To make sure your wedding photographs are truly unforgettable you need to prepare and plan ahead. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your wedding photography:
Research and Choose the Right Photographer: Look for a wedding photographer whose style and approach fits your vision and expectations. My documentary and fine art style wedding photography might be the one for you if you want natural and elegant photographs.
Discuss Your Wedding Plans: Have an open conversation with your photographer about your wedding plans and ideas. This helps them understand your needs and preferences so they can capture your day just as you imagined. I will always meet with you a month prior to discuss timings & preferences, and put you at ease!
Engagement Shoot or Pre-Wedding Session: Consider having an engagement shoot or pre-wedding session. This not only gets you comfortable in front of the camera but also creates beautiful memories celebrating the beginning of your love together.
Allow Enough Time: Make sure to allow enough time for your wedding photography. This means your photographer can capture all the details of your day without you feeling rushed. I will discuss this at our pre planning session.
Just Be You: The most important tip is to just be yourself, relax and enjoy. Trust your photographer to take care of the rest. Enjoy the emotions & nerves, It's all part of it! That way your day won't fly by and your wedding day will remain a magical time in your marriage & lives together.
