While we are working closely with our brides, it is essential to learn about your wedding day. We love to learn about the wedding vibe, and all that you have planned thus far. As your Wedding Photographers it is essential for us to capture these must have Wedding Photos for our clients on the day. We work beside site coordinators and wedding planners seamlessly in the process of creating ensuring the day flows perfectly. Additionally, we infuse our Wedding Photos with additional Wedding Photography Styles for our brides to receive a true curated Fine Art collection and experience. As creatives, we essentially are not working from a Wedding Photo Shot List, however, I like to mention it is a creative recipe I have built over ten years of experience working in the wedding, fashion, and beauty industry and culmination of my time to curate your day to perfection.
While in the process of curating your dream wedding photos, we will review details such as your beautiful wedding dresses, wedding day details, bridal glam, your wedding venue, and so much more together.
With a documentary photography and photojournalistic approach to the day, we find these moments will naturally unfold in front of our lens throughout the day. Throughout my ten years of experience in the industry, I have found a few Must Have Wedding Photos that my clients absolutely treasure and below we’ll take a moment to review those details below and my approach.
Your day is officially here and you have so many beautiful things to celebrate. The love of your life, your families union, best friends joining from afar, and wow, you have spent hours culminating all of these incredible details. From the Pinterest boards, to conversations with family, visions with vendors. And your day is OFFICIALLY HERE. You look around the room and the moment is perfect. All of the details came together so beautifully…. Now let’s chat a bit ABOUT the details!
These are the items you curated so beautifully. Now, with that being said, they deserve JUST AS much attention. On the wedding day, I will photograph a culmination of beautiful flat lay details to capture those to utter perfect. I cannot wait to see EVERYTHING!
In the morning of a wedding nerves may be running a bit high. I absolutely love capturing that pre-ceremony anticipation. A few moments as the groom prepares to read his vows. The bride steps into her gown. The moment she sees herself in the mirror. So special. The bridal reveal. Even more exciting! Moments I treasure capturing as a Wedding Photographer.
Example: Engagement, Wedding Bands, Wedding Invitation Suite from a Fall Crossed Keys Estate Wedding.
During the ceremony or first look you will share a few emotive reveal moments. Here is another one of our favorite and must have photos for the day. It is a time for you to just take it all in and enjoy this very special moment the day as you become husband and wife.
On our wedding day, I remember, the moment of our first look, when my father walked me down the aisle, and when I was at the altar… These moments I treasure to this day. The moment at the aisle. We held on so tightly as if nothing in the world mattered… It felt as through we were the only people in the garden. We were so present in each and every single moment on our day and it was incredibly special.
Example: The emotive reveal at the altar at this Summer Congress Hall Cape May Wedding.
Were you ever in a wedding as a kiddo? Remember that special time of looking up at the beautiful bride? I can sure remember when I was a flower girl and remember that special moment. It is so special to capture the little kids as they are all dressed up beside the bride and groom and their parents.
Example: An intimate moment with the Bride and Flower Girl at this Summer Cape May Wedding moments prior to her departure to Ceremony.
As we capture your portraits on the wedding day, we love the romantic embraces. We love as couples soak in the moment. During your portraits, take this time. Soak in all of these moments as they go by ever so quickly. During your formal portraits, we will provide direction to walk you through the process for romantic, editorial portraits whilst also capturing the organic, unrehearsed documentary moments as they unfold naturally in front of my lens.
Example: A few intimate bride and groom portraits at golden hour during this beautiful Spring wedding at the Coach House at the Ryland Inn.
Your favorite people are here celebrating the most treasured days of life with you. We are so thrilled to capture such special moments and memories with your Wedding Party and Family on your wedding day. From Family Formals to the candid moments as they naturally unfold, all of these moments are so special!
Example: Picture-perfect moments during family formals at this fall Crossed Keys Estate Wedding | Joyful moments during Wedding Party formals at this Ryland Inn spring wedding.
Sharing your first dance together as husband and wife is one of our favorites to capture. We love the energy, excitement, and emotion. We love to see our couple’s epic choreography skills perfected with lifts and romantic dips!
Example: What a romantic first dance ‘on the clouds’ at the Park Chateau Estate & Gardens!

Shot lists are used to keep in organized and in order as the wedding day progresses. As a seasoned wedding professional we have curated our own unique wedding photography shot list. Our wedding photography shot list is unique to our brand and our most-loved photographs by our Wedding Photography clients. The shot list includes some ‘must-haves’ incorporating a creative conception of the wedding day vision by New Jersey Wedding Photographer, Michelle Behre. Below we have some frequently asked questions that we address for brides-to-be.
After ten years of photographing weddings, Michelle has found what has worked to provide her clients with a superior photography and wedding day experience. So with her knowledge at the forefront working with real brides she has found working off ‘a list’ interferes with moments as they unfold. It is our goal for the day to flow organically and naturally and is only appropriate while photographing formals to capture the authentic documentary and photojournalistic moments of the day as they naturally unfold. Rather than your day feeling as though it is a checklist, we want for the moments to be occurring naturally. We want for you to soak in every moment as it comes and to move through each step authentically. With that being said, we would refrain from the moments feeling forced or unnatural as though they are compiled from such list. Her approach will achieve consistent series of images throughout her portfolio of the timeless moments as they naturally unfold and romantic portraits.

A well-organized schedule for your wedding photos will also serve as a guide for all vendors on the wedding day and is an important component of every successful wedding. For your day to run smoothly, from hair and makeup to cake cutting, things will happen on time and flow accordingly. And just how you have an itinerary for all of your bridal makeup, ceremony and reception events, to timing of speeches there will also be a guided wedding day photography timeline for your wedding photographers as we capture your timeless and editorial wedding photos.
The wedding photography timeline will note the day-of event start time(s), end time(s), location(s), and also mention any events happening and who they involve (if a vendor or family member) for example: first look with bridal party/father-of-the-bride/groom. If there are any special requests from the couple, a note will be mentioned in the timeline for the photo opportunities to be completed by the wedding photography team.
We highly recommend for the very special wedding day moments like you getting into your gown and the for the gentlemen to be suited up require that time to savor. Sometimes coupes don’t realize this time and what to factor in. Sometimes couples don’t realize how long it takes to get into the gown. Yet as professional New Jersey wedding photographers and service providers, we’re here to guide you through this time for you to savor these moments on the day and not feel as though you are rushed from place to place on your day. These are the best moments in life!
Your wedding photography timeline will keep you on track moving from one location to the next and by having this scheduled set in stone before you tie the know you’ll be able to get all those desired images without feeling rushed. And with having us as your photographers, we will be working closely with your vendor team to guide you through each step of the day. You’ll have the ability to savor the moment and not feeling rushed between each moment. As wedding photographers, Michelle Behre Photography provides an ultimate experience for brides and grooms on their wedding day. The timeline build is absolutely essential to our process!
Below are a few items we review together to structure your wedding day timeline by New Jersey Wedding Photographer, Michelle Behre Photography.
Before crafting your wedding day timeline, there are a few things to keep in mind about the flow of your wedding day. You’ll want to think about your time and how you want to spend that on your day. Some of these may take a minute or so to think about, no pressure bride-to-be. So here are a few of our expert tips as we plan our wedding day photography timelines with our beautiful wedding couples.
To keep the morning flowing on schedule and on time, we’ll want to begin with photographing your beautiful wedding day details. To do just that, we recommend setting aside your details in one single location. Details may include your invitation suite, wedding bands, vow book, shoes, and more. As soon as Michelle arrives, she begins photographing those thoughtfully curated items as you are in hair and makeup. Pro tip: notify your maid/matron of honor the location of these items so we can snag those for photos as you enjoy your time in hair and makeup!
Example: Beautiful wedding day details curated in flat-lay photography at a romantic Ryland Inn Wedding Venue.
Nerves may be running a bit high in the morning. This is one of the best days of your lives and if you’re hosting a traditional timeline, more than half the day will be spent in different locations. If you nor your partner are opposed to completing a first look on your wedding day, then you’ll want to consider it! First looks are when you are taking your formal portraits prior to your ceremony so instead of missing your cocktail hour you get to enjoy that time and will essentially add more time to your wedding day that you get to enjoy, together! From a photographer’s perspective, the first looks provide plenty of logistical benefits from to your timeline. Yet our favorite bonus of hosting a first look for our couple’s are the intimate moments, vow readings, and portrait time that our couples share before the busyness of the day. It’s truly a moment just for you two to enjoy on your day which is extra-special.
Example: Here are a few beautiful moments from a first look and intimate portraits that we love from romantic fall wedding at the Crossed Keys Estate Andover New Jersey Wedding Venue.
If keeping it traditional is more your thing-we got you! I would recommend the extended cocktail hour. Extending your cocktail will allow for a few moments at your cocktail hour mixing, mingling and celebrating at the very beginning of your post-ceremony party. The best of both worlds!
Example: Bride and groom enjoying their portraits at Congress Hall Cape May beach and extended cocktail hour at Congress Hall Hotel Wedding.
When planning the timeline, I recommend to factor in ‘buffer time.’ This time is great to take a moment prior to your ceremony. This buffer can be used to relax and recharge before your big moment to come. If anything happens to run behind in the schedule, then we know there is a safety buffer time. We’ll still have time to recharge the batteries before departing ceremony time!
Example: Watching from the bridal suite as guests arrive at the Crossed Keys Estate Wedding Venue | Couple enjoys a ‘first touch’ prior to their ceremony to calm the nerves at the Ryland Inn Wedding Venue.
During your formal portraits, taking family photos can be a bit overwhelming and time-consuming. To make this process as efficient as possible, we will work through a previously crafted approved by the couple. Prior to the wedding, it is important to notify family that they will be photographed and what time. On the wedding day, to make this process as efficient as possible, I recommend notifying family members what time and where. Same applies to wedding party.
