Allow enough time for the photographer to capture the portraits you had envisioned. We ask our couples to block at least 90 minutes for the portrait location time. This is just enough time for the photographer to get both the safe shots and also the creative images you probably fell in love with in the first place. Do not expect your photographer to capture everything in under 30 minutes. It takes time to pose the wedding party and then get the perfect elements for the portraits of the bride and groom alone.
