WEDDING CHECKLIST
The following is a list of suggested candid´s to serve as a guide
for you and me on your wedding day. The list is a very important tool
to use to communicate your preference, and those preferences will be observed
as closely as possible.
Please mark the box next to each item which describes a photo you would
like to see in your wedding album.
A word about TR ADITION....... Traditionally, the Bride and groom have
avoided seeing each other in their wedding attire before the ceremony.
In recent years, many have chosen to observe this tradition in a different
way. Many now prefer to set aside time before the ceremony for Bride and
Groom to share a special moment together. Immediately, formal portraits
of the Bride and Groom are taken, as well as many other groups photos
that previously were taken after the ceremony. Besides a more relaxed
photography session, the guests and Bride party are usually grateful for
the prompt appearance of the Bride and Groom at the reception.
At the Bride´s Home (or church) before the ceremony, photos of the
Bride are taken.
The beautifully posed and lighted photographs of the Bride, Bridesmaids,
and Parents that will enhance your album are all taken PRIOR to the wedding.
It is important that ample time be given so that neither you or the photographer
are RUSHED! There are several factors that can be used to determine the
time needed, such as distance to the church, number of Bridesmaids, additional
relatives, and so on. Allow at least 90 minutes to two hours. Please arrange
to have the flowers on hand before the photographer arrives
