Define your must-have wedding photos
From your first make-up as a bride and groom to those very last dance steps on the dance floor, what a flood of emotions all day and night long! So many moments of intense beauty and you experience them all in just a few hours. So take some time together with your fiancé to decide which wedding photos should be part of your collection.
"Always ask in advance if you can view the photographer's entire galleries. The work that can be found on Instagram and on the website is of course the very best the photographer has made. However, as a couple you would like to have an idea of what a full day of photography exactly looks like,‘ Elisabeth of Elisabeth van Lent Photography offers as a tip.
Capture the locations
Now that you have decided which wedding photos should undoubtedly appear in your wedding album, it is time to plan the shooting locations. Make it easy on yourself and choose obvious places, such as the place where your ceremony, reception or evening party will take place. However, if you have always dreamed of a wedding shoot in the forest, at the beach or in that historic castle, then follow your heart fully but plan enough time for the moves.
Communicate with the photographer
Good communication with your photographer is much needed. Discuss in detail your must have wedding photos and pay attention to the special nature of the locations. Your photographer is a professional who will take a realistic look at your planning. After all, he or she knows better than anyone how much time needs to be counted exactly to make your dream photos come true. Is the planning getting a bit tight? Then go back to step one and update that planning!
Spread the word
Is the final timeline for your wedding photos set? Then it's time to make it known to everyone. Start with the closest friends and family who will be seen in many pictures. They are most likely also extremely curious about the exact arrangements on your wedding day. Personalise your wedding invitation with the timeline and send it to your loved ones. That way, they are informed immediately! Leave it to your wedding planner to work out all the details.
One last golden tip
Take your time. A wedding day is incredibly tiring in itself. Save yourself extra stress by planning enough time for the various events. The last thing you want is to have to rush during your romantic photo shoot because family photos are already scheduled. Enjoy every moment extensively!
