Advertising Marketing and SEO

In terms of advertising and business strategy, maintaining a strong social media presence on platforms such as Instagram and Facebook are key. Photographers should use consistent aesthetics, engage through Stories and Reels, collaborate with vendors, and utilize targeted ads.

Building an optimised website with SEO practices, regularly updating blogs, and creating profiles on wedding platforms such as The Knot further enhance visibility. Offering tiered pricing packages ranging from basic to luxury allows flexibility for clients and maximizes profitability.

Insurance and Liabilities

Wedding photographers must also secure necessary insurance coverage, including liability and equipment insurance, to protect against unforeseen incidents and legal issues.

Interpersonal Skills

Throughout the entire wedding photography process, good interpersonal skills and effective communication are essential. They build trust with the couple, manage expectations, and create a comfortable environment, resulting in natural, genuine photos.
