A chat with wedding photographer Rene Zadori

One click and it's done.

The dress, the kiss, smiles, tears, laughter - the best moments on your biggest day are all caught within seconds. This is no easy task, with small breaks, and maneuvering through guests for the right angle and lighting - your photographer is creating an album to last a lifetime. Rene Zadori is familiar with the process, from the first initial talk to the day he hands over the bride's photos. With over 8 years of experience, each and every time it feels new. We follow Rene as he follows #EnzoaniRealBride Kristina on her wedding day.

What are some common questions you have from brides?

The common question we get from our brides is where they should do their Pre-Wedding Session and Wedding Portrait Session. To assist with this process, we created Location Recommendations and Tips, two separate ones: one for their Pre-Wedding & one for their Wedding. We also get asked about wedding vendors, and we always give our honest feedback, referrals, and recommendations. At Rene Zadori Photography, we are always available at our clients’ disposal, from the moment they inquire with us until way past post-production. Over time, we develop a close relationship with our brides, they feel comfortable asking us all kinds of questions. We are happy to assist with every one of them.

Are there any trends you see with bridal photos?

We’ve been noticing more and more, especially these past couple months that brides are going for the “timeless” look with their bridal style. As much as we love this look, and our personal favorite, it would be fun to see more brides take risks and do something modern while incorporating their own personal style.

What should brides look for or take into consideration when choosing a photographer? Instagram? Portfolio? Website?

The most important thing is that you and your photographer have good vibes together. You're going to spend the most time with your photographer, so it’s imperative that you get along well and are on the same page with their photography style. When finding your wedding photographer, we feel most of our brides look for a company that provides great customer service, is professional, and produces quality work. The best way to get an idea of who your photographer is, would be to look at their Instagram & website. If you like what you see, set up a Prospective Client Meeting and go meet them!

Helpful tips to get the best photos?

Trust your photographer’s judgment and let loose to take direction. Luckily, our clients are all amazing and they trust whatever advice we provide. Also, it’s very vital that you do a Pre-Wedding Session. At this time, it’s the chance to work closely with your photographer and your fiancé to learn how your wedding day will feel like, what angles look best, etc.

Do you have a recommended schedule for the big day?

Yes! If you don’t have a planner, work with your photographer to set up your timeline no later than the week before your wedding. If you have any questions about your timeline, don’t hesitate to reach out to your photographer. Make time for your photographs because these are the heirlooms that will last you a lifetime.
