I met with the wedding couple this weekend and we came up with a plan of action for the big day. It's going to be long, but it should be a lot of fun!
First thing in the morning I'm going over to their home to record the all-important bride prep. After she's all wedding-ready we're caravaning the couple plus about 15 relatives to the shoot location to do the majority of the photos. This shoot will actually take place before the ceremony, due to logistical necessity.
The best part is the shoot location. We decided, since neither the church nor the reception location would make great backdrops for pictures, to choose a third location for the main shoot. Being in Portland there are many beautiful locations to choose from. Happily, we ended up picking one of my favorite places: The International Rose Test Gardens!
So we'll have a couple of hours to spend there before heading to the church where the pastor (not being a religious person I don't know if this is the correct term. The church guy.) has given strict instructions. I'm only to take a few shots during the actual ceremony. The "important moments." So we decided on each member of the bridal party's entrance, the bride's entrance (of course!), the rings, the kiss and the couple's departure.
And the last segment of the day will be the reception which will last for a few hours. There I'll take the cake cutting, bouquet tossing, toasts and lots of candids while Jason makes awkward small talk with the couple's relatives. And that will be that!

Congrats on your new gig!
Thanks D!
BTW - My business website will be live later this week. I'll send you the link when it is ready. :-D
awesome pal!
For my sis's wedding, we did the pics ahead of time. From my wedding coordinator days, it just makes so much more sense! (And it's really the only considerate thing to do for guests.) Props to your b&g for doing it!
