The Power of Love Letters on Your Wedding Day

June 19, 2023
Ceremony  ·  Wedding

Hey there, beautiful bride-to-be!

Your big day is just around the corner, and let’s be real—you’re probably feeling a mix of excitement, nerves, and overwhelming love. We totally get it! But here’s something that can make those emotions even more powerful and beautiful: love letters.

Imagine this: It’s the morning of your wedding and you’re in a bubble of pure anticipation of whats to come. Your heart is bursting and you’re counting down the minutes until you say “I do” to the love of your life. However, before you walk down that aisle, taking a moment to write love letters to each other can create an experience that will leave you both feeling deeply connected and emotionally intertwined.

Love letters are like little time capsules, capturing the raw essence of your emotions and sealing them in words. As you pour your heart out onto paper, you’re reaffirming the love and commitment you’re about to make to each other. It’s an intimate and powerful way to express just how much your partner means to you and to share in the excitement of this incredible journey you’re about to embark on together.

When you exchange these love letters on your wedding morning, it’s as if you’re defying the physical distance that separates you. Even though you can’t see each other just yet, your words become a bridge, carrying your emotions across time and space. As you read each other’s letters, you’ll feel their presence right there with you, emotionally supporting you on this momentous day.

These love letters serve as a beautiful reminder of why you’re standing at that altar. They embody the depth of your love, the strength of your bond, and the promises you’re about to make. They create a space for vulnerability, tenderness, and complete honesty, allowing you to share your hopes, dreams, and visions for the future.

So, my friend, amidst the chaos of wedding preparations, take a moment to sit down and let your heart guide your hand. Pour your love onto those pages, capturing the very essence of your emotions and desires. Know that as you write, your partner is doing the same, eagerly waiting for that magical moment when you’ll exchange these love letters and feel their presence beside you.

As a wedding photographer, I’ve been lucky enough to witness the incredible impact of love letter exchanges. The tears of joy, the heartfelt smiles, and the shared emotions make this experience truly extraordinary. So, my dear bride, embrace the power of love letters on your wedding morning. Let them deepen your connection, reinforce your love, and set the stage for an unforgettable day filled with love, commitment, and everlasting memories.

Remember, even in those moments when you can’t physically be together, your love letters will bridge the gap and make your emotions tangible. So, grab that pen, let your heart guide your words, and get ready for a wedding morning that will be filled with love, emotion, and the promise of forever.

Let's freeze this moment in time, together

Kate Paterson | Vancouver BC Wedding Photographer

One of the biggest things I tell my couples?Slow. One of the biggest things I tell my couples?Slow. Down.

Not just for the sake of your memories—but so you can be truly present in the moment and we can capture them for you.

✨ Take your time walking down the aisle
✨ Don’t rush that first kiss
✨ Hold your dad a little longer
✨ Swirl your wine an extra second
✨ Look around and let it land

These tiny moments are everything. They fly by in a blink—but when you pause, when you breathe, we’re able to catch:
– The emotion in your eyes
– The tear on someone’s cheek
– The laughter from just out of frame
– The wide shots and the quiet close-ups

We move quickly behind the lens—but sometimes, our couples move even faster.

So here’s your gentle reminder: slow down and savor.

You’re not just living the moment—you’re giving us a chance to freeze it, forever.
Wind in the veil, champagne in hand, hearts racing Wind in the veil, champagne in hand, hearts racing.
 You’re still in the middle of the day, but these are the photos that will take you right back every time.
It’s been a while—so if you’re new here, hi! It’s been a while—so if you’re new here, hi! I’m Kate, the girl behind the lens (always tea in hand, never coffee). I’m a photographer based in Abbotsford and traveling all across BC to capture weddings, families, and all the love stories in between.

My heart is in the unposed, unscripted, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it kind of moments. The real laughs. The tight squeezes. The wind-in-your-hair kind of magic that tells your story in a way that actually feels like you.

If you’re planning something special or just love timeless, feel-good photos—stick around. You’re in the right place.

Getting ready photos? They’re not just makeup to Getting ready photos? They’re not just makeup touch-ups and dress zips.
They’re the quiet glances, deep breaths, and little moments that mark the shift from “fiancé” to “bride.”

You might wonder—is it really worth capturing these parts of the day?
Here’s my honest take:

PROS:
→ It’s a slow, gentle start to a big day
→ Emotions are fresh and real
→ You’re surrounded by your people—your closest circle
→ The details shine (rings, perfume, florals, heirlooms)

CONS:
→ Honestly? There aren’t many.

If we plan your timeline with intention, this part becomes one of the most meaningful chapters of the day.
