When exploring their boards if I notice a bunch of candid party shots and a wedding board full of action and movement with just a few table shots, I know that this event will be a fun party and candids and character shots are in order. Boards that have tons of table decoration ideas are making a ton effort in the decorating of this event… I will for sure take note and come prepared for that kind of coverage.

After I have had a chance to talk to chat  I love to create my own private Pinterest board with what information that I do know about the couple and the event they are planning. A lot of times I am lucky and I am one of the first vendors hired and the party planning is in its very early stage. This is the best! I LOVE this opportunity. Sometimes I share this board with them depending on where they are in the planning process. The purpose is not to overwhelm them or make them second guess themselves but to make sure we are both on the same page.

I also do this activity to show the photographer who will be shooting it with me to help them to understand the vibes I want to strive for on the day of, the possible colors and the treatment of the imagery. Also to get them excited!

After talking to the bride and looking over her Pinterest boards I was able to confirm the wedding photo vibes she was after.  This shot was set up after the ceremony and it took several shots to get the confetti to be exactly like we wanted 🙂
