Mariya's verdict. Book the location before the guests. Changing a date is easy, changing a permit is not.
The gown is hired for a few hours, so the session has to fit inside that window.
A separate day works better than the ceremony day, when the queues are long and everyone is tired.
Bring the certificate. It is the one prop families always want in the frame.
Bring a second person too. Someone has to hold the cap while you fix the hood.
| When | What is photographed | Why it is placed there |
|---|---|---|
| Arrival | Gown, hood and cap sorted before the camera comes out | This always takes longer than expected |
| Solo portraits | The frames the family will frame | Away from the queue, in even light |
| Family groups | Parents, siblings, grandparents | Short and organised |
| Walking frames | Movement, the building behind | The pictures that look least posed |
