WE WANT YOUR PHOTOS TO BE THE BEST THEY CAN BE! HERE’S SOME INFO TO HELP US PLAN FOR GREAT IMAGES.
GETTING READY
we suggest you choose to get ready in a modern hotel room, AirBnB or a home with lots of natural light and neutral dccor. be sure that whatever space you select has plenty of room for everyone to get ready. you may even want to get a second room specifically for hair and makeup! it’s usually worth the extra fee to not feel crammed and chaotic. one of the biggest time wasters during the prep photos is having to clean up and arrange furniture so a roomy space that is uncluttered is ideal. CEREMONY
if you’re getting married outdoors you may want to consider a later ceremony, after 4pm in summer light is much more flattering than harsh mid-day sun. a completely shaded space is perfect or at least having the sun behind the bride and groom. when one person is shaded and the other is in bright light it may cause photos to seem off balance even if they turn out great. lig please be sure to ask your officiant if there are restrictions for photography, especially with regards to flash. we do our best to limit the use of flash during any ceremony but some churches are more strict than others, we don’t want to be disrespectful. FAMILY PHOTOS
when planning for family photos our advice is to keep this portion simple! be sure that all members know where they need to be and when, keep your list su restricted to “must haves” and consider that each group shot will take about 3 minutes to pose and shoot. time adds up quickly when lists are long. we are more than happy to help you create a family shot list that includes the most important people in your big day but also helps you avoid stress. if you want a large group shot of everyone in attendance this should be discussed and planned with us beforehand to ensure that we have sufficient time and space - large groups can take about 20 minutes to arrange. su FORMAL PHOTOS
formal bridal party and bride/groom portraits are a lot of fun! we like to joke around with your crew and make the experience an enjoyable one. it’s recommended that you set aside 30-40 minutes for the bridal party and another 45-60 minutes for the bride & groom. these photos are typically the ones that are printed, shared, and put in keepsake albums so we want to make sure they knock your socks off! we understand that you don’t want to keep your guests waiting too long but we also want these very important images to get the attnetion they deserve! we HIGHLY recommend setting aside 20-25 minutes at sunset for us to sneak you outside for some gorgeous unique photos.
