How to get the best from your Wedding Photographer: Once you have chosen a qualified and experienced wedding photographer whom you feel you will be at ease with on your wedding day, then the next most important thing to consider in getting great wedding photos is planning the time frames for your wedding day. Plan accurately the time frames from the start. What times are your hair and make up appointments? Ask your hairdresser and make up artist what time they need to start to get you all ready on time. Leave yourself some breathing space, time for lunch if necessary before your photographer arrives. If your photographer is coming to your house before you depart for the ceremony then he/she will need between a half hour and a full hour with you depending on how many bridesmaids and family members will be there that you will want to be photographed with. When working out what times the ceremony and reception should start, Raewyn always says allow an hour for the ceremony and family group photos and then allow another hour for the photos of the bridal party on location, plus add on the travel time from ceremony to photo location and photo location to reception venue. Be aware that if you are held up at the hairdressers or at home that your ceremony will start late and if your reception is to start on time then it is the photography time that gets compromised. For the wedding couples Raewyn works with she always discusses the time frames in detail beforehand to make sure that enough time is budgeted for everything the couple wants.
