BRIDE + GROOM INFORMATION SHEET

**BEFORE YOU START you should know that you can click “Save and Submit” at any time and save your work. You can always add more or edit this questionnaire by visiting your account.**

This first section is just basic information about the wedding day! Here are a few tips to know beforehand:

1. When possible, make sure there is natural light in the room where the bride will be getting ready (window light). This makes a WORLD of difference in your images! Promise!

2. Please try to have all bridal details together before the photographer arrives. (Dress, jewelry, shoes, bouquet, garter, veil, etc) This will make the detail shots much faster!

3. Keep the area near the window free of trash, bags, snacks, etc. This will be where the bride will be putting on her dress! We don’t need any Aquafina bottles in our bridal portraits  : ) 

4. Allow more time than you think you need to get ready! It’s better to be safe than RUSHED! 

5. Relax and have fun! You’re getting MARRIED!!

Where should I arrive first? (where is the BRIDE getting ready, actual address please)
Where is the GROOM getting ready and what time will he be arriving at that location? 
Please list addresses to the CEREMONY and RECEPTION locations
What time will the bride arrive at the ceremony location?
What time have we decided that I should start shooting?
Based on the coverage time you have purchased and our starting time, what time will we be ending our coverage?
Will you be doing any type of "EXIT" from your reception?
If there is travel time to and from your different venues, please include that time so I am aware of it, thanks!
TIMELINE: Can you provide me with a timeline of the wedding day? If you're sharing a FIRST LOOK, I will need to start shooting bridal details at least 2.5 hours before the ceremony. 3 hours is recommended if there is no travel time between venues. If you're working with a planner, they can forward this information to me if that's easier. Email me if we need to go over this together! I'd love to help!

If you are sharing a first look, are you wanting it to be private or allow family/friends to watch? I want to honor your request the best I can.

Do you want to share a first look with anyone else besides your fiancé? (with a dad or mom?) 
For DETAIL SHOTS it is incredibly helpful to have those items set aside all together, so I can photograph them quickly right at the beginning. Couples usually include bride's & groom's shoes, bouquet, boutonnière, jewelry, watch, full invitation suite, all 3 rings, dress, veil. Please mark what additional items you will include (so I can plan ahead)
If you marked "OTHER" above, please describe here
How many Bridesmaids (including Maid of Honor) or attendants to Partner 1?
How many Groomsmen (including Best Man) or attendants to Partner 2?
Names of Maid of Honor and Best Man?
How many guests are you expecting at your wedding?
What are your wedding COLORS? This helps as I prepare to shoot your details. 
List any key details you want to make sure I don't miss (besides the obvious reception and ceremony decor)
What is your wedding hashtag?
Honeymoon location
WEDDING VENDOR INFORMATION

This information is important in the event of an emergency on the wedding day & it is also needed if your wedding is submitted for publication (magazines or blogs). When submitting to any publication, they will need all of your vendor information.

Please complete whatever information applies to your wedding! Little details are the best! ex: your necklace was your GREAT grandmothers that she wore on her wedding day! When I KNOW these details, I can make sure that I capture everything that has sentimental value to you!

FAMILY FORMALS

Family formals do not have to take over 20 minutes. However, we can only shoot these portraits quickly if we plan in advance. Please list ten different groupings for family photos.

For example:
1. Bride and groom with parents.
2. Bride and Groom with grandparents. 3. Bride and Groom with siblings.

Within these groupings, you can have more than one shot (ex. B&G with Grooms parents, B&G with Brides Parents, etc.)

If you have a very large family and more than 10 group photos, I suggest saving some of the extended family shots until the reception so that family portrait time will not interfere with your romantic portraits and you will not keep your guests waiting at the reception.

Please inform me of any family members that may not get along and/or may not want to be grouped with a certain other family members so that we can avoid and awkward interactions during family formals:)

Thank you!!

Please list 10 Family Groupings for Family Portraits:(Please include names so that I can call family members by their first name as we organize the portraits) EX: B&G with Bride’s Parents (Kevin & Brenda) ALSO, please specify if there are STEP PARENTS and STEP SIBLINGS involved in portraits.

Are there any divorces or separations that I should be aware of during family formals? Any family situations I should be aware of ?

Are there any RULES or REGULATIONS for photographers at your ceremony location?

Is there anything I should be aware of on the wedding day? Surprises? Gifts? Etc?

What address should I use after the wedding? And can I use this address BEFORE the wedding, if needed?

YOU'RE FINISHED!
Great job, and I really appreciate you taking the time to fill me in on all the details that help make your day and images amazing!!
