Work with your photographer to ensure you look amazing! Discuss your most flattering angles and natural poses and opt for natural light where possible. The right photographer will want to document all the different parts and emotions of your day!
Book an engagement shoot – Engagement shoots help you to feel comfortable in front of the camera. They are a great way to get to know your photographer before the big day. We recommend choosing a meaningful location and to wear outfits that complement each other.
Know what to expect on your wedding day – Not everyone enjoys surprises, especially on their wedding day. Your photographer will want to capture everything from bridal prep in the morning to the first dance, sometimes evening reception too. It is important to be mindful of the schedule for the day to ensure that you have enough time for all the key wedding shots. Have faith and trust in your wedding photographer to allow them to guide you.
Feel comfortable in front of the camera – Our next tip is to practice a few natural poses beforehand and have fun with it! Authentic smiles make for the best of photos and we recommend focusing on your partner and not the camera.
How to pick the best photographer for you – Choosing your photographer can be a massive decision. You will be cherishing the photos for years to come, and it’s a big decision ensuring you have the right person capturing the memories for you. Therefore, our final tip is to look through lots of portfolios to find a style that you love, before meeting with potential photographers to ensure you get along well. Ask about what’s included in their packages –engagement shoots, wedding albums or additional extras such as extra shooters or videographer options.
