4 Wedding Photography Tips For Great Photos

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.

Let's freeze this moment in time, together

Solo sessions hit different. It’s not just about Solo sessions hit different.
It’s not just about the photos—it’s the feeling you walk away with.
Like, yeah… I really am that girl🔥🔥
You’ve shared years, built a home, raised little You’ve shared years, built a home, raised little humans… but how often do you pause and document just the two of you?

No matching outfits needed.
No elaborate plans.
Just connection, quiet, closeness.

Because this part of your story matters too:
🤍 The way you still make each other laugh
🤍 The way your hand naturally finds theirs
🤍 The way time has deepened—not dulled—your love

These aren’t “just couple photos.”
They’re a love letter to the life you’ve created, together.

There’s a kind of beauty in motherhood that can’t be posed.

It just is
The ceremony is done, the joy is overflowing… an The ceremony is done, the joy is overflowing… and then it’s your aisle exit. This moment is pure magic—but have you thought about how you’ll move through it?

Here are 3 simple ways to make it your own:

💫 The Kiss, Dip, or Twirl – Some couples share a sweet kiss, others dip or twirl partway down the aisle. It’s spontaneous joy with just enough intention to make it photo-ready.

🌸 Add Some Movement – Petal tosses, confetti, or bubbles from your guests bring color, playfulness, and a feeling of celebration. They also look stunning in photos.

🫶 Just Be You – Laugh, cry, high-five, skip, or simply walk hand in hand. You don’t have to plan every step—just trust the joy of the moment and I’ll take care of capturing the magic.

Your aisle exit is one of the happiest little chapters of your wedding day. Let’s make it feel as joyful as it truly is.
