Or What to expect
during you day with Timeless
(This is a typical day for us, please keep in mind,
we do cover weddings that
are unlike the one described)
You wake up the morning of your
wedding, you look out side and decide
it’s a beautiful day for a wedding. Your thoughts run from a beautiful day,
to getting dressed, to I hope everyone is on time, to
OH MY GOD OUR PHOTOGRAPHER IS GOING TO BE HERE ANY MINUTE!!!
Relax you're in good hands! I would like to give you a quick overview
of how we handle your wedding day.
One of the things we at Timeless do that is different from most photographers is to visit the grooms house. We have found, over the years that trying to get the photos of the guys at the church, on many occasions, difficult to complete thoroughly. The guys are never on time (ladies, they always blame the girls don't they). The Priest, Minister or Clergy wants the Groom hidden, family and friend want to say hello (which I'll not interfere with), so our time with the guys would always get cut short, and we would need to catch up later in the day. So... we began to visit the guys first ( ladies, it's easier for the guys to relax in a jacket then for you in a wedding dress).
Working with his family and bridal party, finishing with him.
You'll also notice a second photographer.
This is where the photojournalistic
approach comes in. Don't pay any attention to the person behind the
camera, just let her do
her thing.
I work with the guys in a relaxed, slightly casual manner. (He is nervous enough, he doesn’t need me to make it worse!)
I’ve been told on several occasions that my calmness during the day
has made the day much more relaxed and easier than expected.
We like to arrive a the guys
house about 1 hour before we need to arrive at the brides house.
We arrive at the bride's house about two hours prior to the ceremony start time
(depending on drive time to the ceremony).
I usually finish the family and Bridesmaids portraits first so we can concentrate the bride.
(Remember, second photographer).
I like to use several camera and lighting techniques to give your
portraits a uniqueness.
I usually spend about 1 ¼ hours with the family, bridal party, and bride.
I then leave you with plenty of time to relax, and refresh before the ceremony.
(Please eat something before leaving do not go to the church on an empty
stomach!)
Once we arrive at the ceremony site, I speak to your priest, minister or clergy
to discuss any details I may not already be aware of.
The bride arrives in grand fashion.
Just a few shots getting out of the car and into the church.
It’s time to get married. The ceremony is handled discretely.
We know where we need to be when we need to be there. The rest of the time we're in
the back, napping
(just kidding) (remember, journalistic through out the day). Once the ceremony is over I like to take care of family photos after your
receiving line.
This is a "captive audience" situation. Meaning your family is all in
one place at one time,
let’s get them done so they can move on and not worry about more photos.
A few more shots leaving the church and getting into the cars, and off to your
photo location (there's that journalistic photographer again).
Again I work with the bridal party first, mixing the group around and having a
little fun
with the bridal party, and bride and groom. We finish with the bride and groom.
Again, there are several camera, and lighting techniques I like to use.
I love natural light, and using the surroundings to enhance your portraits.
We usually spend about 45 minutes at your photo location.
(Remember,
never mind, you know what I'm going to say about the journalistic photography,
so I wont say anything about the journalistic photography). Then to the reception.
At the reception you will be able to enjoy your cocktail hour,
since we have finished all formal portraits.
Relax and enjoy. It’s almost time to party!
The reception is really everything as it happens, your entrance, first dance,
and toast. Formal and informal shots, (more journalistic). The rest of the time is devoted to candid
shots,
(you know chicken dance, crazy relatives, Etc.), we shoot a lot of candid photos.
The important times would be parent dances, garter & bouquet toss,
and cake smashing, (just kidding again!). We are also with you until the party is
over,
when your band or DJ says good-bye, that is when we go.
You should plan at least 3 to 3 1/2 hours between the ceremony start time and cocktail
hour.
This should allow you to reach your cocktail hour as it is starting.
You should be able to enjoy the entire hour not just part.
There it is, your day in a nutshell. For more information call or
