    The Wedding

    Preparations

    "Make sure to get ready in a calm, well-lit environment (ideally with natural light or near windows) and with enough space. For the bride, plan about 1h to 1h30 for hairstyling, 45 minutes for makeup, and 30 minutes to put on your beautiful dress. It's also recommended to take a moment to eat. If possible, add an extra 40 minutes to your schedule to handle unexpected events such as your best friend asking for repeated advice on her shoes, an anxious mother, or a call from your brother finalizing the ceremony details. Better to plan extra time to stay relaxed rather than increase stress on your big day. Inform those helping you get ready that they should be ready before you to ensure better photos, avoiding shots of bridesmaids in pajamas or groomsmen in underwear 🙂. Finally, place your outfits, invitations, accessories, bouquet, boutonnieres, and rings in an easy-to-spot location so I can photograph them without disturbing you while you get pampered. Elegant hangers will make your outfits look even better than plastic ones."

    Ceremonies

    Please specify if the secular ceremony is outdoors.

    "Tip: Make sure to inform the priest officiating your wedding that a professional photographer (super nice^^) is covering your event. Some priests have restricted my movements or prohibited me from photographing readers. I always introduce myself before the ceremony, but it’s best if you communicate in advance that you wish for me to work freely without disruption. Thank you!"

    Couple Photos

    "Plan about 30 minutes for your couple session, which is not only an opportunity for stunning images but also a precious moment of intimacy. During this pause, you can relax and escape the wedding buzz for a bit. Ideally, the best time for these photos is during the Golden Hour, just before sunset, for the most beautiful light. However, depending on your schedule, this may not be possible. We can start with a first session when it fits your timeline, then plan a second 15-minute session just before dinner to take advantage of the best lighting."

    Group Photos

    "Here’s a tip to optimize the session: designate a friend or family member who knows the guests well. This person can help gather and organize the key people for group photos quickly, saving us valuable time and making the process smoother and more enjoyable for everyone."

    The witnesses/bridesmaids/groomsmen count as one group, though we’ll take plenty of photos with them, don't worry!

    "Adjust your response if it's a buffet or a non-seated dinner."

    Party Time!! - First Dance

    Are you planning confetti cannons or sparkling fountains for your first dance?

    "For the best photo effect, a minimum of 8 confetti cannons is recommended."
