Your wedding day should feel like a celebration, not a photoshoot. The truth is, the best photos happen when you are relaxed and having fun. After years of photographing weddings across the world, I have pulled together my top tips to help couples look amazing while actually enjoying their day.
1. Build Buffer Time Into Your Timeline
A little extra room between events keeps the day moving without stress.
2. Sneak Away for Golden Hour
That soft light right before sunset always creates magic.
3. Prep Your Getting Ready Space
A clean space with good light makes your photos timeless.
4. Share a Shot List But Keep It Simple
Family formals are important. A long Pinterest checklist is not.
5. Decide on a First Look Based on You
Whether you want to see each other before the ceremony or wait, both choices are beautiful.
6. Stay Present
The best photos happen when you are laughing, crying, or dancing like no one is watching.
7. Drink Water and Eat Snacks
Energy matters, and a quick bite can save you later.
8. Trust Your Photographer
When you relax, I can do the rest and make sure you look incredible.
9. Plan for Weather
Rain, fog, or sunshine all bring something special. Clear umbrellas and cozy vibes can be gorgeous.
10. Remember the Why
At the end of the day, it is not about perfect poses. It is about celebrating your love and the start of your forever.
The best photos come when you are free to enjoy every part of your wedding day. My role is to capture the moments that matter while you focus on celebrating with the people you love most.
If this feels like your vibe, let’s talk about your wedding plans.
