Reception Full address

What time are you sitting down for your meal?

Speeches! How many speeches do you expect & are these planned for before or after meal?

We always feel apprehensive and shy about asking this question, but with the length of a wedding day and most venues we attend being very remote, we do need to know and plan ahead of time, will you be providing a hot meal for us on the day? And access to soft drinks?

If you’re having speeches between courses and are generously providing us with a hot meal from the catering team, please be aware that these are understandably provided after the last table has been served their main course, and usually in a designated spot away from the main dinner party. If you have events or speeches planned between courses, please inform catering that your photographer will be working between your courses so they can serve me in time to eat before or after speeches – so we can both aim to avoid a missed speech or a cold or missed dinner. If you aren’t providing us meal, be aware that we will have to leave venue to grab warm meal.

Group photos and couples photos

Do you require Family Photos

Family photos Many of our couples choose not to have any but if you do, my standard list is below. I usually do these after you’ve had some time to mingle and enjoy a drink, rather than diving straight into them!

The list is the quickest arrangement, and as a guide, each photo takes around 3 – 5 minutes to organise and arrange. People never believed me and have often made comments on the day when it's seen to be true that they thought I was exaggerating! This 3-5 minutes is an excellent average number for tallying images up and figuring out how long you want to spend on them. I strongly recommend at most six official family ones* and that you write them for yourself, not let them be dictated by what you think your family would like. These images can quickly eat up your time between ceremony and dinner if the list is too extensive, and I know you'd prefer to enjoy your canapes and time with guests.So now it's your turn; please take and rename the list below . X&Y are symbols for your names. Please replace them with your initials. Give a copy to helpful groomsman, bridesmaid , friend, or family member-on the day; they will be in charge of making sure people are rounded up and sent to a location deemed best on the day, meaning we can continue snapping candids until everyone is there. Bridesmaids and groomsmen's photos will be taken separately after these if applicable. As mentioned, If you don't want any family formals at all, that's absolutely fine. Please type "No Formals" Below. 1.X&Y + X Dad, X Mum 2.X&Y + X Dad, X Mum, X Siblings, X Grandparents 3.X&Y + X Dad, X Mum, X Siblings, X siblings partners/children 4.X&Y + Y Dad, Y Mum 5.X&Y + Y Dad, Y Mum, Y Siblings, Y Grandparents 6.X&Y + Y Dad, Y Mum, Y Siblings, Y siblings partners/children

Give this list to made of honour, ushers whoever will be in charge of them and gathering required people around.

Couples photos

So, I always make my couple’s portraits optional! There’s no performance pressure from me for these, I really want you to be yourselves with each other and only aim to give some gentle guidance and direction if needed to make it as non-weird and hopefully as fun as possible!I also get many people who prefer a 100% documentary approach, do not want these photos from their day, and would prefer to skip them altogether. I’m happy to take either approach and want to capture your day in a way that feels authentic to you. It’s great to know what you would like ahead of the day so we’re on the same page, and I can ensure I am not asking you to participate in something that isn’t for you.

Please let me know your preference?

We would like a few gently guided photos of us alone as a couple at some point during the day

We would prefer a 100% documentary approach and would like to forgo these

We would love to be asked on the day, so we can make a judgment call on how we feel in the moment

Party Time

Please make sure DJ or Band is not using lasers as these burn through our sesnors damaging cameras. We wouldn’t be able to photograph.

What time is your first dance and what song is it?

Any other special dances?

DJ or Band?

Lastly – your lovely suppliers

Teamwork make dreamwork. I know so many people you’ve worked hard with to build your day, and I want to ensure I can tag and share images with all your lovely suppliers. So let me know who has done what. Instagram handles are ideal but just names are great too.If any of your suppliers ask you for images directly please refer them back to me for them so I can ensure they understand the usage T’s & C’s
