We'll typically do posed photos immediately after the ceremony. We have one hour for Family Portraits, Wedding Party Portraits and the Bride & Groom's portrait. It's a lot to accomplish in just 60 minutes! Many couples have a private moment before the ceremony (The Reveal / First Sight). If you choose to go this route, we'll take the opportunity to photograph Couple's Portraits + the Wedding Party. That also means that you'll have time to enjoy 20-30 minutes of the cocktail hour.
If my subjects are having fun, I'll feed into that energy and we'll get portraits that reflect your personalities. Most of my clients just trust my direction. On the other hand, if you have the ideas then I'd love to see your Pinterest board and we'll come up with a game plan together.
If budget permits, we REALLY enjoy scheduling a couple's portrait session on a day other than the wedding. The session is reasonably priced and we'll dedicate a full two hours.
