Anticipation!

Oh, I think I've gone crazy.

I think I'm crazy, right?

Completely.

In addition to photography, the last stage that

I had to live with the damn pandemic

has already made this head explode everywhere.

A couple of months ago it seemed that

we were not going to shoot just a

damn wedding all year round, now suddenly it

seems that we do.

This Saturday we have a wedding, the next

day we rest, but the next day we

start having weddings, as if it were a

real season, and I don't know about you,

but this is making me damn crazy, and

I don't even know what to think, or

what to understand, or how to organize things.

The point is that in today's video I

would like to talk to you about anticipation,

but not anticipation itself, of anticipating to take

a photo in those previous moments.

No, no, I'm talking about anticipating to know

what's going to happen on the day of

the wedding, and although many times I have

told you that there is a margin for

adventure, that things arise as they arise, improvisation

in theory, but the truth, and I want

it to be clear to all of you,

is that improvisation exists in our weddings, but

there is also a very, very established script

in which we try to keep everything there,

so that everything works well, and follow that

script that we have established in our mind,

so that more or less the report comes

out as we would like it to come

out.

So let's focus on this.

First of all, I should say, that before

it starts, there may be the possibility that

you have, for example, a wedding planner or

not.

If you have it, it will help us

to know everything perfectly, how the couple is,

how they are going to organize it, what

things are going to be really special, because

the wedding planner will not be carried away

by the anxieties of the moment, and will

tell us the truth at all times.

I mean, we never get carried away by

the couple, by what the couple tells us,

because the couple is going to enlarge everything,

and sometimes what a rice output can be

for the couple, disorbitant, and that they are

going to throw kilos and kilos of rice,

the wedding planner is going to tell us,

look, they have prepared only three or four

bags of rice, so they are a couple

a little ...

Well, I think you already understand where I'm

going, right?

So, if you have a wedding planner, it's

fabulous, but if you don't have a wedding

planner, you're going to have to, like us,

a few minutes ago, talk to the boyfriends.

I mean, organize a video call days in

advance to know what is going to happen.

Not to know exactly what is going to

happen, but if you have, for example, a

script, and say, for example, know people who

are going to talk, know people who are

going to deliver something, I mean, if they

are going to talk, if they are going

to talk, for example, friends, or if they

are going to talk, for example, the boyfriends,

we need to see it, because that is

going to help us when it comes to

knowing if there is going to be a

speech, we are going to record it.

You already know how important it is that

we record the speeches and then prepare a

slideshow in conditions.

I mean, anticipate that someone is going to

talk.

We already know that at the next wedding,

the best friend of the boyfriend is going

to make a five-minute speech, and apparently

they think it's going to be something super

personal.

So that's going to help us.

In the same way, we want to know

how the bride is going to go, from

the church, for example, to the church, and

in that case, we tell them that one

of us, for example, in this case, I'm

going to go in the bride's car, which

they already knew before, but we emphasize it

again.

I mean, let's anticipate that not at the

last moment I'm left out, right?

And Erika, I mean, she's going to look

for life, well, she's not going to look

for life, she's going to worry about parking

the car at the church door, well, at

the door, in a nearby park, and we

also found out or we know that they

are going to walk, I mean, the boyfriend

is going to walk from his house to

the church, with which we intuit that there

may be photos.

As a result, the day before, on Friday,

Erika and I are going to go to

Barcelona, first of all, to take a walk

from the boyfriend's house to the church, to

know what possibilities there may be, to see

if there are going to be super busy

streets, or streets that are not so busy,

I mean, we are going to try to

see what is happening there, okay?

In the same way, we are also going

to visit, for example, the church, because the

boyfriends have already told us, we enter through

one door, and we leave through another.

As much as we see that church on

Google, gentlemen, it will not help us at

all, I mean, to anticipate that again, and

above all, to know which door they enter,

and to know which door they exit, and

to know what happens.

Also, if they are going to exit through

another door, which looks like a very, very

small square, we are going to see, we

are going to call, we are going to

be bothered to see if in any of

those houses that live in front of the

church, one of us can go up and

can capture some image, as in previous years

we have photographed images like the one that

I am showing you now.

That is why it is so important that

we have a video call, a call with

the couple, and that ultimately we know a

little bit what is going to happen in

that aspect, or the day of the wedding,

I mean, to go a little bit on

a prepared script.

But in the same way that we visit

the church and the nearby area, we are

going to visit, as it is obvious, that

farm, or that farm, because we do not

know it, and mainly because the couple told

us, or told us that near the church

there is nothing attractive for them, it may

be for us, but we are going to

have a plan B, we are going to

go to that farm, we are going to

analyze it, we are going to take a

look at it, and we are going to

see, above all, if in the nearby areas,

in the nearby area of the farm, there

is any possibility, on the way to the

farm, to have already thought if there is

a possibility for a shot.

In addition, the couple, we have found out

that they have hired a vintage car, I

mean, an old car, one of these beautiful

wedding cars, in which I will go with

the bride and the bride's father, from the

bride's house to the church, but later it

is more than likely that Erika will go

with our vehicle to the farm, start taking

details, and I will take care of going

with the couple's car from the church to

the farm, and that we stop at some

point near the farm, apparently there are some

vineyards, some stories out there, to take advantage

to take something.

I mean, we do this at all weddings.

There is no wedding that we go or

visit a farm and that we do not

know what the farm is like, or that

we do not know what the restaurant is

like, or what surrounds the farm, because at

some point we may get a pretty interesting

photo.

That's why we have to be a little

bit aware of what is going to happen,

not only before the ceremony, during the ceremony,

later, and even during the party.

We already know who the bouquet will be

given to, we already know that the couple

are very embarrassed and do not want to

talk, and that their friends will talk for

them.

I mean, these are things that will help

us not to go to the wedding as

if we were hippies going on a total

adventure, but quite the opposite, we will be

prepared.

Later, on the day of the wedding, we

will find out, or we will always find

out in advance of what is going to

happen.

I mean, once we enter the hacienda, the

first thing we are going to do is

talk to the maître, introduce ourselves, very politely,

and tell him, look, we are the wedding

photographer, we just wanted to know if something

was going to happen in advance, of friends

or something, please let us know before that

happens so that the bull does not catch

us.

It is not the first time that we

are eating something, we are in a place

and suddenly we see that the grooms are

giving themselves up, doing something, and we are

in another place because we thought that nothing

would happen.

It is good that the maître is on

our side and that he warns us about

the things that are going to happen at

all times.

In the same way, when the cocktail is

already a little advanced, I go again to

the maître, for example, and ask him again,

just to get organized, do you know how

long or how long do you think the

guests are going to enter the room?

Why do I ask this?

Because knowing the time left, maybe then, on

the farm, we have seen some corner, like

that photo of the circle in which we

prepare it to do it in those five

minutes that the grooms enter the room, do

you understand me?

With which, that time will serve me to

say, within ten minutes, the maître is going

to enter the room, with which I will

have five minutes to steal the couple and

take four photos.

That is, anticipate me again and know what

is going to happen.

So that the time does not come when

all the guests enter and I do not

know what to do.

Do you understand me?

Super important.

And once the banquet is already, that people

start eating or having dinner, the first thing

I'm going to do, once I have all

the photos and everything ready, I'm going to

talk to the DJ.

With the DJ to find out, super important,

what kind of light he is going to

put, what kind of song, finally.

Then, what kind of songs are going to

continue, why?

Because depending on what kind of songs it

opens, how is going to be that party

or how many golfers are really the grooms.

Depending on the music, I think we already

have clear many, many things.

And above all, it opens if there is

going to be a video, a surprise, a

story.

I mean, everything that is going to involve,

but above all, with the main DJ, is

to know what kind of music, what kind

of lights, in the first dance, above all,

if he is going to throw smoke or

not, then, later, how many lights or how

many possibilities does that DJ have or those

stories for me to know.

And organize myself, as always, politely, and ask

for the DJ to say for the first

dance, maybe you could put this light, you

could put another one, all these things.

I mean, we are going to always go

a little ahead of what is going to

happen, so that it is logical that there

is going to be a margin for improvisation,

but there is going to be a greater

margin for an established script that helps us

in the end, to have the reins, at

all times, of the horse so outspoken in

which it can become a damn wedding.

So, that until now, and I hope that

all this helps you a little bit, since

I know that some of you are going

to start wedding soon, others in the following

weeks, so all these little tips I think

they can come in handy so that the

report comes out in conditions.

So, nothing more, until next time and keep

hiring weddings, bastards!
