Hello bride-to-be!
Marriage checklist
The first conversation has already taken place between us and here is another general summary/checklist wedding for you. Please take a moment to read all the dots svp.
Deposit
MIf you have not yet paid your deposit, please do so as soon as possible. ( 295 euros to NL33INGB0004706933 in the name of PEPERI please mention your names and wedding date). April through October are busy wedding months and there are more proverbial hijackers on the coast for your wedding date. The one who pays the deposit first has the date. I will try to get in touch with you in such a situation, but if this does not work out soon, it is fair from a business point of view to give the other priority.
Parking
Please keep in mind when arranging parking permits at a city hall or other wedding venue this I also have a car with me? Therefore, try to arrange an extra parking permit or someone from your family that I can ride with! It would be a shame if you have already gotten out of the car and I am still looking for a parking space in town.
Photos
- Everyone in the photo: If you have an elaborate wedding where many people are present, then not everyone may be ( close-up ) in the photo. Some visitors are masters at evading the photographer 😉 For example, pass around an empty picture frame or put some props at the entrance so I can photograph your guests with it! I can still provide you with tips on this, feel free to ask! This way you will get them more focused.
- Group photos: I am with you all the time, so I am also always ready for group photos. Of all the sweet and beautiful people present, however, I do not know anyone. So please let me know who you want on the photo and when you want it. Tip; don't make the list of group photos too long. I do not care, but the visitors are usually not happier if there are 3 A4 sheets full of combinations
- Children: Do you have children who want to be photographed during the photo shoot. Try to arrange for someone extra to look after them or take them back. Children do not have the patience as adults and are often finished after 10-15 minutes, no matter how much mom and dad want it.
- Photos at dinner: Only mood photos will be taken at the start of dinner. As a rule, I do not take pictures during dinner (or of people eating)
- During the photo shoot: It is my experience that here too, as few people as possible should be present. Of course the people who are needed may be there, children, bridesmaids, drivers... A bride and groom often feel embarrassed when the photographer asks for certain "stances" or "actions" or their eyes are not looking at the lens but at the group of people around you. Again, all this just as a tip....... not a must 😉
- Attributes: You may like to be photographed with props during the photo shoot. For example, signs with "I" and "DO," or "Mr." and "Mrs." or a blanket can be handy for sitting on the floor, for example. However, don't bring your whole household goods and don't buy the Xenos empty, you don't have to 😉 And you can do without attributes too! I made most of the series without anything extra......
Video recordings / videographer
Paparazzi tip: I have no problem with friends or family members at your wedding taking pictures or video with their cell phones. However, keep in mind, should you have any influence, that there are not too many of them. And for the video uncle or cousin, who do have the experience of pushing the buttons on the video camera but no experience in "where to stand" then sometimes they can be unfortunately(!) awkward in the picture. Also for the more serious videographer it can 'get in the way', like a simple example ; the tightening of the rings that we both want to capture, so means both step back. Can be a shame!
TIP ! I have experienced that out of 25 people, 23 people were standing with a phone in their hands ( the other 2 were the bride and groom ). I take them into account, but sometimes they are just at the "moment supreme" at a different point of view in the picture, a shame if this happens on many pictures because not everything can be "photoshopped" away and the lights on the devices are very bright and unsociable light. And if you'd rather there be "no" people with devices or you don't want pictures on FaceBook yet please tell your master of ceremonies or put it on the wedding card. Let everyone enjoy and let me take the pictures.
Will you join us for dinner?
Even a photographer gets hungry sometimes.... So, yup! This can be done in 2 ways; I sit somewhere with the guests at your table. This is the most fun experience for me and if something happens like a speech or the like I'm there! Sometimes I am set apart somewhere far away in a separate room. If something happens then it is not registered by me.
Meeting again?
You may have the question of whether we should meet again after our initial conversation? No, this is not necessary, at least not to talk through a program. In the week before your wedding we will have by phone contact each other and then we talk through the program and start moment again. From the moment we start I turn on the 'I will follow you' mode. So everywhere you go I'll be there. So even if your original schedule goes completely haywire, it's all fine by me!
