One of the most important things youcan do to lower your stress level your wedding day is to have aWedding Photography Planner filled out ahead of time. This is acritical element of creating great portrait photography at a wedding. Of course there are the usual weddinggroupings, but often there are blended families with parents andstep parents. If these configurations are clearly written out on theWedding Photography Planner, making sure to photograph thesegroupings becomes simple and eliminates potentially awkwardexplanations about which parent is with which spouse. At thewedding, my assistant will have the Photography Planner and thisallows me to concentrate on creating beautiful photographs. Also, onmy planner I have blank lines where the bride and groom can requestspecific groupings of family and friends. Some of the specialgrouping have been: aunts or uncles, cousins, co-workers,friends fromcollege, etc. When you interview potentialphotographers, ask if they have brides fill out a photo planner. Ifthey say no, find another photographer. There are many photographerswho don't make the effort to plan ahead for these important photos.Those photographers sometimes end up missing key photographs andcreating a hectic atmosphere when photographing the portraitphotographs after the ceremony. One strategy I use to help the day gosmoothly is to do many of the portrait photographs prior to theceremony. Usually I start with the groom and his parents, best manand the groomsmen. The groom then goes off somewhere else while Iphotograph the bride and the bridesmaids as well as the bridesparents. Normally I will start the portraits at least one hour priorto the ceremony. This greatly shortens the time needed for photosafter the ceremony and allows the bride and groom to quickly rejointheir guests once the portrait photos after the ceremony arecompleted.Impress upon the groomsmen howimportant it is for them to be on time. This is a gift they can giveto the bride; be there on time and it will lower her stress level. I have photographed weddings where groomsmen were late, whichresulted in throwing off the schedule of photos. Because thegroomsmen were late, we got started behind schedule doing theirphotographs with the groom and ended up not having enough time tophotograph the bride and bridesmaids prior to the ceremony. As aresult we then had to add those photos to the ones we needed to doafter the ceremony. This resulted in having to rush through thephotos so that the guests would not be standing around for too long,waiting for the bride and groom to arrive at the reception. A bride and groom will be viewing theirwedding photographs for a lifetime and they will have happiermemories of their wedding if they look relaxed and calm in theirwedding photographs because the groomsmen were at the site on timeand as a result the photography went smoothly. Designate a friend or family member tohelp gather people for the portrait photographs. This is one of thecritical strategies for having your wedding day go smoothly. Afterthe ceremony, everyone is very excited and jubilant and they want togreet and talk with relatives and friends that they haven't seen in awhile. Because there is a limited amount of time for the portraitphotographs after the ceremony it is critical that this series ofphotographs progress smoothly. Sometimes a key person that needs tobe in a group photo wanders off. This is where the person who hastaken on the job of helping to gather people plays a crucial role inhelping the photography to move along quickly and smoothly. Make sure to schedule the florist toarrive early with the flowers so that they will be there forphotographs before the ceremony. When families and friends cometogether for a wedding there is often a rare opportunity tophotograph group photos of people who may not be together in the sameplace for many years to come. With a little planning, portraitphotographs of these groupings can be easily created. These photographs become family keepsakes and are cherished for years tocome. Make sure that you do not sacrifice being able to create thesephotographs because of key people arriving late or due to poorplanning.
