4 Ways to get better wedding day photos and videos
You’ve likely only met your wedding photographer or videographer briefly during an initial consult meeting. That might have been enough time to get a vibe for their personality, but the only true way to build that relationship with your photographer and videographer is by working with them at least once before your wedding day. Think about it. Would you buy your wedding cake without tasting it? Have your hair and makeup done without a trial run first? I’m sure you even tried your attire on first before committing to it for the big day. Right? All of those experiences build trust and help you to relax and actually enjoy your memory making day.

Testing them out prior to your wedding day with an engagement shoot (or family shoot) will give you insight into their method, their personality, and really give you all sometime to connect and break the ice.
