Wedding Planner
The Planner really helps me organise the day’s shoot. For example, it helps me decide what equipment to bring and how to map out the area in case of emergencies. I also try to remember everyone's names so that I can get a genuine smile when I group people for photographs. Some couples have remarked that it also helps them know what to expect and eases their mind as the day’s itinerary is tucked away in a pocket. With family members, children, guests, hotel staff, ceremony procedures, speeches and events lined up, it’s very easy to forget to photograph shy aunty Mary who spent all night putting pins through flower stems. Don’t have any regrets by putting her name down!
Note: 80% of the time, shooting starts late due to unforeseen circumstances. If you have strong ambitions for quality and quantity of images:Please plan 25 minutes for the family photos. It usually takes 2-3mins for each group shot.Also, make sure to add another 35 minutes for bridal party photos and creative photographs.
Family Photos ( It takes roughly 4 minutes for each checkbox and both sides of the family are photographed)
I would always suggest photographing family photos at the ceremony location if it's separate from the reception. As they take less time to organise since everyone is present at the ceremony.
Prompts and Directions - Sometimes the natural smile fades throughout the course of the day. So, I'll get the bridal party group to pull a funny face or give me their best dance move just to relax people and try get photos when they're laughing at themselves.
Some weddings involve only the couple, where others are enjoyed by the hundreds. It really helps me to know the people "behind the curtains" so as to ensure everything runs smoothly. For example, knowing the Videographer's name and email can really help before the day. Please fill in the contact details of the following people if you have time
