Notes / Instructions:

  • The bride doesn't like her side profile, because of her nose. Keep this is mind but don't completely avoid, especially if the shot looks good. Allow a variety of selects for culling.


  • Groom prefers to be called "Pasha" instead of his formal name.


  • Use the couple's engagement photos as inspiration (see top of the page). Those are their favorite selects from a different photographer that they booked.


  • Shoot in RAW (full resolution), not JPG


  • Confirm you have the accurate location. If using GPS, type in the name of the venue with the city and verify it's the right place, avoiding the possibility of incorrect directions or destination.

  • Call the on-site contact(s) upon first arrival, stating that you're the photographer from Pluvia Studios. Make sure you are guided to the first shooting location on time to set up and start taking photos.


  • Capture every single grouping listed for photos (check schedule). Repeat each grouping for each location (capture spot). Do not miss any. Work with the couple to ensure.


  • Alongside traditional poses, incorporate fun prompts or activities during the shoot to draw out genuine emotions and unexpected moments for varied, unique, and entertaining shots.

    • The bride (Stacy) says "Feel free to guide us!" in regards to directing them during photography.


  • Watch your ISO levels

    • Don't shoot too dark (especially indoors)

    • Don't shoot too bright (especially outdoors)

  • Clean surfaces of objects before shooting (ex. dust, smudges, dirt)

    • Make sure your lenses are also clean at all times.


  • Watch out for your shadows and reflections (ex. mirrors) in the shots

  • Prioritize high quality work but also have fun! Enjoy and contribute positive energy to the couple, guests and staff!
