Wedding Gallery Example
Please note that every wedding is unique, and the photos you see in this gallery reflect the specific moments, style, and participation of clients and guests from this particular day. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
• Candids & Dancing Photos: The energy of your wedding party and guests plays a big role in capturing candid moments and dancing photos. If you’re hoping for a lively dance floor, I highly recommend hiring a DJ who knows how to encourage and engage your guests.
• Photo Quantity: The number of photos delivered will vary depending on how your wedding day is structured. If your timeline is packed to the minute, the variety and volume may differ from a day with plenty of open, unscheduled time. If you’d like assistance with creating a timeline, I’d be happy to help or recommend excellent wedding coordinators!
• Poses & Vibes: Every couple has their own unique style and preferences. Not every pose or shot fits everyone’s vibe, which is why I’ll provide a questionnaire and encourage you to share inspiration beforehand to ensure your gallery reflects your vision. Additionally, the look and feel of your gallery may be influenced by the venue’s lighting, decor, and overall ambiance, as well as the weather conditions of the day.
I will always do my part to make your wedding photos as special and personal as your big day is to you two!
Why do a first look?
A first look is more than just a photo opportunity-it's a beautiful, intimate moment between you and your soon-to-be spouse. It gives you the chance to share a private, heartfelt exchange of vows without the pressure of an audience. Just the two of you, in the quiet of your love, before the whirlwind of the ceremony begins. You are able to take in the moment and not have to feel rushed or hold your urge to let your emotions flow.
This moment allows you to truly take it all in, express how much you mean to each other, and share the kind of sweetness that's sometimes hard to put into words.
Plus, an added bonus? You can choose to do your bridal portraits before the ceremony, leaving you with more time to be present during the celebration of your love!
"Perfect" photography preparation TIPS
Posing Prep
It’s a great idea for wedding clients to practice their must-have poses at home before the big day to help achieve the look they desire. By practicing in front of a mirror, you can get a feel for how certain poses look and make adjustments where necessary. It can also be incredibly helpful to video yourself during your practice session, as this allows you to view the poses from an outside perspective and notice any small tweaks that could make a big difference, such as your posture or the angle of your body. This preparation will not only boost your confidence but will also help you feel more at ease during your wedding photos, ensuring that you look and feel your best on camera.
"Perfect" Candids
For the most authentic and affectionate candid photos on your wedding day, it’s important to always stay connected with your partner. Whether it’s a gentle touch on the arm, holding hands, or an intimate embrace, these small gestures will convey the love and connection between you two in the most beautiful way. Remember, I’m your personal paparazzi for the night, capturing all of those real, emotional moments. The more you stay physically close and engaged with each other, the more those genuine, heartwarming interactions will shine through in your photos. So, don’t be shy—let your love be visible and natural, and I’ll be there to capture every sweet moment!
Lively Dancefloor
If you want lively, fun dance floor photos, don't be afraid to encourage your wedding party to keep the energy high and the party going all night long! Ask your bridesmaids, groomsmen, and guests to really let loose and have fun with you—whether it's by dancing, laughing, or pulling off some silly moves. No one is judging your silliness, so embrace the moment and enjoy every second of it! The more excitement and joy you bring to the dance floor, the more vibrant and dynamic your photos will be. Remember, this is your day, so let go, be yourself, and trust me to capture those unforgettable, happy moments!
This is YOUR day
Remember, this is your day, a celebration of the love between you and your partner. While it's natural to want to make sure everyone else is having a great time, don't forget that the focus is on the two of you and the commitment you're making to each other. This is your special moment, so take as much time as you need to soak it all in together. Whether it’s sneaking away for a quiet moment or enjoying a slow dance, embrace the opportunity to connect and enjoy each other’s company without the pressure of pleasing anyone else. You deserve to cherish every second of this day, and I’m here to capture those intimate, unforgettable moments between you two. This is why I highly recommend private vows, whether you decide to do them during a first look or as a quiet moment before the ceremony. It allows you to share those personal, heartfelt promises in an intimate setting without distractions. Similarly, a last dance can offer another beautiful, private moment to close the night, just the two of you, savoring the love and joy of your wedding day before rejoining your guests. These moments give you space to truly be present with each other, and they’ll be some of the most meaningful memories of your day.
