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!!

Let's freeze this moment in time, together

Hey, I’m Kate 👋 The face behind the lens and Hey, I’m Kate 👋
The face behind the lens and the heart behind every story I get to capture.

I’m a portrait and wedding photographer based in the Fraser Valley — photographing real connections, genuine laughter, and the moments that make your story yours.

What I do has never just been about photos. It’s about freezing time — the quiet in-betweens, the confidence that shines through, the emotions you’ll still feel years down the road. I want your images to remind you how this season of your life felt.

Whether I’m capturing your business brand, your growing family, or the start of your forever — I’m all in. Because your story deserves to be remembered beautifully.

So if we haven’t met yet… hi, I’m Kate — and I can’t wait to create something meaningful together this season 🤍

No cameras, no expectations—just a quiet moment to breathe it all in.

Sarah and David did exactly that. They slipped away from the bustle, stood hand in hand overlooking their ceremony site, and let the day sink in. The view, the calm, the love—it was everything.

Because sometimes the best part of your wedding isn’t the big celebration, it’s the quiet space in between where you realize... this is your forever.

Sam and Dino brought the perfect mix of romance and connection to this mountain-side session—proof that bridal portraits don’t have to be just about the dress, but about the story, the connection, and the moments in between.
