Saving your memories for the day that you have dreamed of since you were young is an important thing so you have to make sure that you hire a good photographer. Uploading some of them on your accounts on the internet will show your friends how the day has passed, and they will see them on some of them as well, keeping a good memory for themselves. However, the best people to capture your moments can be pricey sometimes, and you will have to negotiate with them to be able to hire them.
Not being able to get the best person for this job might leave you frustrated because you had planned before that you will get the best photos of that day, and you think that he is the only one who is able to work with you on that day.
In this article, we will talk about some ways that you should practice when you try to secure your photographer and to make sure that you don’t do something that might offend them.
Talk with them in person
The easiest way to get a deal with someone is to talk with them in person. That way, you will not have to wait for them to respond, or have to talk on the phone in vain. When you meet them, talk to them what are your plans and they will tell you their opinion on that situation, and if they are able to perform that without problems. Since you have already met them, they will be easier to convince to work with you, if you are a pleasant person for that because it is not the same when you talk on the phone or through messages and when you meet up in person.
Explain why you want them
When you talk to a wedding videographer about what you expect them to do, you are basically trying to make your wedding interesting to them, so they have more enthusiasm working with you. You have to keep in mind that when they agree to your day, they are working for you as much as they are working for themselves because the product is serving as an advertisement to them as well. Make sure that you explain your plan well, and that you have an interesting idea behind that so they agree.
Be cool with them
From the moment you reaching out to the photographer, until the end, you have to be good with them because that is how people determine whether they want to work with you or not. If you are being rude, no matter the offer that you are going to give them, they will reject you. However, you should practice this in general, not only when you need something done.
Explain to them what are you able to spend for that
The most important thing of the whole conversation is to tell the photographer how much you are able to spend on that job. You should be transparent about that because if they like the project, they might accept a price that is lower than what they usually want.
Don’t try to low ball them
The best way to get them to reject you is to try and lowball them. That way they will be offended and will not want to spend their time working for someone who doesn’t appreciate what are they doing. Be clear with them about what you have, and you will have higher chances.
