If you had a crystal ball, what is one activity/scene you both hope to see in your future as a married couple? What is the most important thing you want captured on your big day? If you could walk away from the day with just one photo, what would it be? Is there anything else you would like to note or express that wasn't covered in this questionnaire? GETTING READY * If we are documenting getting ready, please keep main photographed areas of the getting ready room as tidy as possible. This includes the areas where make-up and hair are being done and where the dress/suit will be put on. Bags and various clutter should be kept as hidden as possible to avoid being in the photographs. It is recommended that the room be tidied a few minutes before the photographer is set to arrive. Please get ready in a room with plenty of natural light. I have read the above and understand their importance to the quality of my wedding photographs. Client Details * If you care about detail photos, please have all details (attire, shoes, rings, jewelry, florals, invites, etc) in the same area/bag when the photographer is set to arrive. Not having the details together will cut into the time needed to shoot these details. I have read the above and understand their importance to the quality of my wedding photographs. ZOOM MEETING * Would you like me to set up a quick Zoom call so we can catch up and go over everything before your wedding day? Yes please, we'd love to catch up and go over the gameplan. Nope, I think this covers everything!! We're good. You're Getting Married! * When it all comes down to it, you are marrying the love of your life. Get lost in the moments of your wedding day! The schedule and details will all work out. It's normal for things to get a little behind but I will help get things back on track if needed. Hug your family and friends, kiss your love, laugh big and often, twirl in that beautiful dress, rock that suit... just have a blast! I have read the above and I am so ready to get married! Whew! That was a lot. Treat yourself to something sweet or tasty - you deserve it! See you in a few short weeks. Thank you so much!!
