A wedding runs more smoothly with a small amount of planning done in advance, most of it simple once it’s written down in order.
Book early enough that your preferred date and location are actually available, particularly if timing matters. Confirm exactly what you’ll need to bring, outfit changes included. Share the brief in writing beforehand rather than explaining it all on the day, so nothing gets missed under time pressure.
On the day itself, build in more time than you think you need either side of the session. Rushing in or straight out afterwards is the easiest way to lose the relaxed atmosphere that makes for better images.

FAQs
Two common questions, answered.
What does full-day coverage look like?
Eight to ten hours, from getting ready to the first stretch of the dancefloor. No disappearing after the speeches.
When do we get the photos?
A preview gallery within days, the full edited gallery in around four weeks. Rush delivery is available if needed sooner.

The steps
Broken into steps below.
- Book early. Confirm your preferred date and location while both are actually available, particularly if timing matters.
- Confirm what to bring. Outfit changes, props, anything specific to the shoot. Sort this before the day, not on it.
- Share the brief in writing. Put it in writing beforehand rather than explaining it all on the day, so nothing gets missed under time pressure.
- Build in extra time on the day. More time than feels necessary either side of the session avoids rushing in or straight out afterwards.
