Feeding your Photographer… The Little Gesture that makes a Big Difference
Hey lovely people, while you’re deep in the world of wedding planning, picking out flowers and finalising that perfect playlist, there’s one small detail that often gets overlooked: feeding your photographer (and videographer, if you have one). I know, it might not seem like a big deal, but trust me, it is—both for you and for us!
It’s Not About Special Treatment
Let’s clear this up straight away: we don’t need to be treated like royalty with a fancy three-course meal. What we do need is a moment to refuel and keep the creative juices flowing. Weddings are long, and as your personal memory capturers, we’re constantly on the go, making sure we don’t miss a single moment. From getting ready in the morning to the final dance, we’re there for it all. Without food? Let’s just say, we can’t bring our A-game without a little energy boost.
Why Packing a Sandwich Doesn’t Cut It
You might wonder, “Can’t you just pack a lunch?” And while that sounds ideal in theory, imagine trying to keep that lunch fresh on a 10+ hour day, or worse, trying to sneak out to the car to eat it. And if your wedding is tucked away in a dreamy, remote location? Forget about finding a nearby deli. That’s why having a warm, quick meal at your event can make all the difference.
Timing is Everything
Here’s where it really counts: the best time to feed us is when you’re eating. Not because we’re VIPs, but because this way we won’t miss a thing. No one really likes photos of themselves mid-bite anyway, so while you’re enjoying your meal, we’ll be refuelling too—ready to jump back into action for those candid moments as soon as the plates are cleared.
A Little Gesture That Makes a Big Difference
It’s simple: a fed photographer is a happy, focused, and creative one. We’re not asking for much, just a little sustenance to keep going strong and capture your day in the most authentic way. So, when you’re planning the details of your day, we’re so grateful if you include a meal for us—it’s a simple gesture that keeps us fuelled to capture the parts of your day that’ll stay with you forever ❤
