SHOTLIST

Pre Ceremony

Starting at least 3 hours before the ceremony begins I will come to both locations for consistency sake. It wont take that long but I think it’s a good idea for me to shoot both of you and have Simone assist me for consistency sake. we can decide who goes first in advance.

  • Dress/Suit

    • hanging in a window or layed on the bed. Just a shot of what you’re wearing

  • Getting ready

    • Please do not be dressed and ready to go before I get there. I would like to shoot you getting dressed and having help from a friend or family (example - helping put on a bracelet or zipping up a dress), having makeup and hair done or doing your own in a mirror shot.

  • Flatlay

    • Please collect keepsakes like invitation, shoes (from one of you since you’re at separate locations), both rings! jewellry you’re wearing, and anything else small and/or special. This i’ll do at one location after the “fake” getting ready shot so you can get ready for real.

  • If you have gifts for each other we’ll shoot you opening them separately in your respective hotel rooms.

  • With wedding party while getting ready with everyone if available/if we have time

  • First look - when you see each other for the first time

    • This may be when we get to the house just before ceremony

    • We could also do the first look when one of you gets out of the car to capture the other’s reaction.
