Guidelines
Plan on three no less than (3) minutes per picture line. This takes into
account finding everyone for that particular arrangement, placing the people
into the pose needed, adjusting clothes and lighting, and taking multiple
images. If all the pictures denoted above (the arranged poses) were taken on
the wedding day it would take at least 2 hours to record all of them onto film.
You do not want to be rushed.
Write down any special group or person images wanted. Be Specific. If
you want a specific "look" to your wedding or a staged shot please
provide examples from magazines.
It is the responsibility of the couple, the wedding coordinator,
or some other designated person to ensure that the person or
group of people whom they want photographs of are available to be
photographed.
