Be realistic about what you can accomplish within your timeline. Work with your Chicago photographer on the locations you pick, account for traffic, amount of people coordinating, weather, check for special events on the day of your wedding. Focus on 3 locations that you LOVE and scrap the rest. The engagement photo session is for the two of you to run around to all the places you have ever been together. The wedding day is not. Don’t stress out your bridal party with a long list of locations to hit.
Talk about your insecurities. If you know you don’t like how you look from your left side, say so. Photographers will do their best to make you look beautiful and they can not read your mind. They wont be able to photoshop every detail of your body, or your friends and family….and knowing how you feel about how you like to look helps create more of what you want.
Decide how far is too far to go for your photographs. Creative photographers will often ask you to do things, decide before your wedding day what is ok and not ok. Things like, letting someone lift you in the air, jumping up and down laying on the ground or climbing on things. Setting your boundaries about likes and dislikes will avoid awkward moments on the day of.
Do not blow off making your shot list. It is a tedious process yes, but this is the map for your wedding photographer. Without it your photographer is guessing on what is important to you. You don’t have to be super specific, but a list of the top 10 most important shots you HAVE to have helps.
