As we start preparing and getting in the mindset of wedding season, we thought it’d be fun to share how we prepare for each wedding day! There’s a good bit of thought and effort that can go into planning and preparing for a 12+ hour wedding day!

The week before the wedding…

• Charge batteries
• Format memory cards
• Clean lenses
• Finalize wedding day timeline
• Finalize portrait locations and drive to confirm (if necessary)

The day before the wedding…

• Check camera settings
• Make sure the time stamp on the cameras are synced
• Sort equipment and get it into the right bags
• Lay out bags, snacks, guestbook, and bride hanger
• Charge iPad
• Check weather
• Look up addresses in our phones for the directions
• Relax at home (we try not to do anything too late on the night before a wedding)

Day of the wedding…

• Eat a hearty breakfast 
• Pack a mini cooler of our snacks and some water bottles
• Pack up the car (including an extra pair of shoes…rain boots for rain, ugg boots for snow, or just an extra pair of flats incase of blisters)
• Drop Elly off at our parent’s or friend’s house
• WEDDING TIME!
