In order to assure that there is plenty of yummy light for your couple photos, I limit family formals to immediate family only (parents, siblings, grandparents). If there are other friends or family members that you would like to have photographed please let me know and I will set aside time during the reception to accommodate them. Please list names and relationships of immediate family members here.

Names of wedding party members (bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girls, ring bearers)

Vendor contact information (planner, dj, cake, etc.)

It is incredibly helpful to have a photography timeline in place before the wedding day. Please provide the following information to help me in putting one together: Hair and makeup completion time

Ceremony start time and anticipated length

Time you would like to be introduced into the reception

Are you planning a formal exit? (Sparklers, bubbles, etc.)

I will be in touch shortly after receiving your answers with a completed timeline and to go over any last minute wedding day details.

TIPS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

In order to allow for a private photo session of bride and groom please allow 45 minutes.

Any guests including family not involved in the formal portraits should proceed to the cocktail hour. The more people around, the longer it can take to complete the formal portrait session.

Please note that during family formals, wedding party and Bride and Groom portraits, no other photographs/photographers are allowed.

Be kind to ensure the presence of all the family members required for family formal photos. It always takes some time to gather people together and pose them so that everyone can be seen, etc. Pre-assign a family member or friend who knows the people to be in the pictures to round them up for the photos. Getting people where they need to be for the photos is by far the most time consuming part of group shots.

Be sure that your getting ready room is tidied up before we get there (bags and such moved to one corner, any bits and bobbles that are laying around put away, etc), and please, please, please have your hair and makeup artist set up near a bright beautiful window! It makes all the difference in the world to have lovely natural light for your getting ready photos.

This one might sound funny, but please be sure that we are fed at the very beginning of dinner. This will ensure that we are finished eating at the same time you are, and will be ready to roll into the evenings events in sync.
