Cooperation on the reception.

There is a paragraph about a cooperation in the photography contract, please read it and say to the bridal party and all relatives and guests who is going to be with you on the huge day.

Guests do not read and sign a photography contract, so they don't recognize that their behaviour can make any influence to photographer's function and your photographs. It is not a photographer's job to explain guests that they disturb plans and interfere in photography process. It is your responsibility to make your big day perfect.

What you need to say to all your guests. Guidelines for guests.

Guests really should give required access for a wedding photographer to the couple all the time.

Guests must not pass any plates, cameras, glasses or shaking hands just in front of the photographer's camera, in particular in the most fundamental moments, like cutting the bridal cake and the bridal dance, due to the fact we cannot replay these moments.

If there is a special booster light for the couple, guests need to not overlay this light, given that it is particularly critical for wedding photographs.

Guest really should not ask the photographer to take a portrait of them, specifically when he or she is busy with a couple. The photographer will do it in due time, if it's coordinated with the couple.
