February 7, 2023
Ceremony  ·  Photography  ·  Wedding

There are so many things to think of and check off the list when it comes to your wedding, trust me I know!

You’re connecting with vendors, confirming the final details all while trying to remain calm, cool and collected before the big day. Everyone’s priorities are different when it comes to their wedding, but I think we can all agree that remembering your wedding with photo’s to look back on is top of the list (or maybe I am a little biased). Being transported back in, feeling every emotion and reliving the memories is something you want to be able to do for years to come! So, here are my top tips to getting the most out of your wedding photos so you can fall madly in-love with them each time you look back!! 

  1. Get To Know Your Photographer
    Spend time getting to know your photographer and their style. Find out if they have a signature style or editing that aligns with the look you’re hoping for, this way you have knowledge to create meaningful and unique photos.

2. Prepare for the day
 Do a walkthrough of the venue or have an idea of where you may want bridal portraits taken! This will be great to provide to your photographer so they can make sure their shot list includes everything you want to capture.

The Real Story Behind the "Stuff"
For my couples, the details aren't just for show. They're tangible links to the past, little moments of legacy you can feel. I'm talking about:

The delicate heirloom jewelry—maybe worn by your grandmother or great-aunt—that makes you feel wrapped in generations of love. (A moment to pause, breathe, and connect.)
