You won't be able to recreate this stunning photograph but I have some tips to make your experience run smoothly and hopefully give you some stunning images of your own.
Before selecting a photographer you should determine what type of photography you want. Do you want candid, journalistic, traditional or posed? Then, search for a photographer that fits your criteria.
Most photographers would encourage you to find photos that you like from other weddings to help them understand what type of style you're looking for.
Invite your photographer to rehearsals. This will allow the photographer to take notes about what will be happening and when.
When developing your timeline for the day allow time to travel to at least one location for outdoor photos. This can be a nearby park, beach or school yard. If your photographer is familiar with the area he or she should be able to suggest a few places.
Share the photography schedule with the photographer and anyone involved in group photos. This will help make the photo sessions run quicker and smoother.
Select someone to point out important members of the family, wedding party, etc. for group photos.
Make a list of shots you would like taken and give that to the photographer.
