Possible question to ask the engaged couple before the wedding day:
– Where are you going to get ready?
– Would you like to prepare some photos?
– Where will the ceremony take place?
– How long will the ceremony last?
– Are there any rules or restrictions for photography during the ceremony?
– Will you see each other again before the ceremony (i.e. a "first look) and if so, where?
– How many participants are there in your wedding procession?
– Is there a travel time between the ceremony and reception? (If yes, how long)
– Is there parking available at each location throughout the day?
– What is a good contact number for both of you in case of an emergency?
– Can you provide me with a wedding day calendar?
-Who would you like to be in your family photos? (Request a list with full names)
– Are there family situations, deaths or divorces that I should be sensitive to?
– Are there any special moments or surprises planned for the reception?
– What is the most important part of the wedding day for each of you?

This list could definitely grow… but it should give you a great starting point!
