First Styled Shoot & My Takeaway

Styled Shoot: a photographed shoot that is themed to look a certain way.

Yesterday I finished up my first styled shoot. I was excited and nervous,but ready to conquer the day. It was really fun to work with my other vendors! I worked with Jess with Jessica Wonders Events, Lisa with Forget Me Not Floral Events, Theresa for hair, Chris with Knights Chamber, Michelle with Bridal Accents Couture, Angela with Angela Karla Bridal, and our two Models Behtsee and Steven.

This is definitely a type of project I would do again. I worked with a power- house planner which made it easy to focus on what I had to do which naturally is my favorite part ;) (aka photography). A takeaway from this project for me and for others looking to do a styled shoot with other vendors, is give generously. This could pertain of your time, picking things up, helping clean up, being on time, or giving ideas. Everyone is working to collaborate to make an idea blossom into life and it is amazing to see it all panned out in really life.

Overall a really cool experience.  And I am excited to share photos; when they are ready I will be sharing here!! 

Importance of a Wedding Day Timeline

Everyone's hope for a wedding day is that everything goes smoothly: all the flowers arrive on time, pictures turn out great, family / guest are happy, with the ultimate goal of marrying the love of your life and have a fantastic day while doing it!!
A simple timeline can achieve these goals. Every wedding I shoot in always make myself a day time line by the hour. This helps me keep track of how we are doing and stay as close to a plan as we can.

One of the biggest things about completing a timeline before hand is it helps keep people staying on the same page.  It can be handed out to all the vendors, family, and wedding party.
Instead of everyone bothering the bride asking what's next, they will be able to refer to that timeline throughout the day with no surprises as where they are supposed be. As everyone is already having their phones and selfie sticks at the ready, they can check the schedule at anytime and see if they have more time for group selfies or need to be outside for formal photos.

Having a reference point for everybody on the wedding day makes it so you can in joy your day to the fullest, without all the confusion of not knowing what's next!

Next week I will be talking on making a successful timeline to help by breaking it down step by step for the Wedding day. Happy Monday! Next week I will be talking on making a successful timeline to help by breaking it down step by step for the Wedding day. Happy Monday!
