The bank-holiday Wedding Photography brief
A bank-holiday weekend rewards wedding that shows the whole context, not just a hero angle. May, August and Christmas bank holidays crowd venues, promenades and family-event calendars — the shoot works around footfall, not against it.
Context
Bank holidays are footfall-driven windows.
In practice, that means edited gallery (400–700 images) plus optional aerial highlights reel. The schedule leans on off-peak windows and honest peak-time atmosphere.
