Wedding Photography Worksheet

Wedding Photography Worksheet

This form is used for getting an idea of what shots will be taken during your wedding day. It also collects information about the member of your family and wedding party. The more information that you include in the form with lesson the probability of surprises on your wedding day and help me to plan out what shots that I will need to take and how long to plan on for shooting your formal photo session. This will also help you think about any special shots or locations that you may want to mention to me so we can plan a block of time to photograph any special photos at those locations. Please feel free, at the end of the form, to ask any questions that you may have regarding your wedding day photography.

Best Regards,
Chad J. Carlson

SHOT LIST

Pre-Ceremony

Typically I shoot all the pre-ceremony shots in a photo-journalistic manner...captureing moments candidly as they happen. At times I will "pose" you if an opportunity arises.
Sometimes due to location and time constraints this is not always possible so I request that you check yes or no if you would like me to shoot both the bride and groom as they are getting ready.
