Expert Tips for Flawless Wedding Photos!

Hey there, lovely friends! Your wedding day is one of the most magical moments of your life, and you want them captured beautifully, and authentically. We get it… You want picture-perfect shots, but being fully present and soaking in every joyous moment is just as important. (How can you do both?!) Let’s dive into some expert tips for flawless wedding photos and truly enjoying your big day.

Wedding Photography

Everyone tells you: it goes by so fast! Your wedding day is a whirlwind of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. That’s why our couples prioritize photography—not just any photography, but the kind that captures the real, candid moments that make your day uniquely yours. We believe in the power of photographs to transport you back to those precious moments, evoking the same emotions and feelings you experienced on your wedding day.

To make this happen seamlessly, we help our couples prioritize what’s important to them and craft a unique wedding day timeline that flows naturally, ensuring your day is both memorable and enjoyable.

(Have you seen our Timeline Tips?? They’re ahh-mayyyyyy-zing!)

Finding the Right Photographer: Your Wedding Day’s MVP

Choosing the right photographer is crucial because, let’s face it, a third of brides regret their wedding photography. After the food, drinks, and flowers are gone, your photos and videos are what remain. And you’re stuck with them! (We’ve been hired for *multiple* wedding day reshoots and, although we’re broken hearted for these couples and more than happy to help, let’s face it: You Can’t Reshoot A Wedding Day.)

Your photographer plays a pivotal role in capturing the essence of your day and will spend more time with you than anyone else!! Imagine a photographer who rushes you from one shot to the next or, worse, arrives confused and timid. Nightmare, right? That’s why it’s essential to pick someone reputable, recommended by your planner and other vendors, with stellar reviews and accolades.

Shameless plug: we’re proud to be recommended by many Atlanta planners and venues. We’ve been named “Atlanta’s Best Wedding Photographer” by Lux Magazine, have 100% 5-star reviews and, though we’ve heard the stories and worked with couples to help remedy heartbreaks they’ve experienced elsewhere, we’ve never lost a wedding photo.

Our dream team is ready to make your day flow smoothly, and our backup systems ensure your memories are safe.

Getting to Know Your Photographer | Expert Tips for Flawless Wedding Photos!

Your photographer’s personality, professionalism, and style matter. You need someone whose personality jives with yours, who is organized, punctual, and communicative. A professional who makes you feel comfortable asking questions and confident on your big day. Avoid horror stories of lost photos or poorly exposed shots by choosing someone who knows their craft (and what you want) inside out.

Preparing for Picture-Perfect Photos

How do we consistently capture all of these incredible moments in one day?! A seamless timeline is your best friend on your wedding day. A skilled photographer (who understands how to pull together the vibe you want on your wedding day) will work closely with you to create a detailed schedule that ensures no moment is rushed or stressed. This is why we create a customized wedding day timeline for every single couple, so your wedding day flows exactly how you want it. (And we get the shots you’re dreaming of!)

Mastering the Pose: Tips for the Bride and Groom

I dare you: look through our photos and pick out what we posed vs moments that naturally unfolded. Our couples tell us all the time, “We can *feel* the emotion in your pictures!! Like we were actually there!”

Posing can be tricky, but don’t worry—how you’re imagining we pose is so different than how we actually pose! In fact, we poss less than we laugh and enjoy fun moments rather than just standing still and smiling.

Whether you’re camera-shy or a natural model, we’ll literally model for you and let you laugh at us. We know you hate awkward silences, and we do too. When it’s time to take those perfect mantle shots, we’ll show you exactly what to do… You’re going to feel comfortable and look stunning. Bet me!

Capturing Candid Moments

While posed shots are essential, candid moments are what bring your wedding story to life. These spontaneous captures let you relive genuine emotions, laughter, and connections. This is why we always keep our cameras up: to catch those fleeting moments without disrupting the natural flow of your celebration. Trust us; these candid shots will become some of the most cherished images in your album.

Utilizing Different Locations | Expert Tips for Flawless Wedding Photos!

Your wedding venue and surrounding areas are treasure troves for unique and visually stunning photographs. Explore the venue’s various nooks and crannies or venture outside to nearby parks or picturesque landscapes. We’re pros at finding the best light and perfect spots, making even the most challenging places look magical.

Want a quick personal story? Anna and Jacob got married at their family church — a building in a parking lot. So we ventured over to a nearby construction zone for this shot. What you don’t see: the black netting we climbed over, the orange construction cones next to Anna, the half-built apartment homes with exposed wood behind them, and the ant hills I was laying in for this photo.

Adding Personal Touches

Personal touches make your wedding photos extra special. Think TikTok trends or items that hold special meaning, like family heirlooms or a beloved pet. One of our couples did this so well! She is a graphic designer and he is an avid hunter. Look at what they pulled together!!! 😍

Group Photos and Family Portraits

Group photos can be a challenge, but with the right vision (and planning), they can be a breeze. This is why I help my clients organize the perfect list of portraits, taking into account family dynamics and ensuring everyone looks their best. We guide you on the best locations and timing, making the process smooth and stress-free.

The Art of Editing and Retouching | Expert Tips for Flawless Wedding Photos!

Editing and retouching are where some magic happens. We know how to drop into our editing software to make your photos look incredible, but also retain the authenticity. You can really get a feel for a photographer’s editing style when you see their galleries. It’s incredibly important to ask for sample galleries to see how low-light environments are handled and real moments are captured (and edited) beautifully.

Once you choose your photographer, you choose how your memories will be preserved. (Speaking of preserving….!)

Preserving and Sharing Your Wedding Photos

This is the last step of our process together… And this is our FAVORITE!!!!!!

Your wedding photos will be a forever priceless piece of your life, and we believe in preserving these memories with a personalized touch. Four weeks after your wedding, we host a Gallery Reveal Party for you, your spouse, (and your parents if they want to come). We’ll invite you into our home and treat you with your signature cocktail and favorite bites while we unveil your photos in a beautiful slideshow. After your slideshow, we’ll help you customize your album to your heart’s content, order all the copies you want, and part with a little gift from us. Your digital gallery will be sent to your email and that stunning wedding album will soon arrive right at your doorstep, ready to be cherished forever.

But not every photographer does what we do. 😉
