Partner 1 Name
Where will the partner 1 have her final preparation taking place (last makeup & hair finishing touches and getting in the dress) on the wedding day? (Name and Address if NOT the ceremony location). If two photographers, this is where Chris will start.
Partner 2 Name
Partner 2 getting ready photos?
Partner 2 would like getting ready photos taken (can realistically do without a second photographer IF both partners are getting ready at the same location OR if one partner is getting ready first.)
Please note that unless you have hired a second photographer. Coverage of partner 2 will take place before the partner 1’s getting ready coverage.
Please verify the start time of the ceremony:
:
This answer simply helps me to know what to expect in regards to how the ceremony will run so I can plan to capture all of the important moments for you.
Do you plan on seeing each other before the Ceremony?
Although not traditional, this does make your photography much more relaxed for you, your friends, and your family. Plus, everyone is still looking their best!
Please specify which groups at which locations.
Which family group photos would you like taken?
Please check all that apply.
(Example: Both of us with sister, Sarah) ***Please plan on about 2 minutes of time for each additional grouping requested. PLEASE SPECIFY INDIVIDUALS BY NAME***
Are there any special family situations (divorces, deaths, etc.), that I should know about that we need to be sensitive to?
Are you planning a formal exit? (from the ceremony or reception)
When will the formal exit be taking place?
Suggestion: If your exit takes place after dark it’s recommended that sparklers play at least some role in the exit to act as a light source 🙂 Can be combined with other things too).
What time does the reception end?
:
Have contracted a videographer?
Total number of attendants (bridesmaids/groomsmen etc.)
Will the address that you gave us at the time of booking change once you get married?
