Who should I liaise with on the day itself and his/her contact number
Where should I arrive first? (where is the BRIDE getting ready) Please give actual address for GPS purposes )
*
Where is the GROOM getting ready and what time will he be arriving to that location? This will help us plan when and where I need to be at the beginning of the day.
*
Please List Addresses to the CEREMONY & RECEPTION locations:
What time will the BRIDE arrive at the ceremony location?
What time have we decided that I should start shooting?
Based on the coverage time you have purchased and our starting time, what time will we be ending our coverage?
Will you be doing any type of “Exit” from your reception?
If there is travel time to and from your different venues, please include that time so I am aware of it! Thank you!!
TIMELINE: Can you provide me with a timeline of the wedding day? If you’re sharing a FIRST LOOK, I will need to start shooting bridal details at LEAST 2.5 hours before the ceremony. 3 hours is recommended if there is no extensive travel time to the ceremony venue. If you’re working with a planner, they can forward this information to me if that’s easier. Email me if we need to go over this together! I’d love to help! *
If you are sharing a first look, what is your preference on how private you’d like it to be? We have found on most wedding days, there is always a somewhat awkward conversation of whether or not bridesmaids and/or parents can watch from a distance, up close, or at all, This is your decision, and we are asking you in advance so that we can ensure that your preference is honored on your special day and that you don’t have to have any awkward conversations the day of. Please let us know if you would like your first look to be completely private, family and/or bridal party can watch from a distance, or anyone can watch from any distance.
If you are sharing a first look, do you plan to wear your veil for during it? Some brides choose to wear their veil for the first time when they come down the aisle because they can be heavy and uncomfortable, however I would only recommend this if we have a significant amount of time dedicated to portraits of just the bride and groom post-ceremony.

Please list out some of the KEY details you want to make sure we photograph. We capture most reception details, bridal details, etc but sometimes there are some details that are unique that we are unaware of. Please list any details you want to make SURE we shoot so that we’re all on the same page. Your planner can fill this out if that would be easiest.
FAMILY FORMALS:
Family formals do not have to take over 20 minutes. However, we can only shoot these portraits quickly if we plan in advance. Please list ten different groupings for family photos.
For example:
1. Bride and groom with parents.
2. Bride and Groom with grandparents. 3. Bride and Groom with siblings.
Within these groupings, you can have more than one shot (ex. B&G with Grooms parents, B&G with Brides Parents, etc.)
If you have a very large family and more than 10 group photos, I suggest saving some of the extended family shots until the reception so that family portrait time will not interfere with your romantic portraits and you will not keep your guests waiting at the reception.
Please inform me of any family members that may not get along and/or may not want to be grouped with a certain other family members so that we can avoid and awkward interactions during family formals:)
Thank you!!
Please list 10 Family Groupings for Family Portraits: (Please include names so that I can call family members by their first name as we organize the portraits).
