The day begins when you want it to. We will come to the bride's home, or wherever she is setting off from, as early as we are needed, although we don't recommend arriving more than about half an hour before the transport arrives, we'd just be in the way!

We will start off by doing some "getting ready shots", some pictures of the bridesmaids and page boys and anything else that helps to "set the scene". We usually finish with a shot at the front door of the bride with her father, or whoever is to give her away before hotfooting it to the wedding venue to be there in time to photograph the bride arriving and getting out of her car, horse and carriage, JCB(!) or whatever other mode of transport she is using.

While this has been going on, the second photographer will have been at the wedding venue, photographing the guests as they arrive and then taking some shots of the Groom and Best Man sitting in position, with the wedding guests behind them, awaiting the Bride's arrival.

As an alternative, and it's entirely up to you, we'll meet you arriving at the wedding venue and start taking photographs when (or actually before) you arrive.

During the ceremony we will take photographs, if allowed, with or without flash, depending upon what the individual carrying out the ceremony is prepared to allow us to do.

What happens next is, again, entirely up to you. For church weddings, after you have been photographed coming down the aisle (looking relieved!) we usually take you back to the front and do some pictures at the altar. If the weather is bad we will take more pictures here, including a lot of the group shots.

Then, again it's up to you, we will go off to the location of your choice, local park / beauty spot, having taken a large number of informal pictures along the way.
