There's No "I" in Photographer

Let's leave the drama on your wedding day to the family, shall we? Before the big day, make sure the photographer and videographer are fast friends.

All too often you'll catch a photographer mutter under his breath that the videographer and his clunky camera need to get out of his way, or you'll see a videographer roll his eyes because the photographer HAS to shoot everything at point blank range. This is not good.

It's important that your photographer and videographer get along and understand each other's requirements on the day. We suggest you get them on the phone to each other before the wedding, so they can discuss how the other works. If possible, arrange for them to do a site visit together so they are well aware of how each other is going to set up and position themselves at the venue.

Oftentimes, photographers have one or two videographers they have worked well with in the past...and vice versa. Ask them for recommendations and make sure you mention who you're leaning towards, to double check they haven't had a clash or bumped heads at another wedding or function.

Make sure they are on the same page, because if they are good at what they do, they will work together and work in a way that is the least obtrusive and most professional.
