from the photographer
photo and film with Kelsey Allison
Bluffton and Beaufort weddings often sit under open sky, tents and old oaks. Ask for the tent and the light plan early, and for a short window after the ceremony when the two of you can step out under the trees.
from the photographer
photo and film By Level Of Help
General guidance from the camera side of the day, for the kinds of help Kelsey Allison lists. It applies to any planner offering the same level.
With Full Planning
A full planner writes the timeline months ahead, which is the right moment to give photo and film their own lines. Send your planner the sunset time for your date, the list of family photographs and how long you want for portraits, and the schedule gets built around the light instead of squeezed into it.
With A Design Led Planner
When the planner is also the designer, ask to see the floor plan and the lighting plan before the day. Candles, uplights and where the head table sits all change how the room looks on camera, and a few minutes in the empty room before guests arrive is when the details get photographed.
Give your planner the sunset time at the first meeting. Everything else can be built around it.

from the photographer
who wrote This Guide
I am Vitor Lindo. I have photographed and filmed 450 weddings in 14 years, about 400 of them here in the Lowcountry, from my studio at 1918 Howard Street in Savannah.
Photography and film are available together or separately, with one team planning both. That means one set of blocks on your planner's timeline, and nobody standing in the other one's shot.
