Wedding Details — Daniel Bostwick Photography Bethany Beach

Wedding day details.

There’s a good chance there may be some redundancy here from our past communications. Maybe your planner sent over a timeline, maybe we already had a chat. I apologize in advance for the duplication of efforts. This is my cheat sheet through the day and super helpful to have close at hand and to share with my assistant. If you don’t know some of the answers here, do your best. I’ll confirm everything a few different ways. Thanks a ton!

Will we be doing family photos at the ceremony location?

Yes

If not, what's the plan for those? An address would be nice, but at that point we can follow you guys.

Disregard if the previous answer was yes.

What are your plans for the bridal party photos, and your portraits?

Where do you guys want to shoot? If you don't have a clue, I'm cool with winging it!

Is it okay if I pull you guys away from the reception for any night or sunset phots?

Definitely!

If you see something cool, yes! But I'm cool either way!

Nope, it's dancing time, not photo time 🙂

If so, did you have any ideas on that you wanted to pass along? If not, that's why you hired me!

What are the moments of the day you're most looking forward to?

You each can can pick a few and there's no wrong answer. Just whatever you're thinking about the most or are most in tune with going into the day.

Anything else I should be aware of? Family traditions, family feuds, unique stuff you'll be doing or wearing and want covered?

Last Question. What is the most important aspect of the photography to you? It could be moments captured, it could be epic portraits, it could be tradional family photos, super "journalistic" black and white photographs. Think hard, but there are no wrong answers here! Everyone values certain elements of the photography differently and I try my best to tailor that to your wedding to make your photos uniquely your own!
