How to make the most out of your wedding photo shoot/video shoot

We understand that wedding photography and wedding videography can be a substantial investment. This is why, we absolutely love to be with you throughout the day to make sure we capture every little detail, every picture, and every perfect moment. On your special day, we try to use our time as efficiently as possible, giving you the most bang for your buck.

These are some things you should always consider before your wedding day:

• The type of photo or video shoot you want;
• The possibility of combining wedding photography and videography;
• The duration of the shoot – the most popular packages are 3 to 5 hours;
• Important highlights, such as the preparations, ceremony, or reception.

PEOPLE EATING, YES OR NO?

Keep in mind that people might be eating during the reception of your wedding. This means that we might need to direct our attention elsewhere. While eating is a must, it might not be the most important moment you want to capture.

NO LADIES FIRST THIS TIME

We always do a few preparation shots with the groom first because they don’t take as much time as their soon to be wives. While we’re taking shots of the groom, the bride still has a little extra time to do a final touch up on her make-up.

It is recommended to have everything arranged before you get into your dress! For a 5-hour booking we normally don’t use a make-up artist, but we don’t say no to some so-called ‘fake-up’ shots. In these pictures, the bride and her bridesmaids pretend to put on make-up so we can capture a photo of that.

THINK ABOUT THAT SWEET SUNSET!

When you are working on the schedule for your wedding day, make sure to keep in mind when the sun is setting! A 5-hour photography booking will usually cover this moment. On the other hand, a 3-hour booking can either start from 6pm until 8pm, covering the ceremony, portraits, and all the formal activities during the reception. Don’t worry, we can stick around until 9pm so we can catch some dance moves and guarantee some of our best work!
