Thanks for your input Obi. No, I don't think your missing anything. There are different types of brides and many different types of photographers. I know many shooters that capture the day using your approach. Because of lighting and situations on a wedding day the odds are greater if you can influence the situation and use your eye to capture or make the light you need for the shot.<br></br>

The following is an example of a posed candid. The client would have not come up with the idea for this situation or know about lighting. Balancing fill with natural. In my eyes this would have been a missed opportunity. From time to time my clients pay and expect me to direct. Much easier to give direction to someone who trusts or feel a bond with you in some way.<br/>

I think I kind of disagree a bit here .... while its generally a great idea for any client to bond with his or her vendors, question is; really how does this help create better wedding photographs?<br></br>
Mind you, I don't have a problem bonding (I normally get brides craking up with laughter with just the first phone call), however I can assure you, this doesnt in anyway aid the quality of the images I produce. In fact the only time I have real interaction with the couple on the day, is during…

Mind you, I don't have a problem bonding (I normally get brides craking up with laughter with just the first phone call), however I can assure you, this doesnt in anyway aid the quality of the images I produce. In fact the only time I have real interaction with the couple on the day, is during the bride and groom portait sessions, which for me depend more on my understanding of light and posing skills. The rest of the day I'm pretty much far away from the couple with my zoom lens.<br/>

Am I missing something, or is this just some overhyped comment?<br/>

Great Post Chris : ) when my husband and I started shooting weddings in 2008, we were so nervous when meeting potential clients that it seemed like we scared them away, and I did not notice what we were doing wrong!? We told ourselves that we just needed to relax and have confidence in ourselves to build a good relationship with these clients, and when we did, there was a great outcome.

It is very good, when photographers love enjoy pleasant minutes of the clients. It is very healthy. Such attitude speaks that you professionals.

I couldn't agree more, Chris! My husband and I are wedding photographers as well and there is never a couple whose wedding day we don't fully enjoy when we have a genuine connection with them. They are comfortable with you, you're comfortable with them and it truly creates the best environment for capturing those genuine moments. Thanks for the post! It is a topic I think many brides will enjoy reading and thinking about.<br />

A relationship needs to be there between photographer and couple, as a photographer i see it as my first job to create that bond / friendship so the couple can relax with me, this allows the couple to be more intimate and create better images.<br />

Amen - that's why branding for photographers is so crucial - the more selective you make your branding (filtering out potential customers that aren't "you") the easier you bond and meet customer expectations.

I agree 100%. Having a confidence through a good bond with your photographer makes you way more comfortable and trusting of them when they take your special day memories into their hands. My best friend did our engagements and I have never felt so safe. You can definitely see the stark contrast when someone you don't trust or know well takes your pictures. You can visually see the difference as well as feel it.
