HOW TO PLAN YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY SCHEDULE

Take the ceremony start time as the first milestone and arrange time for previous events. Then take the end of the ceremony as the final milestone and arrange time for subsequent events. And if your ceremony is held outdoors, don't forget to check what time the sun will set that day! (Just enter that date + sunset time on Google and you're done!)

GET YOUR CLOTHES AND JEWELERY READY

Normally, you should adjust your clothes and accessories about 30 minutes before arriving at the ceremony location. If you want some pictures during the pre-wedding preparations, please plan for me to arrive 1 to 1.5 hours before the ceremony and negotiate with the parties involved (makeup, hair, etc.) .) to ensure the progress of the ceremony.

If both of you are going to be in the same place, I will spend about 2 hours taking photos alternating between the two of you. If your "partner" is somewhere else, plan a time of about 45 minutes to 1 hour to spend with them before stopping by where you're getting ready. Remember that that includes travel time!

ABOUT THE WEDDING

Include travel time between where you get ready and the ceremony location. Note that when guests arrive, they can chat and interact with you within the first 5 minutes, and don't forget to make time for hugs and kisses with relatives and friends.

My advice is to spend about 45 – 60 minutes meeting and welcoming guests!

FAMILY PHOTOS

Most group photos always bring a lot of keepsake value, and posing for wedding day photos with many people takes quite a bit of time. So it would be better if we do this step after the ceremony or before the party.

You can spend 20 - 30 minutes to save memorable group photos with friends and relatives after the ceremony!

COUPLE IMAGES AND WEDDING SPACE

How much time you spend taking ceremony photos and taking photos in the banquet hall is up to you. For couples holding outdoor weddings, lighting is an important factor to consider when planning. The ideal time is about 1 - 1.5 hours before sunset. However, this is only a theory, in reality this will not always happen smoothly and conveniently. So don't hesitate to discuss with me so we can come up with the most suitable plan for your wedding.

If we have taken photos of the bride and groom in the wedding hall before the guests arrive, and you don't want too many photos during the party, I would suggest spending about 15 - 20 minutes taking photos. around the wedding party with the two of you.

As you know, I really see the couple meeting as an opportunity for you to have a private moment as a couple. At the very least – we need 20 – 30 minutes, but we can relax a little more and have a more comfortable workout in about 40 minutes. All up to you! We can also see how you feel during the day!

If you two are having the party somewhere else – don't forget to factor in travel time too!

PARTY FOR GUESTS ON BOTH PARTIES

If your ceremony and party locations are in the same location, we will need about 1.5 hours from the end of the wedding ceremony to the time of the party to take photos of you and guests on both sides, as well as a little time. space to relax and chat with guests.

During this time, I will also try to capture photos of table settings, guest interactions, and related scenes such as eating and chatting. If you want to spend more time doing this, incorporate some small games to capture more interactive moments between you and the surrounding guests.

Depending on the food preparation and entertainment activities, the time will be more flexible. However, my advice is that you should spend 1.5 hours to be able to photograph the entire meal and have more time to listen to the blessings from relatives and friends on both sides.

CAKE CUTTING, POUR THE WINE AND DANCE TOGETHER

I always recommend doing all of these at once! It will help attract the attention of guests, as well as make it easier to immerse yourself in the party space. If you do not choose the "unlimited time" package, I will spend about 15-20 minutes capturing these moments.

Thanks for believing in me enough to click through the page and to read these words; for considering me as a part of your big day; for choosing me as the one taking your moments and keeping them in frames; and the most, for believing in love.
