If you can do something to help guide them through that, you’ll be a trusted partner in their wedding planning process. This is invaluable. 
 
A wedding guide is such a simple way to provide your couple with added value that extends well beyond the photos. It will cover every stage of the wedding process, not just those you are directly involved in.

And they will be so touched that you care enough to look out for their overall needs.
 
Being a wedding photographer is not just about producing amazing work. It’s about helping a couple achieve the best possible memento of an incrediblspecial day. A wedding guide will help you – and your couple – do just that.

We’ve all had those shoots where it seems everything’s against us. The lighting’s off. The couple is stressed. The expectations are all wrong. Although on paper it looks like you have everything you need, potentially awesome session has turned into a headache because small details accumulated into less-than-ideal circumstances for your shoot. 
 
A wedding guide will help to eliminate those sticky issues. You can use the guide to help your couple make the best choices to set the day up for incredible images. From how to pick a location with favorable lighting for the getting ready, to setting expectations for the timeline of the day, you will be able to actively influence things to set the day up for success.
 
You know better than anyone that small tweaks can have a huge impact on the overall quality of the work you’re able to produce. Sending a wedding guide will help you to subtly guide your couple to optimise your chances of creating your most beautiful work yet.

Because A Wedding Guide Will Help Couples Achieve The Day Of Their Dreams 

Great wedding photographers are truly passionate about not just documenting a beautiful day, but helping couples to achieve their dreams.

A wedding guide will help you to do just that.

By taking each part of the planning process, a wedding guide will demystify all of‘ the unknowns’ for your couple. It will make sure they know all of the things they should be thinking about so that they can plan their wedding stress-free. Ultimately, this will help them to achieve the day as they imagined it would be.

There’s nothing more upsetting for a couple than realising too late that they forgot to consider something. Or worse, that they made a choice which will negatively affect their day.

You can help to minimize that risk with a wedding guide. It’s such a simple touch but it will have such a huge impact on the experience your couple has overall. Equip your couples with all the knowledge they need for an unforgettable wedding day, and they will love you for it.

Because You Want To Take Your Business To The Next Level

With so many things to organise as a solo creative, finding ways to elevate your business is tough. But sending your couples a wedding guide will help to truly set you apart from the crowd. It will allow you to establish yourself as a wedding photographer who goes above and beyond for their couples, and this is the kind of thing that gets people talking.

Wedding photographers are so dependent on word-of-mouth recommendations. Gifting a wedding guide will actively encourage people to talk about their amazing experience working with you. Your bride might even bring it to her next ladies night, showing it around or loaning it out to a friend who just got engaged – what an amazing way to be found by potential clients. Priceless!
