This week on The Profitable Photographer, I’m joined by the talented and super-fun Jenny Gegg—classically trained photographer, Certified Professional Photographer, Craftsman, and wedding specialist with over 26 years of experience.
Jenny LOVES photographing weddings (her words: “It’s literally the best day of their life, and I get to witness it!”), and she’s built her business around creating an amazing experience for couples. Because as she says, people may forget the exact shots you took, but they’ll always remember how you made them feel.
We dive into Jenny’s top tips for making wedding photography easy, fun, and stress-free—for both you and your clients: Here are a few of her many many tips…
• Build extra time into the wedding day timeline
• Keep calm even if things run late—don’t let them see you sweat
• Make people laugh, especially the groomsmen, and remind the women they’re beautiful
• Consider bringing an assistant to help everything run smoothly
• Keep portraits private—no extra onlookers for first looks or couple portraits
• Be attentive to your couple’s needs (like grabbing them a drink or helping at the buffet)
Jenny also shares how she got into weddings, why learning the parents’ names matters, and why she sometimes prefers photographing people in their homes over the usual park session.
She’s a joy to listen to—and I know you’ll love her energy and practical tips!
