Keeping your photographer informed is the best thing you can do to ensure a smooth photo session. ESPECIALLY in a long shoot, such as a wedding, with many key players. Your photographer should ask you for this sort of information. In case she doesn't, be sure to make a point of telling her these three key points:

1. FRIEND OR FOE: To avoid any uncomfortable moments, let your photographer know the marital statuses and friendly-status of parents and in-laws. Inform her of who you suspect might give the photographer a hard time, ahead of time. The more your photographer knows, the more she can do to try and prevent any awkward moments in posing. 

2. SPECIAL PEOPLE/THINGS:  If there are significant people that you want photographed at your event, let your photographer know who they are, and how they are special. Likewise, if your decorations were made by Aunt Bev, or the wine glasses belonged to mom, tell your photographer so that these significant items can get their due photo.

3. TIMELINE: Keep your photographer abreast of any changes in the schedule of events. If you want certain moments captured, the photographer has to know they're happening and when. Your photographer might use the timeline provided to choose an appropriate time to use the bathroom. If something changes, it could really create a moment lost.

In order for your photos to reflect you best, keep your photographer informed. An experienced professional won't leak any surprises and will know how to handle your toughest guest. When you've planned a special day for months, guide your photographer to showcase the love and thoughtfulness of the day!
