1. Create a Detailed Photo Timeline
Work with your photographer to plan the timing of each part of your shoot. Include everything from getting-ready shots to family portraits and, finally, those romantic couple moments. By setting aside enough time for each segment, you won’t feel rushed, and your photographer will have more freedom to capture authentic moments.
2. Communicate Your Priorities
Talk with your photographer ahead of time about the shots that mean the most to you. Whether it’s a quiet candid or a dramatic portrait, communicating your vision ensures you get the photos you’ll treasure. At Haus 820, with our variety of beautiful, modern photo spots, your photographer will have plenty of options to make your vision a reality without needing to leave the venue, easing some of the pressure of travel time.
3. Prepare a Shot List for Family and Friends
Gathering family and friends can take time. To keep this part smooth, prepare a list of groupings you want and designate someone to help organize people. This step ensures everyone is ready when needed, saving precious time and reducing stress.
