We are having our final meeting tonight with our photographer. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? I have a list of pics we want and also a few pics from magazines that I would like him to take as well. Thanks.
Hi Elizabeth;
Make sure they''ve submitted insurance certificates to the reception site if that was required.
Confirm the time, location, give them a map if they are unfamiliar with the area.
Give them contact names and numbers for the ceremony and reception sites, and cell phone numbers of the Best Man, or someone else close to the wedding party, if they''ll have a phone. And get their number too.
Talk about the mood you want to set with various shots - do you want some really romantic church shots, playful and fun shots, tender moments with children?
Make sure they know who in the bridal party can help identify the other key people you want photographed, so you''re not rounding people up all night.
Talk about the timing of events - where is the reception line, are you tossing a bouquet, the cake cutting and any other special moments you have planned.
Confirm the details of your contract re: number of shots to be taken and the arrival and departure time. You don''t want any surprises when it''s the end of the night, they''re ready to go, and you haven''t cut the cake yet!
Good Luck - I''ll be doing the same soon, so please post any other suggestions you get or advice that comes from your meeting.
Thanks... Karen
Thanks Karen-I didn`t think of most of those things!
