The first thing I want to know is, what’s most important to you when you think about your wedding day. Picture yourself as the art director for photos from your wedding, or just give us an idea of the perfect wedding day experience that you have in mind.

Next, if there are any sensitive family issues I should be aware of, please list them. I want to know which family members don’t get along, and any divorced or deceased immediate family members, or just anything in particular that we should know in advance.

Have you considered doing a first look? Are you into this modern popular trend or would you rather stick to tradition? The advantages of a first look are; getting photographs done earlier on the day when the hair and makeup is at its best in a manner that is less rushed than post ceremony, having more time for a wider variety of portraits. Also, you’ll have more time to mingle with guests during cocktail hour if that’s important to you. Yes let's do a First Look with a full Portrait Set afterwardsLet's just do a quick First Look without the full portrait set afterwardsWe are on the fence regarding the First LookWe've decided not to do a First Look
