Picking vendors for your wedding day can be both exciting and a bit stressful. We have found that unless brides have helped a friend or sister plan a wedding, they often are not quite sure what to expect when they come to visit with us the first time. This week on the blog, we thought it may be helpful to discuss what couples can expect when they come for an initial consultation with Elegante Light Photography.
Just for fun, we interviewed ourselves!
Q: What does the consultation cost?
A: NOTHING! There is no charge for the initial consultation. Free! Yay!
Q: Why ask couples to come to the Elegante Light Photography studio?
A: The number one reason we ask couples to meet us at our studio is because it is the fastest and best way for a couple to see what we are all about. Photography is an art and each photographer has a unique style and creative expression that manifests in their images. When you are selecting photographers for your wedding, it is important that you like their style and images. Our studio is a reflection of our creative passions, style, and to a great degree, our personalities. Checking it out first-hand helps you decide if we will be a good fit for you.
Q: What should couples bring to the consultation?
A: Anything that will help us get to know you and what you have envisioned for your wedding day. Many brides have a planning binder with magazine clippings, colors, inspirations, dress images, venue photos, etc. This is a wonderful thing to bring to your consultation but don’t fret if you are just getting started and don’t yet have an idea book. A big part of this visit is all about us getting to know each other so while planning books, photos on your phone, or Pinterest boards are wonderful, they are not necessary.
Q: What will we talk about?
A: In addition to getting to know each other and discussing your thoughts on how your wedding day will go, we will do our best to describe to you what you can expect from us before, day of, and after your wedding. Our goal is to answer all your questions and remove any mysteries around what it would be like to work with us as your wedding photographers! We will go over our packages, pricing, what products we offer, and when you can expect to receive them. You will have the chance to look through our real wedding albums, watch a real wedding slideshow, and see samples of different choices in wall art and other products that we offer.
Q: How do couples reserve their wedding date with Elegante Light Photography?
A: Couples can reserve their date at the initial consultation with a deposit. Elegante Light Photography only books one wedding per day so that we can give each couple our best. If you love us (and we hope you will), don’t wait to book your special day!
Q: What happens next?
A: If you did not reserve your date with us at your consultation, you will receive an email quote with the package options we discussed during the consultation. Simply select the option best for you and place your deposit with us following the online links to hold your date. From there, the real fun starts and we will get busy working with you to create a photography plan perfect for you!
We truly hope the above has removed some of the mystery of what to expect at an initial consultation with Elegante Light Photography and look forward to visiting with you soon!
Happy planning!
