If you have chosen to have a second photographer for your wedding, would you like them to photograph groomsmen preparation?

Are either of your being transported in a special vehicle? Ex. A vintage car

What time should the photographer arrive for Bridal preparations? (Around 2.5 hours plus travel time to the venue is the best time for me to arrive, this is when preparations are in full swing but of course I’m more than happy to arrive earlier if you’d prefer!)

Are you having a Videographer?

Are you having Confetti?

Will there be a receiving line before the meal?

Please let us know about any events happening during the breakfast or reception which you think we should know about-eg- sparklers, magician, piper, harpist, etc.

Couples portraiture is the time set aside for photos of the bride & groom alone. Please indicate how much time you have set aside for these photos.* We recommend at least 30-45 minutes, more is better!

Is there anything else you would like us to know about your couples portraits?

What group photos would you like? (around 12 groups is great amount but you can have as many as you like!) Please list names and relation.

Please make us aware of any unique family dynamics which would be important for us during group photographs. Ex. Parents are divorced and don't speak to one another. Grandmother does not want to be in photographs with daughter's husband as they don't get along.

Formal Group Information:

I usually recommend keeping your group shots at no more than 12 different groups (12 different groups can take up to an hour). Simply because getting the correct people together and posed for the photos can take time and I'd like to get you back into your drinks reception as soon as possible!

How long have you set aside for Formal Group shots?

As a courtesy, we provide a small number of photographs to the vendors that have worked on your wedding (eg - photos of the bouquet to your florist). Please note that all requests for vendor images must go directly through the photographer as your license does not allow you to distribute the images for commerical purposes. Are you happy for us to distribute these photos to the vendors who worked on your wedding?
