FAQ
When should everyone be ready?
I recommend everyone be fully dressed and photo ready at least 30 minutes before portraits are scheduled to begin. This gives us time for final touch ups and ensures we start on schedule.
 
How can family help portraits move quickly?
Please encourage immediate family to remain near the ceremony site immediately afterward (unless otherwise planned). Having everyone nearby allows portraits to move efficiently so everyone can return to celebrating.
 
What should be gathered before the photographer arrives?
 
Having your details together allows photography to begin immediately. This typically includes:
- Dress and veil
- Shoes
- Rings
- Jewelry
- Invitation suite
- Vows or letters
- Perfume or cologne
- Any heirloom items
 
What if we're running behind?
Don't panic! One of my roles on a wedding day is helping adjust the timeline while keeping everyone calm. We'll prioritize what matters most and make the best use of the time we have.
