When couples ask me to attend and photograph their rehearsal and/or welcome dinners, I get soooo excited! Here’s a few reasons I love photographing these moments on top of the wedding day:
- I get to meet my couple’s most inner circle and build rapport with them before the wedding day. This really helps everyone who has already met me feel more comfortable and familiar with me and trust me more.
- If my clients chose not do an engagement session with me (which is about 50% of my booked couples for next year), this gives me a chance to meet them face to face the night before! Again, this really helps to builds trust and rapport before such a big day.
- The fashion!! I love getting to see and photograph couples in the outfits they chose for the night before. The “night before” dress always deserves a moment.
- You get “bonus” couple photos! It’s so nice to pull the soon to be newlyweds and have a mini photo session opportunity. This aids in telling the story of the whole weekend and gives them even more variety in their couples photos!
- The toasts! The toasts at welcome dinners are always more intimate because you have an extra special group of people in attendance.
I also personally love getting out a little sneak from the welcome dinner to the couple to see and enjoy the morning of their wedding to really build the excitement for the special day ahead!!
