Booking all of the various venues and vendors for your wedding can be such an exciting time for you and your soon-to-be spouse. But, as everyone who’s ever planned a wedding knows, it can also be extremely stressful. Here are some ways that I work with you to make your wedding photography experience as smooth as possible:
Gathering all the details
The first thing I like to do is make sure I have all of your details. One of my main tools to make sure we’re on the same page is my wedding day questionnaire. I use this form to first gather basic information as well as more detailed questions like, where will you be getting ready, and the contact information for your coordinator. I also include what family groupings you want for family portraits and if you have any must-have photos. There is a section in the form that helps me build your timeline. Already have a timeline? Perfect! Let me know all the details and we can work to make your vision a reality.
Scoping out the location
One of the most important details when it comes to wedding photography is the location of the photos. That’s why I like to check out the venues beforehand so I know all the best spots for lighting and backdrop before you ever make your way up that aisle!
Filling in your second photographer
Not everyone will have a second photographer, but when you book with me, it’s easy to add one by the hour to any of my packages. Once I see that you’ve booked a second photographer, I’ll discuss your timeline with them. We’ll go over all the necessary details to make sure we are in sync and ready for your big day!
Preparing for anything
It’s very rare that every little detail goes perfectly on a wedding day, that’s why I like to put your mind at ease (for your photography at least) by coming extra prepared! I like to bring extra batteries, extra sim cards, and even a backup camera, in case something unexpected happens. I always check the weather, and if there’s even a chance of rain I bring a rain cover for my camera. Weddings can bring out all the feels, so you can let those happy tears flow! I bring tissues so nothing can stop you from getting the perfect shot on your amazing day!
Some aspects of wedding planning can be stressful. When you book with me I do my best to take away the guesswork and leave you satisfied and confident with your photography experience. You can sit back, relax, and enjoy your wedding day knowing that the photos you get will preserve these precious memories for years to come!
