Wedding Questionnaire

Please use this form below to tell me as much about your day as you can. I realise that it might not be entirely relevant as every wedding is different but hopefully you can use it to let me know where people will be, and when, and what is happening! The more I know about the day in advance the better.

The idea is that I can have a comprehensive timeline so I can put together my own itinerary and ensure I am always in the right place at the right time and that your wedding photography coverage is totally awesome!

Morning Prep

Where will you be getting ready and from what time?

Please include addresses and websites if applicable, and also any necessary specific directions to find you if needed!

Who is in the bridal/groom party?

Names please, and could you give the mobile number of at least one person in each group.

Do you have any hair / make-up / anything else booked for the day?

What time are you leaving to the ceremony? How are you getting there?

Anything else I might need to know about the morning?

Will there be a videographer? If yes, please share their name & website / contact info

Any restrictions, problems, or anything else I need to know about the ceremony?

Reception

Reception Address

What are the transport plans for getting to the reception?

What are the plans / timings for the reception?

In other words, what time are things happening (hors d'oeuvres, dinner, speeches, dancing, etc.)

Will you be providing me a meal?

The only time I really stop working during the day is when you sit down to eat. Will you be providing a meal for me at this point, or do I need to sort something out?

Do you have any specific events or surprises planned that I might need to know about in advance (like cake cutting, first dance, etc.)?

What are the plans for the entertainment? And when is the curfew?

Photos

Group Photo List

Please list any specific group photo lists you want here. Obviously it is your day, and I will do my best to get all the photos you want, but keep in mind that even with the best ushering in the world it can still take 4-5 minutes to find and arrange a group of people for a photo - so try keep the numbers of shots small - no more than 5 or 6 is ideal. Example: Group 1 - Grandma Mary Jackson, Grandpa Mike Jackson, Mom Sue Jackson, and Dad Darrell Jackson.

Designated Photo Helper

It's often super helpful if you can nominate an usher/friend/bridesmaid etc (or 2!) to help arrange and corral the people for the above photos and to help keep things as smooth and quick as possible on the day. Ideally someone in the bride/grooms party who knows most of the key people and someone happy to shout and organize people! Often I'll reach out to them before the wedding to say hello and make sure they've got a copy of a list of the images we need. If you could list the ideal candidate(s) here and also their email/phone numbers - that would be great!

Other photos and info

Anything else I need to know - photos you specifically want? Portrait locations you would like to use? Family politics I might need to be aware of? Anything at all...

Suppliers Information

It is really helpful to find as much out about your suppliers as I can. Please add any suppliers instagram handles below (or just the business name if you don't know their socials) and just leave the ones out that don't apply to you.
