9 Essential Tips for Brides and Grooms

9 Essential Tips for Brides and Grooms

1. Enjoy the Day

You should not be consumed with worrying about pictures and details on your big day. It’s YOUR DAY, so do whatever makes YOU happy! Whether that means thanking guests in person or taking candid shots of yourself alongside the love of your life – just make sure to have fun while capturing those moments for posterity (and future kids). There will always still be plenty leftover from this special occasion even after everyone has gone home; don’t stress too much over getting every perfect shot because some great ones can only happen when things aren’t planned perfectly ahead of time.

2. Create a theme and build your wedding around it

To get the best pictures, you need to set a scene. Scenery usually makes up half of any photo itself – including where it’s being taken and what surrounds this venue; a perfect place for your ceremony or reception will give guests something great to take in as well! In order not just rely on surroundings when picking out locations though there are other factors too: Be specific about who is invited so everyone knows exactly why they’re attending (including their role), think through everything beforehand from flowers which flower should be used according-to theme if applicable? Centerpieces go without saying but don’t forget table decorations such as ribbons attached to candleholders filled with votives, candles, or even special candies that fit the theme to help create an atmosphere especially if it’s a themed wedding!

5. It’s All About the Lighting

Lighting means everything to a photographer. Schedule outdoor pictures at the most ideal times throughout the day, and be ready for sunrise or sunset when it comes! If your venue doesn’t have natural lighting of its own (or if you’re shooting on location), make sure that there’s plenty from which to choose with backup lights as necessary – even small LED panels can give good results in certain situations where needed light isn’t available otherwise.

6. Stick to Your Schedule

It’s hard to stick with your schedule on wedding days. You want everything done by the minute, but it just isn’t possible! Hiring an event planner can help in these chaotic times and take some stress off of your back so you don’t end up wasted from running around trying too much or not enough at all – giving yourself plenty of time will make sure everything goes smoothly without any hiccups along the way (and who doesn’t love their photos?). When planning out each step beforehand is important; getting ready takes longer than expected which means providing more cushion room saves lots of heartaches later downstream. Keep this in mind as you make your plan.

9. Get the Right Photographer

Picking a photographer for your wedding is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. You want to pick someone who will give both yourself and guests an amazing experience, but also work within whatever budget restrictions (if any) are set before them- remember we all have different preferences when it comes down to how much money can be spent on something like this! It might take some research into local photographers to find what works best with yours; looking at reviews about each potential candidate as well their past clients’ portfolios or photos from other events they’ve shot could help narrow things down significantly. Once these three steps – deciding which type of artist would suit YOU, searching out appropriate candidates based on criteria determined, and making the final decision- are complete, the photographer should feel like one of the easiest parts of wedding planning!
