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.

3. Don’t Be Afraid To Capture Candid Moments
Capture those moments that aren’t posed. These are often the most meaningful and treasured photos. Don’t be afraid to laugh and have fun with your photographer, these moments often make the best photos!

4. Have Fun!
Have fun with your your shots! Make sure to capture the joy of the day, and the fun between you and your loved one!!

 They’re for the days when your baby asks, “What did you look like when you were pregnant with me?”
 Let’s give them something to hold

They’re not about skipping the celebration—they’re about shifting the focus.
⁠
Elopements strip everything back to what matters most: the two of you. No pressure, no packed timeline—just space to be present, breathe it all in, and feel every moment unfold naturally.
⁠
It’s less about centrepieces and seating charts, and more about connection. About choosing a location that speaks to you, saying your vows with wind in your hair, and letting the day flow the way you want it to.
⁠
Weddings are beautiful. Elopements are too—just in a different, slower, quieter way.

I’d love to know … which would you choose?

Their wedding plans may have been paused, but their love story never skipped a beat.

After a pandemic, two sweet boys, and a whole lot of life in between—Stephanie brought her wedding dress out for the very first time last week. And let me tell you… it was pure magic.

No aisle, no guests, no timeline. Just the two of them, golden hour light, and the quiet reminder that love doesn’t always follow a schedule—but it always shows up.

This one felt extra special✨
