How much time should I allow for my photography on my wedding day?
I usually suggest a couple of hours after the ceremony before your receptions begins. From my experience, I work quickly at taking traditional photos with the Family first, The Wedding party then I take about an hour to work alone with the bride and groom. Most family and group session it has allowed me to work very quickly to set ups are completed in about 30-40 minutes.

How to Book Your Date
Email me at info@Salmansphotography.ca or call to see if your date is available and discuss your plans. I check email several times daily or you can also reach me by phone at 416.528.0997. Since I am traveling or working almost constantly Email is preferred so please allow up to 24 hours to return emails and telephone messages.
If you'd like to meet in person I'll be glad to do that as my travels take me to your area. Since most Weddings are on Friday, Saturday and Sunday's, weekday appointments are best. If that's not convenient, many couples find a scheduled telephone conference call helpful.
If we're not able to meet in person, or you're from outside the area, I can email you a contract to sign and return with your deposit. I'll be happy to meet with you during your engagement photo shoot or at any future date that our schedules will permit.
