  • The Important Stuff...

  • How do you want your guests to feel? What look are you going for? What elements, people, or details are most important to you? What did you put the most time into planning? What are you most excited about?
  • What is most important to you? We always capture a variety of candids, details, portraits, and posed bridal party/family portraits. However, it's nice to know which photography style(s) speak to you most so that we can make photography decisions to suite your presences throughout the day.
  • If so, please bring all components of your wedding invitations/stationary on your wedding day.

  • THE DAY'S ACTIVITIES

    We make every effort possible to capture all the shots requested on a wedding day. However we can’t guarantee that we will capture them all, as weddings are exciting and at times can be unpredictable. That's why it's so important for us to know about specific shots you have in mind! We'll bring this information with us on your wedding day to be sure we're focused on what matters most to the two of you. Please read the ACTIVITY DESCRIPTIONS below for the shots we will always be looking to capture, and add any additional photo requests to the provided text boxes. *There will be a space following the day's activities for you to plan your group photos.

  • If time permits and you're not participating in an important wedding day moment, Mathew may tap you on the shoulder during your reception to snap some gorgeous golden hour and/or sunset bride/bride images (this normally takes about 15 minutes.) However, if this isn't important to you, we don't want to steal you away from your festivities.

  • Group Photos

    We estimate that each family/bridal party grouping takes about 3 minutes, if everyone is waiting for their turn near the photo location. Most group photos are taken just AFTER the ceremony, though some couples will take bridal party photos just BEFORE the ceremony, especially if they're opting for a first look. *We suggest that you let family members know to stick around after the ceremony before your wedding day. That way, we can move through group photos nice and quickly.

  • :

  • Family Formals

    We ask that you provide us with the name of a person that can help us to identify people on the lists as we don't know exactly who everyone is.
  • :
  • Ie: family members listed above who won't be in attendance, are deceased, or who would prefer not to stand near each other. (We want to make sure everyone is comfortable on your wedding day!)

  • Vendors

    We work closely with all of your vendors and greatly appreciate their contact information

  • Wedding Day Talk-through

    Please provide two dates and preferred times that you are available for a phone call to talk through your questionnaire. We'll talk through your wedding day to be sure we have all of your requests and logistics. This should take 20-30 minutes. Generally, weekday evenings or weekend mornings are best for us.
