Though most everyone has been to a wedding, usually several, when it comes to your own wedding, you may find, you have more questions then answers. As your photographer, I will do everything possible to help you through your special way..
During the ceremony we will take photos as the event unfolds, while being as discrete as possible.
The formals should take about 20 to 45 minutes. This time will very based on the number of people in the wedding party, the number of children involved, the number of guests trying to take photos of their own, and the general cooperation of all.
We have photo announcements, invitations, and thank you cards.
The traditional formal poses are normally taken in the sanctuary or hall where the ceremony is preformed.
Though tradition dictates that the formals are done after the service, many couples are opting to do some or all of them prior to the formal procedure. This has several advantages, of course if the couple has the traditional superstition about the groom seeing the bride before her trip done the isle; then we may need to limit that option. While the timing of the formal is the couple’s decision here are some things to consider-
*The couple seeing each other for the first time in their complete wedding attire, it is a special moment. By doing the shot before the ceremony the couple has the opportunity to express their feels more completely then they can during the formal procedure. Afterward, in the whirlwind of events, the moment may have been lost.
*By scheduling everyone to arrive early for the formals you can help ensure everyone is there and on time for the ceremony.
*The hair, makeup, clothing, and flowers are all at their freshest and will look great for the portraits.
*Being productive before the ceremony can relieve some of the stress, seeing everything is set, everyone is ready to go.
*After the service everyone will be anxious to congratulate the couple. You may feel concern about the amount of time you will spend between the service and the reception having the traditional shots done. Rushing the formals or being to stressed during them can reflect in the quality of the finished product.
Always ask how many shots will be taken. Do photos come in the package or just proofs. You can pay a photographer hundreds or thousands dollars to shoot your wedding, just find out you have to spend hundreds or thousands more just to get any finished photos. We believe our prices are some of the most competitive in Jacksonville. Quality at reasonable prices, most of our weddings are from references of previous customers.
