Planning your stress-free wedding
As a wedding photographer and someone who got married a few years ago, I understand how exciting but also stressful it can be to plan your wedding.
To make sure you enjoy your day and get the best photos possible to tell the story of your day, I have some tips that I think will help:
Bring the energy on your wedding day
Do it your way! By bringing your unique vibe and energy to the party, your guests will have a blast celebrating with you. Let your freak flag fly and make your big day exactly how you want it to be. This can make for some genuinely epic images you'll want to look at repeatedly.
The wedding speeches
If you're nervous about giving a speech at your wedding, know you're not alone. Standing up and talking in front of an audience can be daunting. Still, I highly recommend having the speeches on your special day. It's not often that all your loved ones are gathered in one place, so take advantage of the opportunity to express gratitude to those who have supported you. Plus, heartfelt speeches can create compelling and emotional photos you'll cherish forever.
Making time on your wedding day
It's essential to enjoy the special moments. Take your time from one thing to the next. After the ceremony, allow people time to mingle and embrace each other. You don't have to go straight into group photos. These moments are precious and should be savoured. If you want some stunning photos later in the day, consider what time "golden hour" will be and factor that into your schedule. This way, you can capture some magical moments in the beautiful light.
Take some time to be alone
On your special day when everyone will want to spend time with you, it's important to take a few moments away to enjoy each other's company. This is also an excellent opportunity to capture some relaxed photos of the two of you together. Whether it's a quiet moment in a garden or a stroll along the beach, these photos are going to make cherished memories for years to come.
Don’t sweat the small stuff on your wedding day
Remember, on your wedding day, the important thing is celebrating your love and devotion to each other, not about everything being perfect. Don't stress too much about every little detail being flawless. Instead, focus on enjoying the moment and cherishing the memories you are creating together. Trust that everything will work out fine, and allow yourself to fully embrace the day.
