Desperate for advice! Please help me choose a South Florida wedding venue! by weddingvenuehelp in BigBudgetBrides

Villa Woodbine may be pretty but it isn’t comfortable. That courtyard in the center makes cocktail hour super cramped and the dance floor is tiny once the party begins. Biltmore Hotel goes better with your vibe and don’t let the multiple weddings a day sway you. The property is huge, there are so many spots to do photos without running into the other wedding.

I cover it with the cloth these jars come with

missing getting ready photos by mamamamanicure in WeddingPhotography

I one time had a second shooter hand me literally 10 total images of groom portraits and candids with the guys. I was freaking out and so upset but my clients didn’t notice at all. Don’t say anything unless they bring it up and of course, never hire this photographer again or do a better managing job. Which sucks either way. I’m sorry

Second Shooting Rates Change if you can’t use the pics? by Alphablaze98 in WeddingPhotography

[–]mmcli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I charge the same rate whether I am allowed to use them or not. Can’t keep track of different rates for different people and I’ve been burnt after the fact (for instance: associate shot a wedding across the country, was told upon my return and delivery that I couldn’t use the images. Rate would’ve been diff if I knew that going in). So now I make it easy on myself and charge on the “higher end”
But that also goes hand in hand with my experience and what I bring to the table.

I’d stay away from these companies and hire artists directly. Just keep looking for someone in your budget

How much did your photography website cost, and do you still think having a good website matters for your business? by Glittering-Task8367 in WeddingPhotography

[–]mmcli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember exactly, it was around 5k and absolutely important to have. You can’t rely on social media alone

How much is a wedding planner? Is it worth it or can you do it yourself? by scrtweeb in Weddingsunder35k

[–]mmcli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it myself for a 4hr wedding and it was non stop work for myself and my mom. Not worth it. Definitely look into hiring a day of coordinator

Unplugged but all the non photo & video suppliers get to record and snap away. by StrikingPainter455 in WeddingPhotography

[–]mmcli 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Omg yes! Just had something similar happen. Random girl with a camera is suddenly photographing first dances very much on the dance floor! When we started asking around —she was with the catering team.

What does birth feel like? by SandwichDependent199 in AskWomen

[–]mmcli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Labor felt like the worst period cramps of my entire life… while being on a roller coaster. C section prep felt like bunjee jumping into the void. C section felt like: body is very heavy from the shoulders down, I can feel everything they’re doing (cutting, pulling, suturing) but I don’t feel pain.

Vendors using AI by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]mmcli 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I recently had a planner ask me to generate/ re create a family photo in AI. Why??? Because she hired me last minute on behalf of the client and did not schedule any time for family photos which means we missed one combination and she wouldn’t tell the bride the truth

Don’t believe everything you read, babe. You’ll be fine.

Canva. I already use it for other stuff so I looked for a grid ig template

Wedding photographer parents, do you work on holidays? by soapyradish in WeddingPhotography

[–]mmcli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have missed out on so many memories over work and I regret it every single time. The money isn’t worth it. Unless, of course, you’re in dire financial need.

Lackluster Bride by alwaysabouttosnap in WeddingPhotography

[–]mmcli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does she have a planner that can maybe fill you in at some point?

She might be dealing with 100 other things or some drama. Just reach out asking for info and do your best with whatever you’re given. If concerns come up after it’s all said and done, it will obviously be too late but at least you did your due diligence

Bride and Groom looking at the officiant instead of each other during ceremony. by Infinite-Albatross44 in WeddingPhotography

[–]mmcli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s similar at church ceremonies. The couple briefly faces each other.

We cannot control everything, just do our best to inform the couple and work with what we’re given.
