Wedding Day Suggestions

These are some suggestions that may help you, your photographer and other working professionals, who are there to help make your wedding day the happiest day of your life!
  1. Ask your hairdresser and your make-up artist to finish their work at the time assigned for them.
  2. Ask the florist to deliver the flowers for the wedding at all locations at the proper time. Arrange for flower deliveries at least 30 minutes before the arrival of theGetting Ready Photos wedding photographer. Flowers delivered to the location of the bride's pre-wedding photography shoot should include the bouquets for the bride, maid of honor, bridesmaids, flower girl's basket, corsages for your mother, grandmother, etc., boutonnieres for the father, grandfather, ring bearer, brothers, etc. Wedding flowers that need to be delivered to the ceremony site, including boutonnieres for the groom, best man, ushers, father, grandfather, etc. and corsages for the mother & grandmother should also arrive before the photographer. Ask all family members, maid of honor, bridesmaids, ring bearer, flower girl & parents to be at the bride’s pre-wedding photography location before the photographer arrives. If you choose to wear a garter, please remember to wear it before the photographer leaves the wedding photography shoot.
  3. When the bride's limo or car arrives at the ceremony site, make sure the photographer is present before the bride steps out.
  4. Make sure that the photographer is familiar with the rules and customs of the church or ceremony site.
  5. During your wedding ceremony and family formals following the ceremony it is important that your wedding guests and family members respect your professional wedding photographer and or videographer by not taking any photographs so that they can properly photograph your wedding.
  6. After the ceremony is over and everyone has exited the church, please remember to return for your formal photographs. It is best if you inform your immediate family not to leave the church after the ceremony.
  7. It is also helpful, if you can assign someone (preferably someone who knows all your relatives) to help the photographer in grouping the families. This will save Bride Getting Readyconfusion, time and expense.
  8. If you would like photographs with friends before your wedding reception starts, please let your photographer know. For your wedding day reception, it is best to inform your photographer in advance of the wedding reception schedule, including time of dinner, the first dance, parents dance, bridal party dance, time of any and all speeches you have scheduled, cutting of the cake, throwing of the bridal bouquet and garter, if there will be any changes of clothes and any other special wedding day events that you plan.
  9. Finally, be sure to inform your photographer of any new events or changes in plans, which you did not discuss the day of your consultation.
All this will help your photographer create beautiful memories of your wedding day that will last a lifetime.
