Some churches have very specific restrictions on where a photographer can shoot from during the ceremony. Please check with the church to find out if there are any restrictions.

Please note:
- In order to allow for a private photo session of bride and groom, we will need at least half an hour of your time alone with the photographer.
- Please ensure the presence of all the family members required at your wedding photos. Plan for about 5 minutes per photo for shots with fewer than 14 people, about 10 minutes per photo for shots with more than 14 people.
- If possible, please ask a family member or friend who knows the people to be in the pictures to round them up for the photos. Getting people where they need to be for the photos is by far the most time consuming part of group shots.
