Pre-Wedding Info!

A couple thing to consider:

Getting Ready

When you're thinking about where you're going to be getting ready for your wedding, consider options that will have great light and back grounds for photos.  Often hotel rooms can feel pretty cramped and get messy quickly. Airbnb's or family homes are great places to get ready. Salons also sometimes have great large spaces for bigger groups getting ready. 
 

Family photos

I always try to suggest locations for family photos nearby the rest of the wedding so we can let people leave as they are done. Sometimes couples have bigger plans for these photos though, and that is always welcome. If you want to have everyone out to your favorite lighthouse or walk down by the water, we will make it work! Please let me know if you have specific requests about family photo locations, otherwise I'll suggest somewhere at your venue. 

 

Photos of the two of you

There are generally two parts of the day we'll do photos of the two of you. The first is either when you do a first look (if you want to - up to you!) or when we do photos with your family. If you don't want to spend more than the 15-20 minutes doing this, we can stop there. But the majority of the time we will also dip out of the party for 10 minutes at sunset.  I really, really encourage setting aside some time at sunset. I find people are super relaxed and appreciate being able to step out together and enjoy a few minutes alone. As you're planning your schedule check when sunset is and try not to have dances or speeches right at the same time if possible so we can take advantage of the best light!

The month before your wedding

I will be in touch with you 3-4 weeks for before your wedding so we can set up a time to go over your wedding info and timeline. Below is a form for you to fill out before we have that call. If you'd prefer to fill it out gradually as you're planning, please just copy and paste the form into an email or word doc and send to me when you're down. If your planner has asked for similar info, please feel free to just share with me the timeline you've created with them, and ignore those parts below. Send all timelines/questions/photos you love/inspiration to me  - Leah@leahfisher.com
