5 things to make your wedding day photos rock!

Every wedding day is unique and it is one of the things that I thrive on the most! But there are a few things that can totally help make your wedding photos amazing!

 

 

FIVE WAYS TO MAKE YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS ROCK:


1. ONE location for getting ready, ceremony and reception! This allows us to not have to factor in travel and it lets us photograph ALL the decor and details before the wedding starts (and with an empty room!)

2. A first look! We love doing first looks, it’s no secret! It allows us to get all the bridal party and family photos done before the ceremony so you can enjoy your reception!

3. Evening ceremony time! When the light is soft and the heat isn’t as bad. It makes for beautiful ceremony photos and still allows us to photograph most of the reception in good light too!

4. Sunset Portrait time! Hands down our favorite time to photograph you two as a newly married couple! I love those glowy golden light portraits!

5. Outdoor ceremony AND reception! I know you can’t predict the weather, but if you are able to hold both parts outdoors, it really makes my natural light loving heart happy! Natural light is so much better to photograph in!

BONUS TIP: FLORALS!! I have a love affair with florals! But seriously, LOTS of florals on tables, arches, and isle ways can really make your wedding day photos POP! I love gorgeous bouquets too-read more about how those can make your day here! You can never have enough florals! If it was me, my entire budge would be spent on florals and photos! ha!
