120 Weddings: Common Regrets & Fixes
After documenting over 120 weddings, I've noticed the same regrets surface again and again. And here's the good news: they're all preventable.
The moments couples treasure most aren't always the ones they planned for. But the ones they regret? Those follow patterns.
Here are the four I see most:
1. Getting ready felt rushed. Solution: Add 30 minutes to your timeline than you think you need. That buffer is where the real moments live-the quiet laughs, the tears, the genuine connection.
2. Vows were inaudible in the film. Solution: Invest in a wireless mic for the ceremony. Your words deserve to be heard and felt every time you rewatch.
3. No moment alone together before the reception. Solution: Schedule 15 minutes after photos, before guests are seated. That breath you take together sets the tone for everything that follows.
4. Felt disconnected from the day because of constant logistics. Solution: Hire a day-of coordinator and trust them. My job is to capture; theirs is to orchestrate. You just show up.
These aren't criticisms-they're observations from someone who's been there, steady behind the lens, watching what actually matters unfold. The couples who plan intentionally and stay present? That's what shows up in the film. That's what you'll want to relive forever.
If you're planning your wedding and want to design a day that feels both authentic and beautifully captured, let's talk about how to make that happen.
