Most couples want pre-wedding shoot now. Very few of them have a place in mind and even for those, the person creating the magical moments is the pre-wedding photographer. Most couples have no idea of the locations, their ideal location could be just a mile away but they may never have thought of that as their pre-wedding shoot location. Of course budget matters but a good pre-wedding shoot photographer will be able to accomodate you in your budget by choosing a location that’s agreeable to both of you and fits in your budget and it will be the photographer’s job to convert the ordinary to extraordinary.

After the interviews, you would be able to select 1-2 photographers that fit into your budget and vision. Negotiate and ask what they will provide in the quoted price. Things in vogue are Pre-wedding photoshoot, pre-wedding song video, wedding photoshoot and its videography (you can also ask for cinematic video of the wedding), photo albums (including coffee table albums). Of course every feature that you add, you will have to pay extra, not that wedding photographer’s fees are any less to begin with. But it’s nothing exaggerated. They do put in a lot of effort to bring out the “wow” factor in the photograph. What you see is only the time spent taking the photographs but What you see is only the time spent taking the photographs but what you don’t see is the hours they put in planning the photoshoot, post production (editing),  printing, archiving, DVD slide shows, customizing photoalbums to portraits. They also have to spend on bringing their assistants, keeping their apparatus in perfect condition etc. So, what they ask for is really justified.

A thorough wedding photograph will want to research the place of the photoshoot, so that they can find the best spots beforehand and get down to the business when their clients come for photoshoot without wasting any time in deciding the locations.
