Timeline of your day
We help you plan the events of your day to ensure their is enough time for photos.
Shot list
We will send you a template shot list to help you tell us the family photos you would like. For some couples these photos are an important part of the day, for others they would rather more natural photos so the group list is kept quite small. We will discuss with you your preference and timings.
Pre-wedding call, just before your day to finalise details
Some couples book their wedding photography with us up to 2 years before their wedding day, so times and details may change. We go through all the details and timings before the wedding day to ensure we have all the current information.
We will be with you for your bridal preparations two hours before you are due to leave for your ceremony. This gives us time to photograph the details, like your shoes, dress, flowers and to capture the finishing touches of your hair and make up.
During the ceremony we try to be as unobtrusive as possible and capture events as they unfold. After your ceremony we give your guests time to congratulate you and enjoy drinks before moving into the family photos.
We try not to take you away from your guests for too long to take photos of just the two of you, so with this in mind we spread your photos throughout the day. This way we get to make the most of the changing light.
Throughout the day we are always capturing moments between you and your guests, often the moments you don’t see!
We take our break while you and your guests are eating, after all no one wants photos with their mouths full! We photograph the speeches, then our coverage continues until your first dance, after that we leave you to dance the night away.
Enjoy your honeymoon while we edit your photos, our normal turn around is about two weeks, although this may be longer in peak times.
You are invited back to Blackheath for a champagne screening of your photos. You will take home your edited photos on a personalised usb.
