In this post, I am going to share my thoughts and a few tips regarding feeding your photographers. Many clients may oversee their vendors meals simply because they didn’t think of it. Most of the time, they didn’t even know to feed their vendors till their venue included it in their package.

Ask your photographer how many people will be on the team for your wedding. One vendor meal per person.

A lot of vendors will work from early in the morning till about 10 or 11 pm at night. Usually we provide lunch for ourselves but dinner is a lot more difficult to get away. We love a quick little meal to keep us on our toes. The meals usually should be served shortly after the Bride and Groom are served. This way we can quickly eat and be back up and taking care of things. Vendors will usually eat in a separate room so that we can let you enjoy your dinner. As for photographers, you won’t want us taking your picture with a mouth full of food anyway, and you certainly want to enjoy your dinner in peace.

Remember your venue will ask you how many vendor meals you will need. Usually each vendor will include a clause about providing vendor meals for each member on their team. One thing you could do to ensure that your photographers won’t miss any events at your reception, is to ask the catering or venue manager to serve them at the beginning of the meal nearby the reception hall.

If you have any questions, speak to your vendor.
