Wedding Planning: Top 3 Oversights by Category
1. Shot list – Taking the time to make an official shot list for your photographer will ensure that you get the pictures you had hoped for. This should include:
Formal group shots of the wedding party and family members
Décor & detail shots - favours, cake, flowers, tablescapes, etc.
Candid reception shots – speeches, dinner, dancing
2. Props & accessories – Organize any items your photographer needs in order to cover all of the wedding details beforehand. These items may include:
Wedding bands, jewelry box, ring pillow
Bride & groom’s apparel and bridal bouquet
Pretty hangers for bridesmaid dresses
3. Timing – Photographers usually have a package that includes a specific number of hours on-site. If you would prefer having lots of late-night dance shots, be sure to book your photographer’s start time a little later. If you’re more interested in getting shots of the wedding party while they get ready - book your photographer to start earlier and be sure to have those rooms tidied in advance.
