Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, with Pinterest boards full of inspiration and spreadsheets that could rival a NASA mission. But even the most organized couples forget a few crucial things when it comes to their wedding photos. Trust me, you’ll want to remember these.
As a wedding photographer who’s witnessed it all (from windy veils to missing boutonnieres, and from timeline chaos to epic dance moves), I’m here to share some photo-focused planning tips that’ll save your sanity and help you create the dreamy gallery you’ve been dreaming of.
BUILDING BUFFER TIME INTO YOUR TIMELINE
You’ll inevitably run behind schedule, and that’s totally normal! But let’s plan for it. Adding a 15-minute buffer between major events like getting ready, the first look, or the ceremony helps us stay relaxed and gives us space for spontaneous photo magic. (Those unplanned candids? Pure gold!)
DON’T SKIP GETTING READY PHOTOS
These aren’t just “hair and makeup” shots. They’re the moments your best friend zips your dress, the last deep breath before your vows, and the tear your dad wipes away. These are the stories before the stories, and they’re always worth capturing.
DESIGNATE A “DETAILS BOX”
Gather rings, invites, vow books, florals, perfume, and anything else you want photographed in your flat lays and put them in one box the night before. It saves time and ensures nothing gets forgotten while you’re getting glam.
PRIORITIZE WHAT YOU WANT
Not into cake cutting? No problem! Want golden hour portraits instead of a big reception entrance? Let’s make it happen. Your wedding should feel like you, and your photos should reflect that - beautifully, boldly, and authentically.
Photos are more than just poses and pretty backdrops; they’re memories in motion. If you’re planning your day and want a photographer who gets the details and the big picture, I’m your girl.
