Hello, lovely couples, and fellow wedding day dreamers!
Planning a wedding is no small feat; it's a journey filled with countless details, decisions, and dreams. And as a wedding photographer, I'm here to make sure your day is picture-perfect in every way. 📸💍
The Ultimate Photography Planning Checklist
To help you along this incredible journey, I've put together a comprehensive checklist that covers all aspects of photography planning for your big day. After all, your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and your photos should reflect the love and joy you're celebrating.
Before the Big Day:
Meet and Greet: Schedule a pre-wedding consultation with me, your friendly photographer. We'll discuss your vision, shot list, and any special requests you may have.
Engagement Session: Consider an engagement photo session to get comfortable in front of the camera and build rapport with your photographer.
Shot List: Create a list of must-have shots and share it with your photographer. Include family group photos, special locations, and candid moments you want to capture.
Lighting: Discuss your venue's lighting with your photographer. If possible, visit the location together to plan for different lighting conditions throughout the day.
Timelines: Work together to create a wedding day timeline. Allow ample time for each part of your day, including hair and makeup, getting dressed, and travel between locations.
On the Wedding Day:
Getting Ready Photos: Arrange for your photographer to capture the moments leading up to the ceremony, including details like your dress, shoes, jewelry, and more.
First Look: Decide if you want a first look session with your partner before the ceremony. If so, add this to your timeline.
Ceremony Shots: Ensure your photographer has a clear view and can move around discreetly to capture every angle of your ceremony.
Reception Details: Share details about your reception, like table settings, décor, and any special moments you want to capture during the reception.
Exit Plans: Discuss how you want to end your reception, whether with a grand exit, sparklers, or another unique idea. Confirm the timing with your photographer.
Post-Wedding:
Delivery Timeline: Discuss the timeline for receiving your photos. Your photographer will need time for post-processing, so set realistic expectations.
Albums and Prints: If you're interested in creating a wedding album or ordering prints, talk to your photographer about options and timelines.
Thank-You Cards: Consider using your wedding photos for thank-you cards. Coordinate with your photographer on how to obtain high-resolution images.
