from the photographer
photo and film with Port Town Collective
A wedding designed like a film set needs to be lit and framed like one. With a design led planner, ask to share the room plan and the lighting plan with me before the day, so candles, uplights and the dance floor work for the camera as well as for your guests.
from the photographer
photo and film By Level Of Help
General guidance from the camera side of the day, for the kinds of help Port Town Collective 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 Partial Planning
Partial planning usually starts once the big vendors are booked. If your photographer is already on the team, ask your planner to fold the photo and film blocks into the first draft of the schedule, so getting ready, the first look and the family list all have a place and a time.
With Month Of Coordination
A month of coordinator takes your plan and turns it into one schedule for every vendor. Hand over your photo and film times at the first meeting. The coordinator is the person who keeps the twenty quiet minutes for portraits from disappearing when the toasts run long.
The timeline that works is the one your planner and your photographer wrote together, early.

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.
