How is it like to be a wedding photographer?
meow. what is the most important factor in each shoot?

Lighting? Moments? Equipment? Locations? All these are important but maybe not the most I concern. Now many people can take a masterpiece with their phone plus 2 mins of post shooting work.
Relationships? getting close. You can always find the cutest face of your cat, wife, baby, properties or yourself. I know I can not beat you anyway. But I can learn from you.
So what is the most important factor? I say it is timing.
Timing is lighting, mood, situation... all together. So we always spend at least 30% in our pre shoot meeting to understand how the run down.
What time people start to come in? Do we have enough time in-between to do a bit more clicks before walking into the venue?
What time you are signing your life away? I must have enough moment to prepare all equipment/angle to be ready
What time is the cake smash? everyone getting drunk? meal time? ....
Be prepared to be really tired after the pre shoot. I ask many questions.
