The meeting is going well, the exchange is constructive, his photos seduce you and you want to commit yourself for fear that it will slip through your fingers. Wait! Play fair with him, flatter him reasonably, and tell him that you like his job but that you want to see someone else quickly before committing. Sometimes we have surprises and good things. Ask him to reserve priority for you for a few days and you will come back to him quickly 10 days maximum with your final answer. You need to be specific in this case and the solutions will be there too.
Now is the time to get involved and you decided to trust the photographer you met first. Tell him with enthusiasm, it will please him and start to install a little complicity. It is important. It will photograph a unique moment in your life enter your intimacy by shooting photos of you fittings, make-up, dressing of you and your spouse so it is good to install connivance between you. There is nothing better than a lunch or even a drink taken together, to discuss everything except photography and your wedding. You will see it is very effective.
Three Points Quickly To Conclude This First Part: The Budget, The Equipment And The Contract.
On the money side there is everything on the market: negotiate reasonably but be careful, the deal must be “fair” if you want the provider to give the best of him. Pay a deposit on booking, a second third for example before the evening (entrust a friend with the task of handing over the check) and the balance upon receipt of the photos.
On the equipment side, you can inquire and to give you an idea, a set consisting of 2 professional digital cameras equipped one with an 80-200 mm zoom or tele opening at 2.8 and the other with a 28 mm accompanied by a small reflector and a flash to “unblock” the shadows “will respond to all situations.
Finally provide a contract between you indicating the duties and obligations of each. The true professional will not be offended by the request and will see it as proof of your seriousness. Please note, make sure you include a clause which specifies his presence on the day and not that of a replacement, except in cases considered as “force majeure”, that’s already seen!
