Display planning guide

Give your photographer a display brief

Help the photographer plan the intended picture without promising a photographic result.

Name the picture you want

“Photos with the letters” can mean a posed couple portrait, a family photograph, a wide reception scene or informal guest pictures. Pick the priority and share it before the day. Your photographer can advise how the illuminated display may fit their approach and the venue conditions.

Include the actual display: colour-changing LOVE, the exact white wedding-letter wording, or the personalised LED heart with its approved text. A reference photograph explains an idea, but it should not be mistaken for a guarantee of the same room, lighting, dimensions or finished image.

A concise brief to copy into your notes

ItemYour decision
Priority imageWho is in it, and whether the full display should be visible
PositionThe venue-approved room-plan location and background
TimeA proposed moment in the running order, with the venue lighting expected then
AppearanceAny LOVE colour preference confirmed for that moment
CoordinationThe person gathering guests and the contact handling any agreed equipment changes

Let each person confirm their part

The photographer can consider composition and exposure. The venue can assess the position and guest routes. The supplier can confirm the equipment, its requirements and any permitted setting changes. One person's photograph advice should not be treated as equipment or venue approval.

Discuss daytime and evening expectations if both matter to you. A glowing display may read differently under window light or against a bright background. The photographs on this website show source styles, not a promise of the appearance in your venue.

Keep the agreed photograph window realistic within the wider event. If the room is being turned around or access is restricted then, resolve the conflict in advance. A clear priority shot is more actionable than asking for every possible angle while the room is changing.
