These are my top 10 tips for successful wedding client consultation meeting. This time of year, I’m meeting lots of brides and grooms and sometimes that happens over skype. These same tips apply even to a virtual skype meeting. You still want to have samples of your work, dress professionally, and follow up the right way. ☺

I was so nervous during my first meetings, I just started this year, booked 5 out of 5 meetings. I quickly realised that it's all about personality and professionalism. The couple already knows my prices, my portfolio, they just want to know I'm a normal person :) just that realisation makes it so much easier :)

@Joymichelle 7 лет назад

+Ruudsosalsa yes!! Congrats! Keep up the awesome Work! :)

@brittanywilliams6039 7 лет назад

Hi Joy! I love this video (all your videos actually!) and I would love to see a video on what comes before the consulation. From inital contact to booking the meeting. I am wondering if you email back and forth some, have a phone call, or do you try to book an in person meeting as quickly as possible? I love when you share your thinking behind every thing you do!

@Joymichelle 7 лет назад

Thanks so much, Brittany! Have you checked out my Wedding Workflow Series? I thank more in-depth about the process of consultation/booking. Feel free to let me know if that didn't cover it

@MichelleCoxPhotography 6 лет назад

Consultations are rough when you are starting out so this is a great video topic! :)

@ramsitrout9560 5 лет назад

Can you do a video about how to write proposals? Maybe an example of one too? I'm just not fully understanding anything on the internet. BTW, I love your videos and aspire to be you! I'm currently watching all your videos!!! ❤

@Joymichelle 6 лет назад

Thank you!!!!

@p_guru5838 4 года назад

Great video. What if you're new to the industry and don't have any weddings to show? I have worked in the wedding and event industry for years, but am now starting my own wedding coodination business.

@Joymichelle 4 года назад

If you can, try to assist another coordination business that will let you use them as a reference and the images for your portfolio. You can also offer to plan an event for friends, family, or a business to get the images to use!

@danielle3063 7 лет назад

Hi Joy, If you meet at a coffee shop do you typically buy a coffee for the clients? Or is it okay to just buy yourself a coffee to use the space? Thanks, love your videos! :)

@Joymichelle 7 лет назад

Hi Danielle! I do offer to buy most times. If I arrive long before them I sometimes grab myself something and sit down. I think it's ok to buy yourself a coffee for the use of the space though. Thanks for watching and good luck at your meetings!

@perfectphotography8976 6 лет назад

Mam, thanks for your excellent tutorials. Please advise...who should pay the bills for the coffeshop...clients or myself?

@Joymichelle 6 лет назад

THanks! sometimes I pay for both, but if I arrive early I will get mine and wait until they arrive to offer to buy theirs.

@Image-i-nationCoUk 7 лет назад

About what percentage of meetings do you think you would book? Also when do they book? There at the meeting or maybe days and weeks later? Subscribed x

@nickpeters1990 7 лет назад

Image-i-Nation Photography would love to know also.

@FM-ny7xh 7 лет назад

Hello Joy! Have you ever done a topic on how to work / coordinate with a wedding planner?

@Joymichelle 7 лет назад

+Fina Makpolo I haven't yet! What would your questions be? I can cover this

@FM-ny7xh 7 лет назад

Hello Joy! Thank you for your prompt response. All the weddings that I have planned and attended as a guest I felt like the photographers knew what and how to cover the important moments of a wedding but also that I could see that they missed guidance. As a wedding planner I attend most of the meetings with the photographer, I am the one programming the wedding day timeline and the photographer timeline as well. Together we do pre visit of all the venues (ceremony and reception if different) Mainly to check the light at a particular time of the day. Once to get better pictures, we even suggested to change the time of the wedding and the client followed our suggestion. Sometimes I go to engagement shoots as well ( I bring all the necessary props) If a wedding guest is trying to pull away the photographer from shooting what she/he needs to shoot, I am the one trying to ensure that everything goes smoothly. Partucurlaly with mixed couples having different culture or faith. The photographer doesn't always know all the traditions involved. Well I work in Africa and the way wedding photography is perceived might be different. In some countries we are willing to learn and improve our skills. Having said that the QUESTION IS: do you ask your clients if they have a wedding planner or wedding coordinator? If they have how do you work with the coordinator before the wedding and on the wedding day? Do you follow your own agenda or sometimes you need a bit of direction from a designated person from the family or from the wedding planner? I hope it's not a silly question... 😉Thank you for your feedback. FINA

@gabbybishop3452 5 лет назад

This video was great! But how do you convince someone to come get a cup of coffee with you 😂

@Joymichelle 5 лет назад

I offer the meeting after they inquire to see if we will be a good fit and learn more about their wedding - brides love to meet up because it’s best for us both to decide if we will work well together :)

@FM-ny7xh 7 лет назад

Hello Michelle. Great tips even for wedding planners like me. Sorry I did not managed to grab my free copy. Kindly resend link. Thanks & Hugs from South Africa

@FM-ny7xh 7 лет назад

Got it! My apologies

@Joymichelle 7 лет назад

+Fina Makpolo glad to hear it worked for you!

@mijalibarbagallo4124 5 лет назад

Hey Joy, how long does it take you for a normal interview with your clients?

@Joymichelle 5 лет назад

Hey! About 20-30 mins typically!

@sabrinamariemedia 6 лет назад

Hi Joy, I am having the hardest time building my brand. Any suggestions?

@Joymichelle 6 лет назад

Your brand identity or overall brand as a whole? I will be making a resource on this in 2018!! Be sure to joint he fb group PhotoBoss and the mailing list to get updates. :)

@sabrinamariemedia 6 лет назад

My overall brand. This is awesome. Thank you much!

@taylorcoloka 7 лет назад

Can you clarify what you send in your proposal after the meeting? Thanks!!

@Joymichelle 7 лет назад

sure, so depending on if they have selected a package in the meeting or not I will send an agreement with the 1 collection or a brochure with a collection to choose. basically I give them the next step in the booking process so they're not left wondering what's next. does that answer your question?

@TaylorGunter 7 лет назад

YEP! Thanks so much!

@Joymichelle 7 лет назад

You're welcome :)

@cassimullins6079 6 лет назад

How soon would you say you should send the "thank you" email after the consultation?

@Joymichelle 6 лет назад

1 or 2 days

@ewasterczewski-sellingthee3996 6 лет назад

what if you do not have any portfolio because you are just starting up as a new planner?

@Joymichelle 6 лет назад

Hi there. You’ll need some portfolio to showcase. Even if that’s parties you did, or a styled shoot. Think about how you can showcase your skills and ease their minds even if you’re new. What experience DO you have?
