Coverage will start with the bride's preparations approximately two hours before
the ceremony (dependent on the distance to the location). Then I will move to the
venue to capture your guests arriving prior to the arrival of the bride.
During the ceremony I will photograph discreetly to capture the emotions and important
moments. Coverage of the ceremony is at the discretion of the minister or registrar
and I ask you to discuss what they will allow at your pre-wedding meeting with them.
After the ceremony I will take some photographs at the ceremony venue before moving
on to the reception location. I am not a traditional 'line up and shoot' photographers
but understand there will always be some required, although I try to make these
relaxed and enjoyable for everyone.
I appreciate that you and your guests want to have fun rather than standing around
for hours, to achieve this I suggest you limit group photographs to no more then
six close groups and that you nominate someone who knows your guests to assist me.
Sometime between the ceremony and the start of the meal I will spend some time with
the couple, creating amazing and memorable portraits showing you at your very best!
The rest of the day usually has me capturing the spirit and fun of the speeches,
cake cutting, bouquet tossing, reportage shots of you and your guests and the first
dance.
This is just an outline for a typical day. Obviously your wedding is individual
and I am very happy to be as flexible as you need us to be to ensure that you are
happy with the photographs you receive. The engagement shoot is a great opportunity
to discuss any special requests you may have.
