Wedding Day Questionnaire

Hi there! Thank you so much for picking me to be in charge of documenting one of the most important days of your life! To get things started it is super-duper important that I know every single detail about your wedding. I know that this form is really long but please try to fill it out to the best of your ability. If you don’t know an answer and it is marked as a required question, please just write in “Unsure” and we can get back to those details closer to your wedding date.

If you have a coordinator or planner who has sent you a wedding-day detail document, please upload it here. This form does not have any required fields, so whatever is included in this packet, please feel free to skip within the form and Brian will make sure all details are included in his final detail packet. Thank you!

It's SUPER important to me that we capture all of the important parts of your wedding. This can sometimes be hindered if myself and the second photographer eat late, causing us to miss important events. We recommend that if food is plated, that ours are prepared for serving right after the couple. If you have a buffet line, I also highly recommend that we are put in line at the end of Table 1 to have enough time to eat and capture the important bits of your wedding.
Please note that unless you have purchased additional hours, the photographer's time will be limited to what is denoted on the contract. Additional hours are available for purchase upon request.

Final Details (Social Media)

(ie: #smithsgethitched)

I really love to tag the vendors in photos that I post on social media. It makes it much easier to do this if I know the Instagram handles of the vendors that do really great work at your wedding. You don't have to fill the following section out, but I would really appreciate it so I don't have to scrape them all together on the day of your wedding :) This also helps you get featured in The Southern California Bride Blog instagram of which I'm a paying member!
