- Plan Ahead – Set Your Intentions
Sit down with your photographer beforehand and chat about the kind of photos you’re dreaming of. Make a list of key shots you don’t want to miss. This way, we’ll ensure we capture everything important to you without any stress. - Let Loose and Have Fun
Your wedding day is all about joy! Don’t get caught up in trying to make everything perfect—just enjoy the moment and let your true selves shine. The best photos come when you’re relaxed and having the time of your life. - Pick a Photographer Who Feels Right
Choosing a photographer is huge, and you’ll want someone whose style really resonates with you. You’ll be spending a lot of time together, so it’s essential to feel comfortable and connected with the person behind the camera. - Focus on the Details
The small touches matter! Whether it’s your wedding rings, your shoes, or the intricate details of your bouquet, make sure we capture those beautiful little elements that make your day unique and memorable. - Get the Party in the Shot
Don’t forget the candid moments! In addition to your classic posed shots, we’ll make sure to capture your guests letting loose, laughing, and enjoying your celebration. These moments can often be the most cherished. And with a second photographer, you’ll get extra angles and shots you may not have thought of.
- Make the Most of Your Location
If your venue has a breathtaking view, let’s use it! Whether it’s stunning mountains, the ocean, or a lush garden, photos with a beautiful backdrop can add a whole new level of magic to your album. Let’s make sure we take full advantage of the location! - Get Creative – Don’t Be Afraid to Try New Things

Lighting can make or break a photo, so we’ll work together to choose the best times for your photos during the day. Early morning or golden hour light can create stunning, dreamy shots—let’s plan to capture those magical moments! - Embrace the Weather
Worried about bad weather? Don’t be! We’ll come up with a fun, creative plan for any weather challenges. And if it rains, well, a cool umbrella can make for some seriously awesome photos! Be ready to roll with it, and we’ll make the most of whatever comes our way. - Be Ready – Keep It Simple
