Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. It's a day filled with love, joy, family, friends - and often a few happy tears. Ensuring your big day goes off without a hitch and takes some careful planning and attention to detail making it etched into the memory for life. Whether you're having an intimate elopement or a grand hotel ballroom affair, there are some key things all couples can do to help make their wedding day picture-perfect.
- Carefully select your photographer: This is one of the most important decisions for your big day. Make sure you pick someone experienced who is handy with the process of lighting, posing, and ‘how-to-capture-your-authentic-emotions’. Personality is also a key, as you'll be spending a lot of time with them!
- Do a first-look photo shoot: Capturing you and your soon-to-be spouse's reaction when you first see each other on your wedding day makes for unbelievable photos. Find a private spot for just the two of you before the craziness of the reception.
- Make time for portraits: Weddings go by in a flash, so make sure to set aside at least 30-60 minutes for portraits with family and the wedding party. These images will be treasured for a lifetime.
- Pay attention to lighting: If you're getting married indoors, make sure there is ample natural light or set-up lighting. Flattering light makes a world of difference. For outdoor weddings, typically early morning or late afternoon provides ideal lighting conditions.
- Focus on the details: Those little personal touches – your shoes, jewellery, invitations, etc. – say so much about you as a couple. Capturing artistic detail shots throughout the day creates a beautiful visual story.
- Request an unplugged ceremony: Ask your guests to be truly present and enjoy the ceremony sans phones. This allows your photographer to get clear, unobstructed shots of your vows without Bua’s iPhone in the way.
- Make time for sunset photos: The rich, golden glow of sunset makes for absolutely magical portrait backdrops. Schedule 20-30 minutes before sunset for dreamy photos.
- Create a shot list: Provide your photographer with a list of any must-have photos with family and friends ahead of time. This ensures you photograph all of your important relationships while also allowing flexibility to capture real moments as they happen.
- Take time to enjoy the day: Yes, portraits are important but don't get so bogged down with photo ops that you don't relax and soak in your wedding. The best images are authentic moments of joy.
- Have a getaway car ready: Cap off your night with a quick grand exit and fun shots of you speeding off to your honeymoon! Confetti poppers are encouraged
Your wedding day truly flies by in the blink of an eye. Working together with your photographer, you can freeze-frame all of those picture-perfect moments so you can remember and cherish the beauty of your big day for many anniversaries to come. Let's make your wedding photos unforgettable for you!
