Do you have a timeline?
Yes, my hired coordinator/planner has created one
Yes, I have created one myself and it's set in stone
Yes, I have created one myself but it's not set in stone
I have a loose timeline but would like help creating a more detailed one!
I have nothing. Help!
If you have any sort of timeline, please paste it below. If you have a coordinator timeline, you can paste it below OR have them send it to me at hello@sabatani.com
How important is the timeline to you?
Very important! I am anxious about being behind with anything and would like to stick to it as much as possible.
Pretty important logistically to stay on track, but I/we are generally calm when things fall behind, and as long as we catch up to the important things, we're ok if things are a few minutes off.
I'd like to stick to it, but would rather not be concerned with the time or the next thing. I want us to flow through the day unhurried and unrushed! I ask that vendors don't present a nervous energy when it comes to the time in front of us.
I don't even want to have a timeline! We told our guests to show up at x time, everything else is super chill.
Do you want getting ready photos? If so, where are you getting ready?
Please be specific, include hotel numbers if you have them. If you don't have them yet please ensure you email or text me as soon as you do! Please consider coverage hours.
Where is your fiance getting ready? (If different from you)
Do you have any spots in mind where you would like to do bride & groom photos?
Part of my job is coming earlier and scoping out the venue! This question is for those who KNOW where they want certain things to happen or places that mean something special. If you don't know, leave this blank, I'll suggest spots once we're there.

Wedding hashtag if you have one:
How did you two meet? (If we haven't talked about this before!)
Check all that apply when it comes to you both as a couple and photos.
We don't take a lot of photos usually so our wedding photos are obviously very important!
We're a bit awkward in front of the camera and would love guidance, direction and with prompts
We're naturals in front of the camera! Prefer less direction, more standing back and watching our love unfold naturally.
We'd love a mix of direction and letting us be natural
Prefer candids over looking directly into the camera
Prefer photos with a lot of movement
Both introverted
Both Extroverted
They're introverted ; I'm Extroverted
I'm introverted ; They're Extroverted
We are okay with physical touch to show us poses
We prefer talking direction only
We'll talk more in depth on the phone!
Why did you hire me? What are some of your favorite photos from my instagram or website?
This helps me understand what exactly it is you hired me for so I can give you as much of that as possible! It also makes me feel nice :)
In a couple months AND in 10 years when you look back at these photos, what do you want them to say about you guys and your wedding?
How in love we are! How loving and sweet our family and friends are!
How goofy/silly we are and how that played out in our wedding day
How perfect we are, not a hair out of place, nothing in the backgrounds. We want picture perfect posed photos, with a lot of focus on "editorial style" or "creative" photos
We want an honest and accurate re-telling of the story of our day. Tons of fun candids, it's ok if everything isn't perfect.
How emotional the day was
How relaxed and chill the day was
A mix or Other: (elaborate below)
Elaborate Text Area
What are your love languages? How do you prefer love be shown to you? And what does your partner prefer?
Preferences for editing styles?
I realize my work can lean moody or bright and most of my galleries are a mix of both, but if you have a preference for one or the other, let me know!
I like moodier, more cinematic photos
I like brighter, lighter photos
I like the moody AND bright and exactly how you edit and trust you to choose what's appropriate when!
If we had an engagement session, do you have any feedback for me?
I want to make sure you LOVE your wedding photos, if there was a part of your engagement session you particularly loved OR wish were different (whether it's the session itself or the photos in the final gallery) please let me know!
Anything non-traditional you're planning?
Is there a cool choreographed dance happening? Are you guys planning any surprises for each other or a guest? Anything I left out, tell me now!
Is there anything else you need me to know? If you opted for a call, we will discuss all of the above a little more.
