The first fact about wedding photographers
The most important aim of any wedding photographer is to know and feel the couple he/she is going to work with. That is why your photographer will necessarily offer you to get a pre-wedding shoot, also known as a love story shoot. It helps not only the photographer to get acquainted with you, your nature, preferences and style, but also to make the couple get used to the photographer's presence with the camera, their voice and requests. It's basically a rehearsal before the wedding day for you not to be stressed and confused by an unknown person following you during the whole day. Remember, the photographer`s main task is to become your friend, at least for this period. Though, many couples continue keeping in touch with their wedding photographer even after the celebration is already finished as they become really close during this time. So, apparently, there are many reasons to trust this person even when you will feel unnatural or embarrassed while posing. This person is a professional who can pose naturally even if it doesn't seem so. Trust your wedding photographer and let him/her fully control the photoshoot to create something beautiful.
The second fact about wedding photographers
The next fact derives from the previous one and points out the importance of being a good psychologist to be a perfect photographer. In addition to it, well-trained soft skills are highly needed. It is well known that the wedding is quite a nervous day not only for a couple or their families, but also for the wedding vendors, coordinators and catering. And it is a big day for wedding photographers as well who are working closely with all the guests at the celebration. They have to be good at relationship building to make everyone feel comfortable while taking photos. Additionally, the wedding photographer has to be ready to provide emotional support in alleviating last minute nerves of the newlyweds or their parents. In general, photographers know how to solve any problem very fast in that hectically paced environment. Moreover, don't forget that wedding photographers are to be sharp during the whole celebration. It means 10+ hours straight of full control, focus and pressure as there is limited time to capture those unforgettable moments.

The third fact about wedding photographers

So, the work after the wedding is just the beginning.
