Consulting with the Couple

If you’ve decided that your policy is to allow your couple to choose the images to go into the wedding album or to make any revisions to a predesigned album (see the preceding section for more about these options), the first step in the design process is a consultation with the couple. Unfortunately, sometimes this step can be long and drawn out, because most of the time the last thing newlyweds want to do after the honeymoon is to sit down and pick out a bunch of pictures! Photographers often have to wait six months to a year after the wedding before receiving their clients’ album selections.

To avoid the delay (and frustration) this scenario can cause, the communication with your couple regarding the image selection for the album should start in the months leading up to the wedding, preferably when you meet with them for the signing of the contract (see Chapter 1). That way you’ll be able to explain to them in detail how the selection process will work, instead of springing the news to them in an e-mail two days after they’ve returned from their honeymoon. If you established some groundwork beforehand, when you do contact them after the wedding, it will simply be as a reminder that you need their image selections in order to begin the album design. Here are a few tips to consider when reaching out to your couple:
