Wedding shoots begin at the start of the day, I spend time with the bride and her bridal party taking photos of them getting ready. After I spend time with the groom and his groomsmen doing the same giving me time to capture real candid moments.
The staged photos can be done before or after the ceremony. I do request a list of photos that the couple want taken, and who they want them taken with. I also request a meeting in advance to go over shot lists to ensure that I get all the photos the bride and groom will want.
