Two Things I Look For When Connecting With a Potential Client
As a wedding photographer, each new couple I meet brings a unique story and vision for their big day. Building a connection with potential clients is essential not only for creating beautiful images but also for ensuring that their experience is as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. Here are two key things I look for when connecting with a potential client:
Two Key Things I Look for When Connecting with a Potential Client
1. Genuine Connection and Trust
First and foremost, I believe that a genuine connection is vital. Trust plays a significant role in how comfortable couples feel during their photography sessions, especially on such an emotional day. I look for signs that we can connect on a personal level—whether it's through shared interests, laughter during our conversation, or simply an understanding of each other’s values.
When couples feel they can trust me, they are more likely to relax and be themselves in front of the camera. This authenticity shines through in the photos, resulting in images that truly capture their love and joy. I want to create a space where couples feel safe to express their emotions, knowing that I’ll be there to document their genuine moments.
2. Clear Vision and Communication
The second thing I look for is a clear vision of what the couple wants for their wedding photography. Every couple has a unique style, preferences, and ideas about how they want their love story told. I appreciate when clients can articulate their vision, whether it’s a specific theme, the type of shots they admire, or how they envision their day unfolding.
Good communication is key in this process. I encourage couples to share their thoughts, ideas, and even concerns. This open dialogue helps me understand their expectations and allows me to tailor my approach to fit their needs. When we’re on the same page, it makes for a smoother planning process and ultimately results in a collection of images that aligns with their vision.
