As we embark on this beautiful journey with you to capture the magic of your big day, we want to be sure to preserve those moments and details that are most important to you, as well as the unexpected moments that can’t be predicted ahead of time. With our years of experience and passion for storytelling through images, we’ve crafted the ultimate wedding photography checklist to ensure nothing is overlooked on your special day.
- Pre-Wedding Consultation: We’ll schedule a meeting to discuss your vision, preferences, and any specific shots you’d like to prioritize. This allows us to tailor our approach to your unique style and expectations.
- Venue Preview: If possible, we’d like to virtually preview the wedding venue ahead of time. This helps us familiarize ourselves with the layout, lighting conditions, and potential photo opportunities. Most venues have plenty of photos online, but when you visit the venue, be sure to take phone snapshots of areas that you particularly love, especially for portraits, group shots and “first look.”
- Timeline Coordination and Day Of: We’ll work closely with you and your wedding planner to create a photography timeline that aligns with the flow of your day. This ensures that we capture all key moments without anyone feeling rushed or stressed. On the day of your wedding, we’ll arrive early to set up equipment, coordinate with other vendors, and ensure that everything is running smoothly. We’ll be there to capture every moment, from the pre-ceremony preparations to the last dance of the evening.
- Shot List: While we specialize in capturing candid moments and authentic emotions, we trust and value your input. This is YOUR special day, and we’re thrilled to be a part of it. We’ll review your shot list to ensure that we prioritize the shots that matter most to you, such as family portraits, bridal party photos, and special details. If possible, it would be helpful if you assign someone who knows most of the guests to point out the people you want to be sure we photograph. Believe us, you’ll be too busy and “in the flow” to have to worry about this yourself on the big day.
- Equipment Check: We always keep our gear in top condition, including cameras, lenses, flashes, and backup equipment. This guarantees that we’re prepared for any technical challenges that may arise.
- Communication Channels: We’ll establish clear communication channels with you and/or your wedding planner to address any last-minute changes or concerns. That way we’re always on the same page and can adapt quickly.
- Special Requests: If you have any special requests or considerations, such as accommodating elderly relatives or capturing specific cultural traditions, please let us know in advance.
- Post-Production: After the wedding, we’ll carefully curate and edit your photos, ensuring that each image reflects the beauty and emotion of your special day. We’ll deliver the final photos in a timely manner, allowing you to relive your wedding day for years to come.
That’s the checklist, but first and foremost, we want to get to know you both as a couple. Understanding your unique love story, personalities, and preferences allows us to tailor our approach and capture authentic moments that truly reflect who you are.
From the pre-ceremony excitement to the heartfelt exchange of vows and the joyous celebration that follows, our checklist encompasses every aspect of your wedding day.
As the day unfolds, we’ll capture a mix of candid moments and posed portraits, from the tender glances exchanged between you and your partner to the laughter shared with family and friends.
In conclusion, our ultimate wedding photography checklist is a testament to our commitment to excellence and our dedication to preserving the beauty of your love story. We look forward to being a part of your special day and creating timeless memories that you will cherish for a lifetime – click here to get in touch!
