To enjoy every moment of planning...
The typical process from planning your wedding photographer with myself to capturing your day goes a little something like this; Firstly we will arrange a free consultation where we can meet to discuss your wedding photography requirements and see if we 'click'. I will make some notes on your wedding, for example; location, date time and any other finer details. I will allow you to think about whether you would like me to capture your special day. I know its a very big decision to make, this is why I would also expect for you to meet and discuss your wedding photography with other photographers to see who you feel will capture your day in the best way for yourselves. If you decide that you would like for me to photograph your wedding, I would send over a questionnaire that you will be able to fill in the finer details for your day and also require a deposit to secure your date. About a month before the wedding, I will meet up with you both again to go through all the details to ensure that we are both on the same page and that we havent missed anything and to of course add anything that you would like!
I wouldn’t say I have a number one... but definitely get some portrait shots of you both in your wedding day ❤️
