Photography and Cinematography Schedule and Shots
Dear Chris and the Team at MINT, and William and the Team at William Mason Photography;
We picked you guys as our videographer and photographer because your work inspires our TRUST. We want you to be free to exercise your artistic judgement and to capture any moment or image that will be beautiful, quirky, funny, emotional or inspirational.
As a reminder, while we do want the basic shots, we also love extreme angles, depth of field, and visual effects. Especially as it relates to lighting, since our theme is "Let Love Light the Way".
To assist you, we listed a schedule, and then a schedule with possible shots (particularly important for photographer)
Love,
Judy and Jonathan
