It I love the fact that photography allows me to travel. I love the travel with my clients so much that I have invented a new product. Honeymoon photography!
If you can think back and imagine the first wedding photographers. Their cameras, more than likely only held one piece of film. What do you suppose that shot was taken of? I think it would be safe to assume that it would be an image of the wedding ceremony, or a formal family portrait. I think it would also he safe to assume that photographers quickly realized what each additional photograph they created came with it additional opportunity for larger sales.
And so it went. Photographers expanded their wedding photography services to include the reception. Bridal and Engagement Portraits more than likely followed soon after.
So there you have it. Wedding photographers, for quite sometime now have been expected to photograph pre-ceremony images, ceremony images, formal family portraits, and the reception to follow.
I have a saying, “100% of the images I do not take, will not sell”. In my mind if photographers are to continue to expand their wedding photography services, they must find additional things to photograph. And while it would seem logical that the honeymoon would be the next area to expand into, as it turns out this was not the case. For the past 2 years now a new form of photography has swept the country, that being “trash the dress” sessions.
Honeymoon photography is the final frontier for wedding photographers! It’s time has come, and if you would like to learn how I am accomplishing this, then I would suggest you attend my next workshop.
The image contained in this post has taken 72 hours after the couple’s wedding in Venice, Italy.
