Any Other Important Things You Want Me To Consider.
*
I want your wedding images to be flawless! As the photographer, I will be unobtrusive and ready to capture your special moments. Heres are some suggestion for you ::
• This is YOUR day! You are the most important element of the wedding. In order to allow for a private photo session with the Bride and Groom, I will need a minimum of 60 minutes of your time alone.
• You may want to consider having an unplugged wedding. With the progression of modern-day technology has come additional challenges for wedding photographers. In light of this issue, more and more couples are making an announcement to limit or eliminate cell phone and tablet use during their weddings to lower the risk of obstructed views for both the other guests and the photographer.
• In order to ensure the presence of all family members required for formal portraits, please notify them of the exact time and place they will be needed. Please allow a minimum of 30 minutes to complete all family photos.
• Please pre-assign a family member of close friend from each side to round up people that are required in photos. Getting people where they need to be in the pictures is by far the most time consuming part of group shots.
• Please make sure the cutting of the cake occurs within the booking time.
