007: HOW A PHOTOGRAPHER SEES A WEDDING VENUE WITH MARIROSA ANDERSON

 

You may remember back in Episode 4 a few weeks ago, we chatted with Natalie Seng of Designed Perfectly Events all about how planners see venues and what they look for on behalf of their clients. Today, I am excited to take that idea a little bit further and talk about what photographers think about venues!

Why does this matter to you? You may hear some ideas of simple things you can do to improve the appearance and presentation of your spaces. Most venue owners love to see images from photographers after the wedding day so that we can showcase all that we have to offer. Wouldn’t it be great if those photographers can better use our venues and settings to make us look even more amazing in those photos? Today’s guest, Marirosa Anderson from Photography by Marirosa, will share her thoughts on how to provide the best photography experience for the venue, photographer, and of course the couple!
