Basically this. Even working with some of the best around, I'm constantly aware of timeline, arranging the proper people in the proper location, etc... I'm a source of calm and reassurance to the clients and a freaking drill sergeant to everyone else. Well, a really polite one anyway. The better my vendors are, the less of that I have to do. But I go into every wedding prepared to pull double duty.
And yeah... Video guys have it easy the day of. Just tag along for the ride during photos. If something drifts out of focus for a moment it's "artsy". They don't have to worry about expressions or blinks or that one awesome second because they all flow together.
And then the edit comes along and their life is hell....Show more →
My guess is their editing is more interesting then ours. They do their art in the edit room for the most part. That's understating the shooting a little, but people who know movie making process usually hail the finished work as a product of the editor.
Glort nailed it. So did other folks but yeah.
I always wonder what the hell a planner does anyway. When I am at wedding who have them they don't really do anything except maybe backend reception quarterback. Hell I give a timeline to the couples on their first meeting and I've made the planner obsolete at that point. I've tied more ties for other people then I have for myself. Pinned flowers, used chalk and shout wipes on dresses, choreographed ceremonies, directed florists, planned music, strike dance halls, helped with design. Never all at once mind you,
But the key to making the event management part easier is to double or triple the time you need for everything. I put 15-20 minutes of buffer on every segment of the day. Its like old cell phone plans, my minutes carry over. That way if something needs to be redone, or people are slow, or anything unexpected which is every wedding, you will always be early or at worst on time.
