What now? - Flashbulb’s wedding process.

Final details

A simple online form to fill in your final timings, locations and the last section “any other details you'd like to add” is where we’d love you to go crazy on all the details, waffling is encouraged. Ideally this is complete and sent to us before the pre-wedding shoot, so we can talk through anything needed.

Pre-wedding shoot

We will ask you to sync your diaries and send us a few date options for your pre-wed photo session and any locations you might fancy. The ideal time to set the shoot is around 2-4 weeks before the wedding date.

The session isn’t particularly long, probably an average of half an hour long and it’s all super casual. *** Bonus points will be provided to those with weekday options. ***

Location is important! If you’re shy then keep it away from busy areas. Beaches, mountains, forests, park areas are all great but also try and think outside of that box. Think about somewhere you love together, even if its a cosy little cafe, somewhere you had your first date or an urban backdrop you think will look really cool for photos. It can even be at your home.

Please note that if your location is entirely outside, the session will be postponed if the weather is really poor.
