Guidelines & Definitions

Guidelines

Often there are special photography guidelines from the church/wedding venue. (For example, many catholic churches do not allow the use of a flash or photos of certain rituals.) This is an extremely important question. PLEASE do not assume the answer to this question. Most couples assume there are no restrictions when there actually are. The best person to ask is the actual person performing the ceremony. It is important to know them ahead of time so we can discuss how they might affect your pictures.

Our Definitions

Candid/photojournalistic: This avoids posed or prompted shots and captures the spontaneity of your wedding day. Moments are not created- they are captured. Photojournalism shows you the joy, emotion, & spontaneity of the day. Photographs are simple & immediate. An instant of life captured on film.

Formal Posed Photography: Individuals or groups of people are set up by the photographer in formal poses. The complete opposite of candid photography. This is typically the most traditional style of wedding photography and is very popular with older family members. The photos are quiet formal but are very consistent. This would include posed portraits of the bride & groom, family, wedding attendants and prompted photos of the traditional “happenings” at your wedding.

Wedding Details: A component of photojournalistic style. Captures small details that help you to truly remember the day- the beads of a dress, the swirls of frosting on the cake, the pearls on your ears, the blossoms of your flowers, artistic close ups of the rings, etc.

Natural Portraiture: These are semi-posed, natural looking, casual portraits. Individuals or groups of people are brought together without the look of a formal set-up. This style gives a more relaxed, contemporary & fun look.

Reception Meal

Since most weddings span one or even two mealtimes, you may choose to provide a meal for the photographer or have photographer leave the reception to obtain a meal. If you choose to have the photographer join your guests and you have assigned seating please assign us a table or location where we can easily get up and down to continue photography as needed.

Your VIP List

Please list people who you want to be sure to have photographs of. This list should not include bridesmaids, groomsmen or parents of the Bride & Groom. It should include people like grandparents, aunts/uncles, god parents, out of town guests… If you have specific people that you would like a photo of or with, please designate someone in the wedding party or a family member to point those individuals out to the photographer.
