1. Begin With Intention

Your wedding is a reflection of you two, not a performance.

Before planning details, take time to talk about what truly matters to you both. How do you want the day to feel? Intimate. Joyful. Effortless. Meaningful.

• Talk openly about what matters most to you both (intimate moments, celebration, family, photos, atmosphere)

• Set a considered budget that supports your vision, not outside expectations.

• Choose a date and pace that allows you to enjoy the journey, not rush through it.  

 

Remember: You’re planning a marriage first, a wedding second.

The most beautiful weddings begin with clarity and intention.

​

2. Choosing Your Vendors

The right team makes all the difference.•Choose vendors you genuinely connect with, whose energy feels aligned with yours

• Look beyond price, experience and energy matter.

• Ask how your vendors support you emotionally on the day, not just what they deliver afterward.

When you trust your team, you can relax and be fully present.

​

3. Designing a Stress-Free Timeline

A relaxed timeline = better moments.

Time is the most valuable luxury you can give yourselves.

• Build in extra time for hair, makeup, travel, photos and moments of pause.

• Avoid over-scheduling, simplicity allows moments to unfold naturally.

• Plan intentional quiet time together, especially after the ceremony.

 

Pro tip: The best photos and memories happen when you’re not rushing.

​

4. Preparing Yourselves

How you feel will shape how the day is remembered.

• Rest well in the week leading up to the wedding.

• Stay nourished and hydrated.

• Consider exchanging private letters or vows, a grounding, emotional moment just for you.

​​

Grace, calm, and presence are the most beautiful things you can wear.

​

5. On the Wedding Day

This is your day, soak it in!

• Focus on each other above all else.

• Embrace the unexpected, often, those moments become the most cherished.•

• Take pauses. Hold hands. Breathe.

 

Nothing needs to be perfect to be beautiful.

​

6. For Natural, Beautiful Photos

The most meaningful images come from real connection.

• Trust your photographer and let moments unfold naturally.

• Don’t worry about posing, gentle guidance is provided when needed.

• Stay close to each other during portraits; movement, touch, and connection create the most beautiful images.

• Allow yourselves to feel everything: laughter, nerves, joy, tears.

​​

Your story is already beautiful, it doesn’t need to be staged, just let the photographer capture it. Xx

​

7. A Final Note

At the end of the day, your wedding is a celebration of love, connection, and the people who surround you.

Let go of pressure, trust the process, and allow yourselves to truly experience every moment.

Years from now, you won’t remember every detail, but you’ll remember how it felt.

Be present. Be kind to each other. And enjoy every moment.

 

With love, Your Wedding Photography Team 🤍
