What is the work of post-wedding photographers like?

As we were saying before, wedding photographers go at a hectic pace at weddings. They can’t miss a moment, they have to be discreet and they also have to have enough experience to capture their particular stamp of identity in every photograph they take. And the truth is that covering a wedding is like going to a sporting competition, you can’t relax for a minute.

For this reason, this type of photographers take advantage of the extra features such as the pre-wedding and post-wedding to take much more careful photographs in terms of composition, lighting and preparation of the couples. To make a good post-wedding reportage it is important that photographers do not leave any detail to improvisation. Because in order to “sell” this type of session to today’s bride and groom, you first have to define very well how you want to approach it.

Here are a few things you can leave ready before the wedding season starts that many post-wedding photographers do:

Photographic style

Even if you are a wedding photographer with a natural, photojournalistic style, we know that you have creativity inside you, so you can take advantage of this type of session to let it fly and create images with a much greater visual impact.

Charming corners

Look around your town for more special places where you can take couples. You can also run the numbers and see if you can offer a destination post-wedding, this type of photo shoot can be a fantastic wedding gift for many couples if you know how to offer it.

Lighting

You can try taking photographs at dawn, dusk and in many locations even at night thanks to good lighting. The important thing is to play with contrasts and try to create post-wedding photographs that are different from those of the wedding day.

These are just 3 examples of how you can create a unique post-wedding reportage. In the following article we give you a few more.

Tips to make your post-wedding sessions a success for couples

In addition to all the recommendations that we have just given you, a wedding photographer has to know how to sell this type of reportage. We see that in most cases photographers focus on promoting weddings, this is logical, it is your 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 at the post-wedding or even consider how relaxed they can be on the day without having the pressure of a photo shoot alone.

That’s why it’s important that you use your photography blog to create very specific articles where couples can read what a post-wedding session with you is like. With this we are not encouraging you to upload a handful of photos of this type of reportage to the blog as a gallery, but we encourage you 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 hire this session after the wedding.

You can also create posts on networks 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 of the wedding season.

Another idea is to create galleries on the web 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 next season.
