The single biggest predictor of a beautiful gallery isn't the venue, the outfits or the camera. It's the schedule. Couples who leave a thirty-minute buffer before the ceremony get portraits in the best light of the day. Couples who don't, get a rushed ten minutes at noon.
Ask your planner for a written run-sheet and share it with your photography team at least two weeks out. Tell us who matters — the grandmother who flew in, the friend who has been there since school. We cannot photograph a relationship we don't know exists.
And one last thing: eat. Nothing shows up in photographs faster than a couple who hasn't had a meal since the mehndi.
