Happy Monday, y’all! My sister Rachel, who owns her own photography business RAW Images, is sharing a little bit about what the behind the scenes of a wedding photographer looks like!
I wanted to share a tidbit into the life of a wedding photographer. I do every different type of photography (babies, seniors, families, events, etc), but if I had to pick a favorite, it’s definitely a wedding.
I always plan to arrive early to scope out the venue, use the bathroom, and get settled before the constant movement begins.
Then it’s fire away!📸
I set aside as much time as I can to do details. Some days allow more time than others, but I always make a list of the essentials:
– Dress, Shoes (his & hers), Rings (his & hers), Any additional jewelry, Veil, Garter, Invite (with envelope and RSVP is available),Flowers.
If I have a second shooter, I send them with the guys and I stay with the girls to snap some “getting ready” pictures. Most of the time everyone is already ready, so it’s a lot of reenacting.
If the couple decides on a first look, we will do that and then couple portraits.
After that it’s bridal party pictures..
Then family…
Then ceremony…
Then reception
And exit!
If a couple decides against a first look, I will do bridal/groom portraits separate, bridesmaids, groomsmen, bride and brides family, groom and grooms family.
Either way every wedding day in generally the same flow but always end up different!
I am super OCD organized, so I provide a timeline for my brides if they choose the option and let me say- it is a LIFESAVER! Having direction through a busy day is a key to making it run the most smooth.
I absolutely love weddings! If you or someone you know is getting married, check out my website for pricing and galleries!

That picture of the flowers in the chair – WOW! Absolutely beautiful! You are so lucky to have such an amazing photographer in the family. 🙂
Working with photographers as a wedding planner is my favorite!! Love learning more about her business! xo, Biana-BlovedBoston
Amazing shots, Rachel has a gift!
A lot of experienced photographers believe that hands -on learning is a good way to learn photography. As a beginner photographer it would be a benefit to take the photography courses so that you would understand the basic and important technical features on the Wedding videography London that the professional use.
Just admiring your work and wondering how you managed this blog so well. It’s so remarkable that I can't afford to not go through this valuable information whenever I surf the internet! actual day wedding photographer singapore
