Hey everyone,
I am meeting an old friend of mine from high school this Thursday evening to go over the wedding photography contract and the shot list. What other sort of things do you go over at a meeting with a wedding client? I am also going to ask her to find out about any restrictions her officiator might have and where it will be held so that I can go check out the lighting beforehand.
Also, I was looking through the shot list and I know that it's good to get some shots before the ceremony starts to cut down on the amount of time it takes to do all of the posed shots between the ceremony and reception. I'm curious about when you do all the bridal shots of just the bride alone. Is there enough time to do those sort of shots before the ceremony? It just seems like it might make the bride uncomfortable to have her do a bunch of posed by herself shots with the bridal party and family looking on.
Maybe I'm asking for a generic schedule/timeframe of what you professional wedding photographers do. Can anyone walk me through what their typical wedding day is like? I'm giving this old friend a deal, but I really want to be as professional as possible with this.
Thanks in advance for any help!
