This must be read for professional photographers or those who want to be learnt how to be a professional.

In this article I wrote about some common regulations that wedding photographers should follow. Be Professional, Be Early, Dress Properly, Check equipment before arriving, and initiate yourself upon arrival.

Here are some rules that wedding photographers should follow:

Be familiar with the car routes for the day. The photographer is supposed to know the routes of the limos in advance. The processions can be belated for any number of reasons and then take off abruptly. They usually do not ask if the photographer is prepared. It is still a good idea to drive the routes previous to the wedding day especially if the photographer is not familiar with the area. You don't would like to people ask what happens' to the photographer.

Set best spots to take pictures. Formerly at the church or reception hall, the photographer should compose a quick determination of the best positions to get the necessary shots. This way he can forever be in a good spot to get the required shots with no interfering with any proceedings.

Put into practice crowd control. Sometimes, the wedding party will illustrate a crowd at the same time as they are being photographed. For instance, after the marriage when the formal photos are being taken. Guests will run to get pictures of the immense set ups by the photographer. Unfortunately, sometimes in their enthusiasm, they will catch in the way. The photographer ought to be polite in appealing guests to clear the way so he can get the shots he wants. This would be a good time to put your name up the services of the wedding planner or the person you previously asked to help guide you, during the events. Remember, an impolite photographer will be unable to find referrals.

Don't sit down and eat. That is unless you are requested to do so by an authorized person. Even if you do something, make it fast because you don't want to miss amazing happening that you were not expecting.

Limit meet people and stay away from the bar. Be real and keep it short and sweet. If they are impressed by your services, give them your business card or take their phone number so you can speak with them longer in the future. They will understand that you are working. Any movement towards the bar should only be for a non alcoholic beverage. You don't want to show them that you are partying and not working.

Let the Bride and Groom recognize that you are leaving. While things are winding up, check with the bride and groom and ask them that any shots they want that you might not have taken. This will inform them that you did a complete job and they won't be dissatisfied once you have left.
