The first meeting with the bride and groom to be is extremely important. It lets them get used to you, and also lets you start to observe them. You want to watch what they are like together, how they interact, what level of intimacy they are willing to show to each other before a relative stranger. Are they sitting close, holding hands, or even kissing each other during this first meeting. This will give you some insights to how they will be on their wedding day, and also how they will want themselves portrayed in the photos.

While you are observing the couple, you want to work with them to find out what it is they want. Most brides to be will have an idea of what their wedding album will look like, and what type of pictures they want in it. It may take a bit of work, but try to get the groom to be involved in this process as well.
The first meeting is by far the longest and most important time in the wedding photography process. Now that it is done, you can go home and write up the contract. If you don't have any idea of how to do it, or what it should look like, go online and you will find lots of contract outlines for
wedding photography.
