based on earlier projects. Such talk will build confidence in customers to hire you.
Punctuality
Never be late to the marriage location. Try to be there at the earliest and take a few candid’s of the bride and groom. Also, by reaching early, you can fix the locations for clicks. If you are late, then you may miss the best moments prior to the ceremony.
One-Man Army
The wedding ceremony is something big and so a single photographer cannot reach every place. Working in a group will be a good choice as everyone can work in a different direction.
Not Having A Contract
It’s important to have a contract with you and the customers. By reading the agreements, clients can understand the number of photos includes at different price package and so on.
No Pre-plan On Pose
If you aren’t having a pre-plan on poses, then at the last rush minutes you will be clicking photos regardless of good or bad. Also, you will end up in unnecessary poses and leading to the client’s disappointment.
High Cost
People avoid hiring professionals at high costs. So, keep your pricing package at the best rather than charging at higher rates.
Avoiding The Firsts
At a marriage ceremony missing out the first kiss, first dance and other first romantic moments between bride and groom will result in dissatisfaction of customers. So, don’t miss such shots.
Not Listening To Clients Requirement
It’s good to ask the clients if they have any list of poses to be documented. Working on our own, regardless of asking customers will result in a misunderstanding in the end.
No Backup Equipment
Sometimes the battery in the camera may be low or may not work! In such scenarios, if you don’t possess an alternate camera then you know what will happen! So, have backup equipment in your bag.
Out Of Trend
Stay updated to changing trends! If you aren’t updating yourself, then sooner you will be out of the race. To increase customers it is important to be in trend.
Lack Of Trust
Photography works on the trust between customer and photographer. If it is broken, then it will not only ruin the current project but also future work you could have earned.
No Contact With Wedding Coordinator
Get in touch with the coordinator and ask about the ceremony updates. It will make them understand that you are really interested in working with them.
Relying Only On Camera
Photography is not just about the superior camera. So, do not rely only on the camera but rather introduce innovative ideas to your stills.
Spending Too Much Time On Edit
Editing is a tedious task and so rather than working sleeplessly on edit manually, use tools to complete the work at the earliest.
Completing Works On Time
Last but not least to complete the work on time and give the album to the clients within the prescribed time. If you delay it, then it may affect your payment and also the future projects you could have gotten.
