PREPARATION INFO
Please list time/location of preparation for both parties
If you will be putting on your Dress/Tux at a different location (for example, at the ceremony venue after your hair/makeup), please specify here.
Will you be doing First-Looks before the ceremony? *
We highly recommend a First-Look for all Fall/Winter Weddings in order to maximize your photo time in the daylight.
Please specify who, when, and where. If you have video services, it will be best to wait for us to arrive before presenting any gifts.
CEREMONY INFO
If your venue is a hotel, please leave valet or self-park instructions and how to validate our parking tickets
*especially important if your ceremony is in a church
Traditional, non-denominational, catholic mass, casual, theatrics, special performances, unusual ceremony orders, butterfly release, etc
bubbles, bird seed, rice, etc... Drive around the block in a getaway vehicle...
Please consider the number of guests you may have and your timing. In our experience, receiving lines can take double or triple the time alotted and may take away from your scheduled photography time. Please contact us with any questions or concerns.
RECEPTION INFO
If your venue is a hotel, please leave valet or self-park instructions and how to validate our parking tickets
Please list and specify any special event, traditions, or non-traditional moments that we should be aware of during your reception. Any other information that you would like for us to know about your reception can be listed here
*This does not apply to weddings under 6 hours* For all weddings 6 hours +, please let us know how you would like us to go about getting our dinner :) ***It is recommended that you ask your caterer to serve our dinners at the same time as you -especially if you would like to do a sunset sneak-away session. It helps tremendously if we are finished when you are finished.
If you have their e-mail that would be best, as we will touch bases with them regarding your reception timeline

This is very important, please do not forget to send us your *detailed* timeline. If you need assistance with your timeline to maximize your photo-time, please do not hesitate to contact us
Please consider your coverage time when selecting an arrival time (unless previously specified in wedding agreement)
If there are two locations for preparation, please let us know asap, as two stops will have to be made before arrival. This means we will have to account for that time and arrival times may be delayed
Sparklers, etc. Please contact us regarding a grand exit, so we can help make this go smoothly, and to ensure that we will be there for this moment
GENERAL PHOTOGRAPHY
*disclaimer: We do not guarantee any photographs, but we will make it a priority to capture the shots listed below.
This is very important. Please use this area to list each family grouping (using names/relationship to you) that you would like during your family formals time after the ceremony. This list will help make things go very smoothly and will keep everyone organized. We will use this list to call out each group of family members to get them ready for their photo. We recommend making two lists for each side of the family. ***Generally, it takes approximately 2-3 minutes per photo and up to 5 minutes for large groupings***
Photo Booth Backdrop Choice
If you do not make a choice, we will automatically bring a black sequin backdrop
If you decide to choose your props, I will send you a gallery link with images of our booth props. If you decide not to, we will randomly select props for you.
Please specify the earliest time AND latest time on your wedding day that we are able to drop off and set up your photo booth. Please also include the contact information of who we can get in touch with if we have any questions about set up
TRANSPORTATION
Please specify if you have transportation to and from each location for your entire bridal party. If you have a Party bus or limo for post-ceremony and would like a photographer/videographer to be on board, please let us know ahead of time. Please also account for an additional body to be included in your transportation head count.
Sometimes, coverage is requested for prep photos in two different locations. If a team member is dropped off at another location, transportation to the ceremony site will have to be arranged by you.
IMPORTANT BLOG INFORMATION.
We will post your previews on our blog a few days after your wedding day. The more information that you can provide, the more information we can include in your special blog feature! Thank you in advance!
Who organized your wedding day? Was it DIY, or did you hire a full service planner? Did your venue come with a planner/coordinator?
Please specify who made what in the event you did not have a traditional wedding cake.
How did you feel, how did you handle any stress? Was it easier or more difficult than you first thought?
Thoughts and encouragement please. :)
We'll see you soon!!!!
