If you want your wedding gallery taken to the next level, there are a few simple ways you can achieve this!

Swipe through to read 👉

Ditch the phones and physically write down your vows! Not only is this visually more appealing, but becomes more intentional. This also goes for any speeches (including your MC and officiant!).

Have real glasses for your reception for any drink! The consistency on the tables will make your reception photos so classy. Water bottles, cans and red solo cups can draw in your gaze and may take away from the moment captured.

Add ribbon or florals to your aisles! This not only elevates any ceremony space, but you can reuse these items for your decor too.

Telling your guests about the dress code is the best way to elevate your candids and cocktail hour photos! It doesn’t have to be black-tie, but a little guidance doesn’t hurt! Bonus if you think outside the traditional route too 😏

Check a couple weeks out from the wedding day to make sure pants, sleeves, jackets and dresses all fit the way you want! You want to breathe, move (dance), and eat without feeling uncomfortable.

Both individuals should get a manicure before the wedding day. There will be close ups and you will never regret the pampering! Clean up the edges and trim up those cuticles!

Have I missed any obvious simple tips? Drop ‘em below!

Swipe to view a few ways you can take your wedding photos to the next level 🔥

Ditch the cell phones and physically write down your vows! Its so much more personal, and makes your ceremony feel intentional. This also goes for anyone making a speech! Paper or books just add a bit more authenticity to the moment.

Glasses for water or drinks elevates your reception photos! Sometimes red solo cups can become the focus in your photos (though I can be sneaky with my angles to ensure thats not the case for most of your images)

Aisle markers such as ribbons on the chairs, or florals lining the aisle can make any space feel more elegant! If you are looking to save some costs, you can reuse these items as decor for your reception.

Tight dresses, tight pants, too short of sleeves, or jackets that don’t button up can make anyone feel less than comfortable! You’ll be in front of the camera for a good portion so making sure you get your sizing properly checked well in advance should be a top priority for everyone!

If you want ring details or close up photos, both partners should clean up their nails! Shape up the ends and clean up the cuticles makes a MASSIVE difference (trust me).

Are there any other simple ways that I might have missed? Drop them in the comments!

A moment for the girlies 💐

One of my favourite moments of a wedding day is the portraits portion of the two of you and your people. It’s a fun way to connect with each other, forget about any nerves, and so many giggles.
