Hello friends, good start of the week, how

are you doing?

As always, I want to thank everyone for

being there and for your support.

Well, here we are, preparing everything for this

Saturday.

The truth is that we started the season,

finally, in Spain.

We had a wedding on March 27 in

Colombia, but well, that was like an oasis

in the desert, but now you can say

that the big thing starts, right?

Well, let's hope it can be done.

The truth is that the grooms are super

convinced that they are going to get married

and in fact we even have to do

an antigen test before starting to photograph, so

that, well, so that everything is clear, right?

Well, so that everything is clear, so that

more or less everyone is safe.

And in fact, not only by the photographers,

but videographers and all the rest of the

suppliers, including guests, that antigen test is going

to be done.

But hey, in today's video I don't want

to talk to you about antigens or anything

like that, but I want to talk to

you about something more important than all this,

since at least in Spain or in Europe,

and I know that many of you are

starting or are going to start soon with

the wedding season, so we thought it might

be interesting for us to share with you

something that we usually do at all weddings,

especially we started taking a type of photos

at the end of 2019 and last year,

with the few weddings we had, we continued

to incorporate it and this year we are

going to do it.

Before I talk about what photos we take

at each wedding and such, I would like

to tell you that in addition to the

beautiful photos you take, of how nice you

are and all these things, in addition to

beautiful photos, I mean, the wedding photographers, we

should provide a great experience.

I mean, for the grooms who are going

to get married, it is not only about

preparing a beautiful wedding or enjoying an incredible

day, but it is about creating an experience

and that is what the wedding is about.

Let's never forget that this business, luckily or

unfortunately, is an emotional business.

I mean, everything is linked to the feelings,

to what you feel, to all those things

that are not only, in short, as I

tell you, in our aspect of taking good

photos, but to provide a round experience to

the couple, to our future clients, and that

is what this is going to be about

today.

I mean, with all this, there are a

thousand ways to provide an experience to the

clients who are going to hire us, from

the moment of the first email, until the

interview, until perhaps the bouquet of flowers that

we can give to the bride the day

before, which we have done, or other types

of things that throughout this entire career, or

your career, you have done so that your

clients say, damn, this guy, this girl, not

only takes incredible photos, but also, damn, look

how he has worked, look at the details

he has had with us, and that is

going to condition the mouth to mouth that

it continues to work.

Because let's not forget, the seo can work,

Instagram can work, paying on Facebook can work,

but what is going to work the most,

as everyone knows, is that those boyfriends speak

perfectly about us to their friends, so that

those friends, in the end, in the future,

who knows, can get to hire us.

But hey, we could talk about a thousand

aspects about how to create an experience for

future boyfriends, but I want to focus on

a type of photos, as I have told

you, that we usually do.

In addition, this type of photos allows me

to be active in moments that, at least

in Spain, nothing usually happens.

And I'm talking about the moment that the

ceremony is over, we have already finished with

the external report, and we are already in

the same cocktail.

We have also finished remembering all those family

photos, okay?

So we are a little free, or with

more time, in addition to stealing a croquette,

a waiter or a soda, a waiter, we

will have time, or we should have time,

as it is logical, to continue working, right?

To create that experience.

And for a couple of years, what we

have been doing is that when we have

been a little free, what we usually do

is, and this is true, is to take

the parents of the bride first and make

them a portrait.

Believe us, it may seem silly.

Yes, the parents of the bride, and no

longer with the grooms, but to make a

couple portrait of the parents of the bride

and the parents of the groom, of course.

What do I mean by this?

That at the moment of the cocktail, it

is then when we are a little free,

it is Erika or me, we are going

to go, for example, to the parents of

the bride and we are going to tell

them how the day is going, how everything

works.

I mean, we are going to start a

little conversation first and secondly, what we are

going to do is ask them that if

they care, we make them a portrait.

In 100% of the cases, they always

tell us but us?

And I tell him, well, you are the

parents of the bride, right?

And they laugh, of course, we are going

to take a picture because surely your daughter

will want to have them with a beautiful

photo.

Oh, oh, oh, this photographer, how attentive, oh,

oh, oh, how beautiful.

I mean, those little things, those silly things,

those things that seem like they are not

important, really in the future they will be,

because after having taken those photographs of the

parents of the groom, of the sister of

the bride, of whatever, the people around, or

we even usually catch the four friends, for

example, of the groom, that we have already

found out who they are, because, well, our

job is to find out who is who.

We are going to photograph them too.

That set of details adds up and believe

us that the day after the wedding, and

I tell you from experience because I have

been married, okay?

The day after the wedding, your parents, or

the parents of the bride or the groom,

when they are reunited with the grooms, they

tell us a little bit about how everything

was, how the food was, how the party

was, some anecdote that happened because a handsome

friend drank too much, ceremonies, I mean, anecdotes

are told and believe me that at that

moment the figure of the photographer appears.

Photographers, it may seem that no one is

looking at us, but believe us that at

times we are the center of attention and

it is not that they are attentive to

us, but they realize that we are there

because we are there all day with the

couple.

And the day after, or the coming days,

it is usually said, fuck the photographers, they

did not stop moving, hey, but how nice,

and then it is usually heard, well, they

were very nice, because your father and me,

the photographer came and asked us for a

photo posing, and the bride says, then, a

photo of you?

Yes, yes, she also told me that she

would include it for the gallery.

Hey, how nice.

Those words are recorded in the subconscious of

the grooms and make their experience round with

you, as it will be with the maître,

with the disjockey, with the videographer, with the

one of the flowers, with all those suppliers

that we circulate around.

And beware, because if we have not been

in a very correct comment, or we have

not worked well, or we have been seen

that we have not worked hard, that will

come out.

Oh, the photographer, I do not know, I

do not know how your photos will come

out.

That moment that a bride or a groom

listens, I mean, I do not know how

your photos will come out.

That is the worst experience you can give

to a groom.

Do you understand me?

That's why I'm telling you this.

It may seem like a bullshit, a nonsense,

but I assure you that it is not,

and that it has not worked anymore.

And the grooms have asked us, hey, do

not forget to include that portrait that you

did for my parents.

I mean, that is extremely important for them.

And in the cocktail, I do not know.

In countries, or in the rest of Europe,

or in the rest of the world.

But in Spain, sometimes, in the cocktail, or

in the reception, sometimes, it does not usually

happen much.

I mean, people are drinking, they are talking,

they are, well, pecking something.

I mean, they do not usually give us

incredible photos.

And that's a good time to stay active.

To force me to say, okay, let's keep

taking a few photos so as not to

come down.

Because if people are already starting to stop,

and I start to stop, I'm going to

come down.

Like at dinner, I'm always going to worry

about being always up.

I try to have dinner, whatever it is,

even if it's a sandwich, even if it's

something.

In fact, Erica and I always carry energy

bars in our backpack, in case we may

not have dinner.

We try to eat fast to stay active.

Like in the cocktail, we try to stay

active with that kind of photos, at dinner

too.

And we're going to try to capture some

kind of photos, like people talking, laughing, for

example, talking, whatever.

But the function is to always stay active,

okay?

And then, I've gone off topic, I've gone

off topic, sorry, to provide some more experience

to the boyfriends, and I've told you, that

there are a multitude of ways.

And surely you have many, like sending photos

the next day, as I've told you, as

we did, for example, sending a bouquet of

flowers the day before.

I mean, there may be a multitude of

ways, but the ones I'm telling you about

are related to the day of the wedding,

and how to create a good experience and

an expectation in the photos that we're going

to give them in the future.

Finally, before we say goodbye, and that's going

to help us, one, to take some more

photos, to have some more portrait photos, because

let's not forget that the couple, all day

long, has been a little bit, sometimes, nervous,

and all these things.

And before we go, at the moment we

say, for example, to the couple, nothing, because

we're going to go, and the couple comes,

hey, guys, thank you very much, we always

say, hey, if you don't feel like it,

it's okay, but we wonder if you would

like if we took one more photo right

here.

And we always use some phrase, something more

creative, and we always say goodbye with a

last photo, with a final photo, okay?

Because this way we still create a greater

expectation.

And still, and still, for example, the couple

thinks in their subconscious, fuck, these two guys,

after being all day working with the amount

of photos they have taken, they still want

to take one more photo.

But, as I say, it's not only to

look good with them, but it's to have

a better file, and also, those photos are

usually much better because, after all day, the

couple is super relaxed, and they even drank

some glass of wine, which will make it

easier to work with them better.

When I talk about taking a photo, I'm

talking about a photo, I'm not talking about

a 15-minute session, but I'm talking about

a maximum of two photos, and that's it.

And we say goodbye.

And in that moment, we create an even

greater expectation, and the experience still increases, you

know?

So, everything is better for us.

That's why I wanted to share that with

you today.

First, those photos, the relatives, super close, I'm

talking about parents, brothers, or even best friends,

at the moment of the cocktail, and one

more photo at the moment we say goodbye.

That's all to create an experience and a

greater expectation with our work, and, in the

end, when the wedding happens, speak well of

us, and that will be useful for future

contracts that will never go wrong.

So, this was the short tip for this

week, and you'll see another video very soon.

So, see you soon, take care, be good,

and hire weddings, bastards!
