Your Names

How many little ones will be in family photos? (under 8)

What type of backdrop are you hoping for? Are you wanting to do more than one location or stay on location?

Will there be substantial hiking or driving time between locations?

I understand that indoor weddings in BC require proof of covid-19 vaccination.

Yes, yes, YES!!! I can't wait to celebrate safely! No I'm angry about this.

I understand engagement sessions are beneficial to the overall success of wedding photos. They help us get comfortable with each other.

Yes, I'm excited for ours! I have no interest in doing one

I understand natural factors such as wildfire smoke, or large clouds may obstruct the mountain views that I had in mind for photos. (July and August are usually the months affected by the smoke)

Yes No

I understand that Covid-19 may change guest numbers at a moments notice

Yes, and we are still going to get married!!! Yes, and we will change the date if that happens. We are aware of the rescheduling fee. What's covid-19? I don't take regulations seriously.

I understand that a wedding photographer is NOT an event coordinator and that I'm in charge of reaching out to vendors, acquiring permits, and making any sort of arrangements in regards to my wedding.

Yes, I assumed that it was my job to plan my own wedding. No.

I understand that not listening to my photographers advice on timeline layout may result in not having all my requests covered or overage charges to make them happen if we run out of time.

Yes, of course I trust your knowledge in how wedding days flow. No, I want to jam everything into my photography coverage.

I understand that email is the primary form of communication leading up to the date, to keep communication in one place. I will not reach out to my photographer via text message unless it's a time sensitive emergency (ex. day of the wedding or day of engagement session).

Yes, I respect your boundaries. No.

I understand that having a positive attitude towards photos is beneficial to the success of them.

Yes, of course! We are both excited!! No, I hate photos. Yes, but my partner hates photos.

I understand that good photos take time

Yes, I want good photos and want to put in the time to make it happen. No, let's just get the photos over with.

I understand that for the success of ceremony photos, the direction of the sun is important especially if I'm hoping to have distinct mountains in the background.

Yes. No.

It’s important to make sure we are on the same page in regards to my role in your wedding day. This pre consult form, will help us both understand if we truly are a good fit and what factors will come into play during timeline creation during your consult.
