Great video.
I shot my first wedding two weeks ago, and it was a great experience. It was an intimate wedding on an apartment [large] terrace, and partially virtual. The brides parents couldn’t make it because they were stuck in Australia due to the pandemic. I take a lot of photos of the bride and groom reacting to seeing her parents. Also I got a few shots of her family and friends on zoom. The grooms parents drove up to NYC, so we made the best of the situation.
This was the perfect wedding to start with, because it was for a friend [the bride] and she was only expecting a few casual images, but I treated the shoot like I didn’t know them, and over delivered. They were very fair and paid me for my work. They insisted on it when I took the job.
I can’t wait to do more. 1 out of …. 😊😊😊😊
For the first wedding you mean you shoot it alone? Or you have assistant/2nd shooter? Just curious
Great insight on your process. Clean lean and mean :) Thanks for the info. Cheers from Greece
Hey Chris, I just started my photography business and your video was very helpful. Thanks a lot!
love the business videos you do, any plans on doing like a wedding master class that goes really in depth?
Thought about it. Just takes so much time, it’s something I’d have to sell
@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer would buy 10/10
Thanks for the video! :) I like the picture, filmed so well! I totally agree with you, a CRM software helps a lot when it comes to client management. I currently use Flowlu and I like that I can just forget about some routine activities because they're automatically performed with Flowlu. It really helps with scheduling, collaboration with freelancers and clients as well. And I like its task and project modules, they’re really handy if you want to keep the information about different projects separate.
Hi Chris! Thanks for all your content. You've helped me substantially in my photography. I noticed you said you send the clients "High Resolution" photos. I was just wondering, do you also offer "Web Size" photos to get around the Instagram and Facebook compression? I always struggle with my clients sharing either Full Resolution files that get compressed and look pixelated (which doesn't represent my work), or they share screenshots...a whole different issue. How do you get around this problem, or do you just let it go? Thanks, again!
Love the look of your square space website! Would you mind sharing what template you used?
Which camera would you recommend for weddings I am tied into Sony lenses.
I currently own the a7ii. Which of the 3 do you recommend a7iv, a7iii, or a7riii?
Question! Do you use google/ FB paid ads or focus on SEO?
Thanks dude, great vid!
is your process the same nowadays ? I see on your website that you don't show your prices, just a starting price.
That’s been a very recent change. Check the podcast on the channel to find out why
Thanks for this info! Great !
Great video. Interesting to hear about how you try and get clients to not edit / ruin your photos and then share them whilst tagging you. I'm a professional photographer (fashion, commercial, event mainly) and my biggest pain is clients doing this allll the time. Pretty hard to stop them really in my experience without coming off badly.
5:20 talks about it being in contract
@@DinkAndDrive Yep, I get that but what I’m saying is in reality clients in my world wouldn’t like it if I started getting fussy with them when they crop my images on their Insta or whatever. It’s a tough balance.
@@ThomBartley ahh gotcha
I usually just untag myself on Insta and leave it alone. It is irritating and I've debated bring it up with clients, but so far I've decided it's not worth it. I have noticed this happens less the more I have raised my prices. I find the more a client values photography, the less likely they are to re-edit my work.
@@dylanjames2213 Yep same although it still happens even with some of my bigger clients. Did a massive campaign for a major fashion company really and expected them not to ruin the photos but hey ho images cropped into squares on Insta it was ha.
