I begin by gathering the details of what the client will need such as the occasion, hours included, commute and photographers required. The details are preferably gathered through a video call, or in-person to ensure that both the client and I are on the same page for what is expected. I provide a breakdown of the costs to the client and with their approval, we move forward with the project. However, if through the details gathered I feel that what the client is requesting is not within my skill or comfort level, I'll make sure to let them know right away to ensure that they are able to move forward with a better fit.
