Celebrity wedding photographer and author, Genevieve "Gigi" de Manio, shares her insights to getting those iconic shots, not just for the client, but for your planning or vendor company too. From capturing the famous aisle image at Chelsea Clinton's wedding to the stairs of the New York Public Library for Nate Berkus' big day, Gigi knows the best photographs begin months before they're captured. She'll discuss lighting and backdrops to set the scene up for success and getting your entire team mentally ready for the schedule. She knows communication, preparation, and people count. And that includes working with clients ahead of the wedding day, timelines and shot lists, tricks to fix a space to get a better photo on the fly, and building trust with the team that sets everyone up for a positive outcome (and portfolio show-stopper).
