wedding day worksheet
As you have seen in the many example of our work, we do not do many overly posed photographs on your wedding day.
However, we do feel it is important to have some casually posed images with your close family and friends on this important occasion.
We will usually take the formal photographs immediately following the ceremony. In order to make this process less time consuming and confusing for all parties involved we would appreciate your help in the selection of your formal groupings. Our standard formal groupings are listed below. For your information, the following list will generally
take 15 minutes.
*bride and groom with brides parents
*bride and groom with brides parents and siblings
*bride and groom with grooms parents
*bride and groom with grooms parents and siblings
*bride and groom with all bridal party
*bride and groom with each respective party (if not taken pre-ceremony)
Please note, it is very important that you consider time restraints when adding to this list of formal photographs. You can estimate an average of 3-4 minutes per grouping.
It is absolutely vital that everyone who is in the formal groupings be ready to begin the session at the stated time. In order to not waste time searching for missing individuals, please be sure to communicate this to all those you would like to participate. If you wish to add extended family into the formals, we recommend taking one large bride side/ groom side shot as opposed to large numbers of smaller groupings. We will photograph the family first, then the bridal party, then dismiss everyone to the cocktail hour while we photograph the couple. If you did not see each other before the ceremony for pictures, please allow us the remainder of the cocktail hour for your pictures. If there are other groupings you wish to have taken, please list them below.
