Weddings as a Three Act Play

We like to see weddings as if they were plays that unfold in a sequence of Acts beginning with Preparations, moving to the Ceremony and finishing with the Party. Tucked into each of these acts are smaller scenes

Act 1: Preparations

Scene 1: Bride and bridal party getting dressed
Scene 2: Groom and his party getting dressed
Scene 3: Couple alone if they choose to see each other before the ceremony,
Scene 4: The wedding party either separately if bride & groom choose not to see each other or together if they do chose to see each other.

Act 2: The Ceremony

Scene 1: Gathering
Scene 2: The Entrance
Scene 3: Blessings and Vows
Scene 4: The Exit

Act 3: The Celebration

Scene 1: In between time…greeting family and friends,
Scene 2: Private time with the Bride and Broom
Scene 3: Fun with the wedding party
Scene 4: Arrival and entrance to reception
Scene 5: Toasts, cake etc.
Scene 6: The dance

The Cast consists of the key players of the drama from the couple themselves, to friends, family and pets.

In some cases there will be a prelude that includes one or more engagement sessions photographed at a variety of locations. We generally use the photographs to make up a guest book designed to allow those attending the wedding to share in the excitement.

What follows within this category are a series of highlights representing the three acts described above.
