Timing an Essential Ingredient for great wedding photography
Every couple wants to have great photographs on their wedding day. To accomplish this it is important that you run on time!!!!!
To achieve great wedding photographs Newcastle photographer Petti Anastasi says…” time has to be on our side…to work out the best lighting in the current location and establish what shots will be done at that particular time, as well as leaving enough time to capture all the formalities as well as the more relaxed images”
To help with your planning remember:
- Make sure you leave ample time for hair and make-up to be done. If your hairdresser or make-up artist is not given enough time this affects the whole day. Petti Anastasi say’s……..”When your photographer arrives your hair and makeup must be finished….especially the brides!”
- Allow 20 minutes for getting into your dress….especially if it has a lace up back or tons of buttons!!!
- Have an itinerary of how the day will proceed….and stick to it!!
- Allow 15 – 20 minutes for formal family photographs.
- Keep in mind that travel time must be incorporated into how long your location shoot will go for. It is wise to use locations within close proximity of your Ceremony and Reception.
Stick to the above guidelines and your photographer will have a better chance of getting plenty of images!!!
