Detail images! This is the first thing I do when I arrive. I want to make this as easy as possible for you because most likely you will be getting hair and make-up done or doing something very important. In fact, I don't want you to think of me while you're getting ready at all. This is your time to sit and relax and take in everything that's to come of your big day! Of course, I will snap candids of you getting ready. But, if you could have 2 boxes or shoeboxes full accessories/heirlooms. One for the Bride, filled with your jewelry/accessories, both Bride and Grooms rings, wedding invitation, wedding shoes, etc. and One for the Groom filled with his watch/accessories, shoes, boutineer, bow tie/regular tie, etc. Thanks in advance! **Also, for detail images of your wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses, make sure you have a custom fancy hanger. I have found that a plastic hanger does not work with these types of images nor does the wedding dress justice.

This is very important. Please use this area to list each family grouping (using names/relationship to you) that you would like during your family formals time after the ceremony. This list will help make things go very smoothly and will keep everyone organized. We will use this list to call out each group of family members to get them ready for their photo. We recommend making two lists for each side of the family. It's very helpful if you assign someone who knows
