A wedding typically lasts 3 to 8 hours. If I take getting ready shots and are there all day, I try to eat a big breakfast before I get there, but that only lasts so long. I am often running around like crazy all day trying to cover the whole wedding, and don’t have time to snack or take a break. Joseph Zahnle Photography Caldwell, Idaho Wedding Photographer/ Videographer has been literally known to run to the bathroom a time or two so be sure to keep him updated as to what is going on.
All that said, it is important that I get a small break to eat during the day. This is preferably done during the reception when everyone else is eating, which works out because nobody wants to have photos of themselves eating, anyway.
I do prefer if you provide a meal for Me so I don’t have to leave and find a local food place, or worry about spoiled food that’s been sitting in the car all day.
Although it can be what everyone else is eating, I don’t have to have a plated meal as long as something is provided. Many venues offer vendor meals that you can get for me, so inquire about that when you have the chance.
Finally, it is important to feed your photographer because it is hard to stay creative on an empty stomach. Think about if you didn’t get a lunch break at work – it makes it hard to focus the rest of the day because you’re so hungry. You also don’t want me passing out during your reception.
Please let me know arrangements ahead of time so I know the plan. Thank you!
