Your ten-point planning checklist
Tick boxes stay on this page while it is open. We do not upload or store your choices.
Tell the story of your people
Instead of a very long list of poses, tell your photographer who is important and why. Mention the guest who can only stay for the ceremony, the relative who rarely appears in photographs, or a friendship you especially want remembered.
Share sensitive information directly with your photographer. You do not need to put family circumstances or health information into a public planning document.
Choose details with meaning
If you have an heirloom, a handmade item or a tribute to someone you miss, say so. Leave important small items together during preparations if you would like them photographed and make sure someone knows where they are.
Discuss any surprise with your photographer discreetly. They can be ready without the surprise appearing in a schedule shared with the person it is for.
Ask clear questions before you book
Look at a full wedding gallery as well as a few highlights. Ask how the photographer handles dark rooms, poor weather, essential family groups and couples who feel uncomfortable being photographed.
Confirm what is included, who will attend, the coverage hours, booking and cancellation terms, backup arrangements and how photographs will be delivered. Any price, availability or turnaround should come from your actual written agreement.
Keep the final brief short
Send your final group list, timings, key contacts and special priorities in the format your photographer requests. A clear page of useful information is easier to work from than scattered messages.
For current coverage options and booking enquiries, visit Paul Mindy Photography. For the timings, use the timeline planner.
Keep planning simple: your timeline, your rain plan and your photo checklist.
