Wedding Brief for photo shoot

Definitely, you have certain expectations for your wedding photos, video and albums. Our most important service is to meet your expectations. The more we know about your wedding, the easier it will be for us to create everything the way you want and make sure we do not miss anything important to you.

Please complete this questionnaire when you are ready. You do not need to do it immediately after booking. Take your time and fill it out once most of the wedding details are confirmed - usually, the best time is about two weeks before the wedding.

If a question is not relevant or important to you, feel free to skip it. Only a few fields are required. However, the more details you provide, the better we will understand what matters to you. Every wedding is different, and every couple has different wishes. Something that may seem obvious to you may not be obvious to us.

Important: Completing this questionnaire may take 10-20 minutes.
This includes how you would like your names to be written, and in which language, on the video and magnets, if ordered.
If you are getting ready at a hotel and have booked a specific room or suite, please include a link to it or provide its name. If it is a villa or another private location, please share its Instagram account or send us photos directly.
We may have questions about unloading equipment, connecting to the sound system, or other technical details. To avoid bothering you on your wedding day, it is usually easier for us to contact the coordinator directly if anything urgent comes up.
We are mainly interested in the confirmed key times and any special or unusual details. For example: 14:00 - We would like you to arrive early and photograph the details at the location listed above. 15:00 - Hair and makeup will be finished, and we will begin the getting-ready photos. 16:00 - The groom will arrive at the hotel for the first look. 16:30 - Couple photoshoot. We have not chosen a location yet and would like to discuss it with you. 18:00 - We need to be at the venue to welcome our relatives. 18:30 - Family photos. A photo with our grandfather is especially important! 19:00 - Kabbalat Panim. 19:30 - Ketubah signing at the venue. We will ask the coordinator to show you the location in advance. 20:00 - Ceremony. The bride’s father will give a speech, and it is important to us that the audio is recorded. 21:00 - Dancing. 22:30 - Bouquet toss. The DJ will let you know if the time changes. 23:00 - End of coverage.
Getting Ready/Preparations: how many people will be?
This section is relevant only if we are photographing you getting ready. We recommend inviting several friends to join you only if there is enough space. For example, if you have a small hotel room and six friends, it may feel crowded and uncomfortable. Before the photoshoot, please remove anything you do not want to see in the photos, such as bags, suitcases, food, and plastic cups. If you would like photos taken through or in front of a mirror, please make sure the mirror is clean.
Are you planning a first meeting/first look?
Some brides prefer not to show the groom their dress before the wedding, while others are more relaxed about the first look. Select “Yes” if you are planning a first look after getting ready and it is important to you that the groom does not see you before then.
Family photos:
We understand that the photographer does not know all of our relatives or family relationships. We understand that if we want many specific combinations of family photos, we will need to appoint someone who knows everyone—or ask our coordinator—to help gather and organize the right people. We understand that if we need specific group combinations, we must prepare a list in advance and make sure that all the combinations on the list are completed. We understand that if a guest is late for the family photos, it may not be possible to take the planned photos with that guest.
Orthodox Jewish chuppah, Reform Jewish chuppah, symbolic ceremony, Orthodox Christian ceremony, Catholic ceremony, Nikah, other.
For example: Kisse Kallah, Bedeken, Ketubah signing/Tish, breaking the plate, breaking the glass, Sheva Brachot, Yichud room, blessings from the parents, family dance, Mechitzah, or anything else.
About the dancing part: do I have a carte blanche or you have preferences?
I always try to be in the middle of the dance floor and capture its energy. This is especially important at Israeli weddings with many young guests. During the ceremony and reception, I usually avoid interrupting what is happening and work in a documentary style. We do not photograph guests while they are sitting at the tables and eating. Regarding photos of every guest, please understand that a photographer cannot remember every person they have already photographed. For this reason, we cannot guarantee a photo of every guest, even if this has been requested. If photos of every guest are important to you, it is usually best to book an event magnet photography service or a second photographer whose specific task will be to photograph the guests. However, even in this case, we cannot guarantee a photo of every person at weddings with more than 40 guests.
Is there will be magnet photographer/Magneti?
Actual for weddings in Israel only. Allows us to understand how to interact with guests and plan some nuances in advance. Sometimes it is possible to prepare cameras to give to Magneti a sd-card with captured photos so he could print them right at the wedding. It is very heartwarming for your relatives especially if they came from far away.

Completing the questionnaire:
We understand that the photographer cannot anticipate anything that has not been mentioned in the questionnaire. We understand that all one-time events must be announced in advance. If photos or video of a surprise, speech, first dance, gift, or performance are important to us, we must inform the photographer and the team before it happens. We understand that we need to ask the coordinator to serve food to the photographer and the team at the same time as the couple or earlier, so the team is ready to photograph the dancing and speeches after.
Wedding dress and Groom's suit:
Now for the most difficult part: send the future groom to bed and upload a photo of you wearing the dress.Seeing the dress will help us understand whether there may be any limitations during the photoshoot. For example, if your dress has a two-meter train and the wedding is in summer, it may be better not to plan very active photos or long walks through the forest.

VIDEO:

** Please fill out the part below only if you booked the videographer through us.**
Please share your music preferences, favorite genres, or specific tracks here. Even better, send us a playlist of your favorite songs you want to use for the wedding clip/movie so we can choose the most suitable ones for the edit.For the highlight video, we will need one or two specific tracks. For the full wedding film, the more options you provide, the better.The deadline for sending your music preferences is two days after the wedding. After that, the videographer will choose the music, and tracks cannot be replaced once the video has been completed.
**Only if you ordered a full-length wedding film** How dynamic would you like it to be on a scale from 1 to 5?
Please note that it is not possible to include as much footage as possible while also making the film very short and dynamic. Your answer will help us understand which is more important to you.
