DAY/S BEFORE THE WEDDING DAY PREP

Both

• DO, Drink lots of water daily - helps achieve a nice glow
• DO AVOID any alcohol or salt rich food close to your wedding date - you don't want to look swollen
• Moisturize daily, this will help with your skin prep for makeup as well as your photos.
• Nails clean and or manicured
• Hair cut, hair style figured out and shave if wanted or needed.

Practice 

• If you have a ring bearer/flower girl practice their walk
• Walking a short distance as if you are walking down an aisle
• Get your bridal party to practice walking as well, remind them to look at the camera and keep smiling.
• Stop at the pretend altar
• Depending on your ceremony type - If standing do practice turning at the altar to face one another, not the priest.
• Practice putting rings on one another at the pretend altar - slow pace (we move at your pace)

DAY OF - CEREMONY DECOR

If venue does not supply the décor these are things to note:

1. There will be a person helping or in charge of your décor if you have not outsourced it or have a wedding planner/coordinator. Have all decorations in your helpers vehicle ready for them to leave with the décor and to set up the venue before your arrival (some venues allow the day before). Let them know how you want it. This should be the last thing on your mind and not for you to worry about.
2. If you would like to double check the décor preparations before your ceremony we can make adjustments to our schedule breakdown

DAY OF - CEREMONY

Things to note:

1. During the entire ceremony, don’t forget to smile
2. Before you walk down the aisle, make yourself proper, double check you have the rings (if you don’t have a ring bearer), your tie and collar are straight, makeup doesn’t need to be touched up, veil is set up properly, POCKETS are empty
3. Walk slowly up the aisle
4. Walk slowly down the aisle - dip
5. Once you reach the altar, make sure your backs are not to the crowd, look/face one another. Note: it's extremely cute when you are looking at one another and smiling.
6. Bride or Groom - check each other out, we move at your pace, if the bride needs help with her gown or veil help her . Even a simple mouthing of compliments goes a long way.
7. When putting on the rings, breathe and take it slow, I will be capturing this moment and your reactions
8. Seal it with a kiss moment - feel free to take your time and cherish this moment. You may be nervous or everything may be a blur. Breathe, look at one another, smile, kiss, dip kiss. The possibility is endless at this moment.
9. When walking are we doing something simple mid way like a kiss or something else if or if not smile be happy! 

DAY OF - AFTER CEREMONY - PORTRAIT SESSION

Things to note:

1. Confirm who will be attending the after ceremony portraits.
2. preferably the maid of honor and best man who has been notified ahead of time that the photographers will need there help.. Most possible if anything more so with the carrying of the bouquet, veil, gown, etc. list of people in the photos and gathering them for the next set of photos
3. Try NOT to start drinking before this. Please be mindful that I have captured weddings where this has been done and some people are just not able to adjust to it. If you are please make sure to eat but also be mindful have a glass or less
4. Confirm any special photos that want to be done.
5. Please have your veil and bouquet with you at all moments.
6. Have any other miscellaneous details you would like
