Your wedding day goes by so quickly — it’s full of laughter, emotions, and countless little moments you’ll want to remember forever. After photographing so many celebrations, I’ve learned a few simple ways to help your day flow smoothly while making your photos look their absolute best. Here are five wedding day tips to keep in mind:
1. Clear the Clutter in the Getting Ready Suites
Before your photographer arrives, take a few minutes to tidy up the bridal and groom suites. Move water bottles, makeup bags, and any extra clothing to one corner or into another room. Keeping the space clean helps your photos look polished and timeless, letting the focus stay on you, your details, and the emotion of the moment.
2. Have All Your Details Ready to Go
Gather your wedding details (rings, shoes, perfume, invitations, jewelry, vow books, etc.) into one spot before your photographer arrives. This small step saves time and ensures that nothing special gets missed during those beautiful flat lay shots that tell the story of your day.
3. Build a Little Buffer Time Into Your Schedule
The best wedding days have room to breathe. Add 10–15 extra minutes between key parts of the timeline, like getting dressed, traveling to the venue, or the first look. It gives you a moment to slow down, soak it all in, and ensures no one feels rushed.
4. Trust Your Vendors
You’ve spent months choosing a team you love, now let them do what they do best! Whether it’s your planner, florist, or photographer, trusting your vendors gives you the freedom to be fully present. The best photos happen when you’re genuinely enjoying your day, not worrying about the details.
5. Schedule a Few Quiet Moments Together
Between the whirlwind of the ceremony and the reception, carve out a few minutes for just the two of you. Whether it’s a sunset stroll or a private toast before joining your guests, these quiet moments are often some of the most meaningful and make for some of the most heartfelt photos.
Final Thoughts
Your wedding day is about more than perfect timelines and pretty details. It’s about celebrating your love story surrounded by the people who mean the most. A little preparation goes a long way in helping you feel relaxed and fully present, and that’s what truly shines through in your photos.
