Free wedding photography, help with form for contestants?

We’re in need of photos for our wedding photography portfolio and so we’re giving away free wedding photography to one couple. We’re creating a form for the contestants to fill out, but I’m having problems thinking of questions to ask. We’re really wanting to get a feel, a vision, of what their wedding day is going to look like because we’re going to choose whoever we can get the best photos with. What questions can we ask to find this out without sounding shallow?

I wouldnt consider it shallow at all, just ask the questions you need. You probably want to show different types of weddings in your portfolio though so it might be best to pick more difficult ones as well as kinds you like.

I would ask:
What are your colors?
What time is it (morning, evening, etc?)
Please describe the location:
What is the theme of your wedding?

Questions to Ask Before Marrying $3.95 Ruby Miller and her fiance, Tom Truby, have questions 1 to 14 almost covered. It’s question 15 that has the Maine schoolteacher stumped: Is their relationship strong enough to withstand challenges? Challenges like…Ruby’s twin sister, Stella. The professional muse, flirt and face reader thinks Ruby is playing it safe. And that the future Mrs. Ruby Truby will die of boredom before her first anniversary or her thirtieth birthday, whichever comes first. Challenges like…sexy maverick teacher Nick McDermott, Ruby’s secret longtime crush, who confesses his feelings for her at her own engagement party. But before Ruby can plan the wedding that may never be, Stella announces she’s pregnant by a one-night stand whose name might be Jake (or James? Maybe Jason?) and who lives somewhere under the glittering lights of Las Vegas. Ruby and Stella hit the road to find him–with a lot more than fifteen questions. And after three thousand miles, a stowaway relative and hitchhiking teen lovebirds bound for an Elvis wedding chapel, the Miller sisters might get some answers.
