Book morning or golden hour
Schedule shoots around early morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds and capture softer, more flattering light.
Confirm locations in advance

Multiple outfit changes and coordination apps drain phones—have backup power for communication and quick reference shots.
Check transport and entry fees
Photographer time typically excludes transit and venue entry; budget for taxis or admission if you plan private indoor sites.
Smartphone or mirrorless camera
Primary capture device; most pros will shoot but having your own phone is useful for behind-the-scenes shots.
Comfortable shoes
Expect short walks between locations and standing during setups.
Second outfit or quick-change cover
Allows varied looks and keeps transitions efficient during multi-hour bookings.
Portable charger
Keeps phones and accessories powered for coordination and extra photos.
