5 Things to Remember

1. The photographer is booked for a certain time so they usually attend only the beginning of the reception.

2. Be clear about expectations with a written list that is agreed on between you and the photographer.

3. Have a friend or family member who is good with a camera taking backup photos so you have all bases covered. Just make sure they let your professional photographer have right of way.

4. Be sure about permission to photograph at various locations as there can be restrictions, especially with some churches. So to keep planning easy check ahead of the big day so you get the best choices with your pictures.

5. Other photos that set the scene and capture details can also be included in the list such as any special decorations at home or at the church or reception. So add to or subtract from this list as it suits you.
