Questionnaire for your wedding photography

Many couples often experience panic and forget important details on their big day, and that's completely normal. To help me understand your wedding better and to prevent any avoidable issues, I've created this questionnaire for all couples.

I appreciate you taking the time to complete it, and thank you once again for choosing me. I’m truly excited for your special day!

Date of Wedding or Elopement

Ceremony Name + Address

What time does the ceremony begin?

Reception Name + Address

What time does the cocktail hour begin (if applicable)? And the reception begin?

Are there any rules or regulations for photographers at your ceremony + reception location? Please note if you are getting married in a National Park, we will work on the permit process together.

Would you both like getting ready photos? Would you like to get ready together?

Where will you two be getting ready at? (If applicable)

Would you like a first look? Highly recommend for those wanting more time together and added special moments between just the two of you.

Golden Hour, or an hour before sunset, is the best time for portraits since the sun light is the softest and warmest. Would you like to use this time (about 10 - 15 minutes) to take portraits? Also, highly recommend!

How adventurous would you like to get during your couples portrait time? Does adventuring around a field, playfully chasing each other, snuggling on a blanket sound good to you? Or would you prefer minimal walking and not so much cuddling?

What are the most important things you want to remember from your wedding day?

Any tidbits I should know about your wedding day? Such as special traditions, anything unique you're doing or things you'd like me to capture?

What formal family group portraits would you like?

Bride + Groom with Bride's Parents

Bride + Groom with Bride's Immediate Family

Bride + Groom with Bride's Grandparents

Bride + Groom with Groom's Parents

Bride + Groom with Groom's Immediate Family

Bride + Groom with Groom's Grandparents

Bride + Groom with Bride + Groom's Immediate Families

Are family photos or group photos are must take photos? Please list them below example: (A + B with B's Parents)

*Each group will take around 3 minutes per photo to gather everyone. The best recommendation is to have no more than 10 groupings (this includes the ones chosen above).

Are there any family situations I should be privy to, such as divorces/separations/deaths, during family portraits?

Do you have a wedding party? If so, how many on each side?

If you have a Wedding Party, who is your go-to person on each side?

How many wedding guests will you be expecting?

Anything you think I should know to be able to better photograph you two, your families, or your friends? (Bring champagne, make jokes, let you do your thing, give lots of direction, etc.)

Do you have a Wedding Planner? If so, please drop below their name, phone and email

If you have a videographer, please drop below their name, phone and email. I like to reach out to them before the wedding so we can work together more seamlessly.

Do you have any specific events or surprises planned that I might need to know about in advance (eg. sparklers, private dance etc)

Any songs that will be part of your day? Why did you choose them?
