Arrive before the registrar if you are coming off the A2
Put the ceremony building at the top of the brief for a wedding in Dartford. A civil ceremony is attended by Kent's registration service, unless you are marrying in church, in which case send the vicar's note. Write the start time from the confirmation, then the hours: when the photographer arrives and when they finish. The confirmation has to supply the door.
A short signing and a licensed hall mean different parking and different light. Ask for an arrival earlier than the registrar's clock. Coming off the A2 in the same minute as the ceremony leaves no time for the first pictures. If the meal is in a second place, send that address and how long the drive takes at that time of day. A short register-office signing is often covered in one or two hours, ceremony plus a few pictures outside. If notice was given in a different office, one sentence is enough to say so. The photographer still needs the ceremony building. Match the finish to the moment you must leave. Say whether you want portraits at the door, and only if the parking margin makes them possible.
What goes at the top of a Kent ceremony note?
The building and the start time, then the hours. The confirmation should match Kent's registration service, or your church if that is who is conducting the service.
How do a short signing and a hall differ off the A2?
They use different floor plans and different parking. A short register-office signing is often one or two hours, with a few pictures outside. A licensed hall can run longer, and the photographer needs the finish printed on the booking.
What if we leave for a meal after the Kent ceremony?
Send the second address and a realistic journey for that time of day. One building needs only that address, plus the hours you have it. The drive is part of the quote when you want the photographer to make the trip.
When should the photographer be at the door off the A2?
Earlier than the ceremony, by the margin the A2 and the parking need. Write that arrival next to the ceremony time so the two stay distinct. Pictures at the door disappear if the car pulls up as the registrar starts.
What if Kent notice and the ceremony are different buildings?
Name the ceremony building for the photographs. Mention the notice office in one line so nobody is sent there for the vows. The hours to price are the ceremony hours, unless you have asked for portraits at both stops.
