One thing that has lasted long after the start of the 2020 pandemic is the ease of virtual meetings. Wedding photography businesses have been able to continue to grow and thrive by using the technology of Zoom to connect with clients. As virtual assistants for wedding photographers, it’s been such a pleasure to help our clients schedule various appointments with the ease of this app. Here’s how Zoom can change your wedding photography business.

Virtual Wedding Photography Client Consultations

First and foremost: the ease of consultations is changed forever because of Zoom. Engage directly with your wedding photography clients without having to meet them in person. No more coffee shop meetups after 6:30PM on weekdays. You can cozy up at home instead! Easily have your clients schedule their meetings with you via Zoom.

Discuss Timelines with Wedding Couples Over Zoom

Later on in the process, you’ll need to discuss shot list and timeline. Zoom is great because you can share your screen and go through your timeline document together. You can also review the shot list all together to make sure everyone’s on the same page. It’s great to be able to have virtual calls without dealing with phone calls, paper schedules, and so on.

Collaborate with Other Vendors via Zoom Before the Wedding

You may want to have a discussion with your couple’s planner, videographer, or DJ prior to the big day. Reach out and schedule your meeting via Zoom. It’s a great tool to be able to establish personable connections. You’ll be able to communicate and know their faces ahead of the big day. Understanding the team you’re working with can be a game-changer during an event.

Remote Editing and Retouching Sessions

If you work with an editor for your wedding photography business, Zoom is a great option to have a private editing session. There may be certain things you need to communicate about a wedding day. If the lighting was strange at the venue or if one parent refused to smile, make your editor aware of this over your Zoom call.

Virtual Wedding Photo Gallery Presentation via Zoom

Personalize your wedding photography delivery with a presentation via Zoom. This is also a great way to discuss print options, album options, and any other post-wedding upsell ideas. You can share the gallery and play music, establishing a personal connection. Make your client feel like they are in the room with you.

Design Albums Virtually with Your Clients

Instead of waiting on your couples to make album selects, design virtually with them over Zoom. It’s the perfect way to spare yourselves hours of emailing back and forth. Do a live design session, or even just a selection session. You can offer feedback to your couple that is valuable, and they can provide any real-time design changes.

Use Zoom to Improve Your Wedding Client Experience

It’s so important to us as VAs for wedding photographers that our clients have a great experience for their couples. That’s why we love to come up with ideas that make your brand more personable and engaging. Reach out to our team to discuss how we can improve your marketing and client experience.
