Your wedding is possibly the most memorable day of your life and you deserve to remember it forever, just like it was yesterday. That means planning now, while it’s still in the future. Your wedding photographs are a reflection of your selves, your love, and your commitment. They will hang in your home for the rest of your life and be passed down to your children and theirs.

I can provide you with a completely personalized solution for your wedding photographs but to make things easier on you to start, here are some questions that you might want to think about so that I know better what you’re looking for.

• Where would you like to have your pictures taken?
  This is possibly the most important decision for you to make. Wedding photographs are almost always taken outdoors, regardless of the weather. That means that scenery selection is extremely important. Some popular locations include Bowring Park, Topsail Beach, Cape Spear, and Signal Hill. You are completely free to choose any location that you think suits your style and I can provide suggestions. It’s also good to have a few alternative locations in mind, just in case the weather does not cooperate and umbrellas and coats are necessary.
• Who would you like in the pictures?
  There are some standard shots that everyone has done – bride & groom, bridesmaids, groomsmen, parents, and siblings. Beyond that, though, the possibilities are endless. There is no limit to what can be done but your wedding day will run far more smoothly if you have a list of what you would like to achieve on the photograph side of things, rather than playing it by ear. Again, I can help with your list but, like everything that day, it’s up to you.
• Preparation is important but is it preserved?
  Your wedding is one day but there are many days of preparation leading up to it. From parties to dinners and engagement to rehearsal, how much of your wedding preparation would you like captured on film for the future?
• To stage or not to stage?
  It’s important to prepare but is it important to stage pictures? Some couples prefer to have photographer-directed moments through the wedding day — cake cutting, first dance, posed kisses, etc — while others would rather ignore the pictures and leave the result to chance. Either way is perfectly fine but it’s an important decision to make beforehand.
