Most of what goes wrong on a wedding day was decided weeks earlier, in a conversation that never happened. The ceremony that runs forty minutes late. The group photos nobody listed. The timeline you finally receive three days before, built without you.

I photographed weddings on the French Riviera for ten years, most of them alone. This checklist is what I ended up sending every couple, months before the day, once I understood that my job on a wedding is largely decided before I arrive.
