TIMING IS EVERYTHING
That might sound a little dramatic, but it doesn’t make it less true. I want to capture your day exactly as it happens. So whether you are being zipped into your dress, sharing a beverage with your guys, laughing with your parents, having a moment together after so much built up anticipation, or unearthing a move on the dance floor that leaves everyone wondering why that hasn’t seen the light of day before… that’s what I’m here to capture. I’m not staging or dictating, I’m documenting. To do that efficiently I create a photography timeline. It’s totally not to step on anyones toes, but there is a lot going through your mind on a wedding day, and I want to make sure I have all the info I’ll need so you can live your day fully. I will usually start the preparation photos two hours prior to the ceremony if you are not seeing one another and three if you are. This allows me time to shoot the preparations of both sides of the wedding party barring any extended travel that must happen between the prep and ceremony locations.
SO, LET ME KNOW WHERE YOU'D LIKE ME TO START DOCUMENTING YOUR DAY
Are you thinking the whole enchilada? Make-up, hair, robes, invitations, champagne, cigars, lounging, suit, dress, flowers, hanging out? Plan on the preparation photos taking about an hour to and hour and fifteen minutes. If you are not having a first look then after the prep is finished I will shoot individual pictures of each of the couple (separately), the respective wedding parties, and your immediate family photos. If you are planning on seeing each other before the ceremony, I like to start at least three hours before the ceremony to allow time for prep, individual, first look, couple’s pictures, wedding party, and individual immediate family photos, and formal immediate family photos. I like to stop all photography at least 30 minutes before the ceremony to give you both time to freshen up and relax.
