How do post-wedding photographers work nowadays?
As you may well know, wedding photographers have a hectic pace at weddings. They can’t miss a moment, they have to be very discreet and they also have to be experienced enough to capture their particular stamp of identity in every photograph they take on the big day. Covering a wedding is like taking part in a sporting competition, you can’t relax for a minute.
For this reason, it is very useful for this type of photographers to take advantage of the extra features such as the pre-wedding and post-wedding to take a series of photographs that are much more careful in terms of composition, lighting and preparation of both the scene and the couples. To make a good post-wedding reportage it is important that the photographers do not leave any detail to improvisation. Because in order to make this type of session more attractive for today’s bride and groom, post-wedding photographers must first define very well how they want to approach them.
And to help you shape them, we are going to discuss with you a series of points that you can leave ready before the wedding season starts and that many post-wedding photographers are already organising right now. But first we are going to share with you a very interesting article with some more tips.

Define the photographic style of the post-wedding photographs you want to offer
Even if you are a wedding photographer defined by a totally natural and photojournalistic style, we know that you have creativity inside you. That’s why you can take advantage of these types of photo shoots after the wedding to let your creativity run wild and create images with a much greater visual impact.
Suggest to the bride and groom a style of post-wedding photography that is totally different to what you will take on their wedding day and show them how interesting and fun this style of photo shoot can be.
Find a number of charming locations for your post-wedding celebrations
Look around your town for places that are more special where you can take couples for these photo shoots. You can also do some number crunching and see if you can offer a destination post-wedding shoot, this type of shoot can be a fantastic wedding gift for many couples if you know how to offer it.
You can also consider looking for locations totally opposite to the ones the bride and groom will have on their wedding day, this way, the wedding album will be much more varied and fun.
Organise the pre-wedding shoot to cover the best daylight hours of the day
When planning your pre-wedding photography, you can try to take some of the photographs at dawn, dusk and in many locations even at night thanks to good artificial lighting. The important thing is that you can play with contrasts and try to create a series of post-wedding photographs that are different from those of the wedding day.
Explain to couples what post-wedding photo shoots are like
A wedding photographer has to know the best way to sell this type of photo shoot, because in most cases photographers focus on promoting weddings, this is quite logical, it is the main product, but it is also important to create some kind of publications that encourage couples to hire this type of extra sessions. Think that many of the couples will not know what kind of photographs they will be able to get in the post-wedding sessions or they will not even consider how relaxed they can be on their wedding day without having the pressure of doing a photo shoot alone.
That’s why it’s important that you use your photography blog to create a series of very specific articles where couples can read what a post-wedding session with you is like. With this we are not encouraging you to publish a handful of photos of this type of reportage on your blog as a gallery, but to go a step further and explain to your readers how you organise these sessions and, most importantly, all the advantages for a couple to book this session after the wedding.
You can also create posts on social media talking only about post-weddings, take advantage of the off-peak months to create your next posts and schedule them for a few months before the peak wedding season. Another idea is to create galleries on the website exclusively for post-weddings so that clients can appreciate the difference with your wedding photos.
There are many ideas, the important thing is that you choose the ones that best suit you and put them into practice to achieve even more post-wedding reports during the next season.
