9) How much time do you need for photos
on the day of the wedding?
When experienced professional photographers approach your wedding day,
they have to make some logical decisions about time management in advance.
He or she will politely remind the bride and groom that cooperation
and good organization are key elements in a successful game plan.
These decisions are based on experiences from previous weddings
with the same time frame involved.
______________________________
In a perfect world, your photographer would like sixty to ninety minutes
with the bride, her family and her bridesmaids prior to the ceremony.
After the ceremony, another sixty to ninety minutes would be ideal
for pictures of the bride and groom,
their bridal party and their respective families.
You might also have to add in travel time to get from the place of the ceremony
to the park and/or the catering facility.
Special requests for extended family pictures and large group shots
should be discussed in advance and planned accordingly.
________________________________________________
All photos taken during the cocktail hour and the reception will be candid.
There is no need for posing, unless the bride and groom
had a special request for a formal picture to be taken.
