Photography Basics: Wedding Day Workflow




Are you ready to start booking weddings? Do you need help knowing what to say to the clients?

If you have already booked, are you wondering: "Where do I even begin? Which settings do I use? Where do I stand? What all do I take photos of? What if time is an issue?"

Are you offering a second shooter with your wedding services and not quite sure how to work with another photographer? 

Are you ready to begin shooting weddings like a pro?

If you've had any of these questions - this is the guide for you!

"The Girls" at ALP will be walking you through one of their actual weddings. They start from the very beginning booking inquiry email, to the very last one after the wedding. This will include every correspondence between ann louise photography and their client. They will also be walking you through actually taking photos of the bride getting ready, family formals, bridal party portraits, the ceremony, reception, and so much more. 

Have you ever wanted to take a mentoring session to learn straight from the pros all about how to shoot a wedding? This is the next best thing! Jessica and Jillian go through the entire wedding process and even share their camera settings on every single photo included in this guide!

    "I love, loved, love BP4Us "Walk Me Through A Wedding" guide. I'm shooting my first wedding for a friend and its helped reinforce what I know and calm my silly nerves =]" - Rachel B

    "I also have a wedding guide which I purchased because I'm shooting a cousin's wedding this summer and I had a lot of questions that the guide walked me through!!" - Cindy

    "I started out doing weddings 10 years ago for a few years and moved into studio work. I'm now back at weddings and needed this as a boost to get me back in the flow of things."

    "Quite frankly I don't know what I'd have done if this guide did not exist. I was approached by a friend asking if I'd photograph their friends wedding. Now I've only been to two low key weddings in my life, and way before I became a photographer, but I was itching to try, so fully explaining this to the bride, I accepted. This guide was my lifeline, it has every inch of what you need to know for covering the event, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It enabled me to produce photographs that I'm proud to associate with my work and call mine. The guide is easy to understand, but gives you the detail you simply cannot find anywhere else. A must have for people starting out without a shadow of a doubt." -Steph B
