Photography checklist

This is my general checklist, not all of them will apply to every wedding as every wedding is different. The purpose of this checklist is so that you don’t have to list everything when filling out my wedding questionnaire.

Please note I don’t guarantee to be able to capture everything, there can be all sorts of reason that may prevent me (ie venue restrictions, weather conditions, guests’ co-oprativeness!) but I will do my best to get as much of the day and the details as possible.
