The Wedding Planner
Chances are you've heard of these wedding killers. Or worse, witnessed these slashers live in someone else's story.
The good news is, virtually every wedding can eliminate their threat by hiring qualified professionals.
Read on to understand the threat, so you can hire against it.
The Photographer/Videographer | Killer #5
Poor quality media, Too shy to get in there to get action shots, Not knowing good poses, Poor final media edits, No Multimedia Redundancy (Photo/video Backup Failure)
Poor Quality Media
If your photographer/videographer shows up with a single camera/lense, and no other equipment whatsoever, it's probably not going to end well.
Your wedding day itself could be fine, but you might be disappointed later. Being the DJ, photographers often trust me to keep an eye on their equipment stash, the price at least of a small car. Lenses, batteries, spare cameras, tripods/mounts, the works.
Too Shy To Get Action Shots
To get the best media you need to get into the action.
This means crossing boundaries like getting in the middle of dance floor circles, on stage, and up close.
Not Knowing Good Poses
All things being equal, a photographer who has the better poses has better photos.
They'll understand angles, lighting, exposure, what to do with your hands, and have a timer set 20 minutes before sunset to they can nail your Golden Hour wedding photos/critical moments.
Poor Final Media Edits
Even the best photos can be ruined by poor editing. Make sure your photographer/videographer has a good eye for post-production.
They should be able to enhance the colors, adjust the lighting, and ensure the final product meets your expectations.
No Multimedia Redundancy (The Backup Failure)
A professional wedding photographer shoots on a dual-slot camera. Every time they click the shutter, your photo is instantly written to two separate memory cards at the exact same time. Thing is, SD cards corrupt all the time, and if an amateur shoots your 10-hour wedding on a single card and it fails, your photos are permanently gone.
Furthermore, their backup protocol shouldn't end when they leave the venue. What happens if their studio hard drive crashes or is stolen before they deliver your final gallery? Elite media professionals immediately back up your files to a secondary physical drive and a secure cloud server. Don't leave your once-in-a-lifetime memories in the hands of someone who doesn't understand data security & redundancy.
