Thank for checking me out!

I am passionate about capturing love. I get the honor of seeing the couple almost the entire day & I am responsible for capturing & finding those amazing & magical moments for them. I treat all my couples with the love & attention they deserve.

Here is a small list of my top 10 things to make your day the best!

My TOP 10 Tips

#10 Have a planner or someone assigned for day


Having a planner might not be possible for all couples. However not having someone to lead takes away from your attention and day. While good vendors can certainly handle this sometimes the tasks needed will take away from the other reasons your hired them.

#9 Do a first look or work in some kind of contact


Doing a first look will allow the two of you maximum time together on the day of with more room and time for you to spend at your cocktail hour. If seeing each other isn't something that feels right, you can do a first touch or exchange special gifts ahead of time or in addition to of course.

#8 NOTIFY FAMILY INCLUDED IN FORMAL PICTURES


How big you go for family pictures is up to you. You want one giant picture of both sides with the bride and groom? Do you want more traditional portrait breakdowns? Let those family members know this will be happening & where they should wait or go, before the day of the wedding.

My TOP 10 Tips

#7 Have all your details ready to go in one location


If getting all the details together in the form of a flat lay or otherwise is important to you it's best to have all your specialized items gathered for your photographer. This should include your florals and if your florist is feeling generous, extras for styling (delivered just prior to photography arrival hopefully), family or personal mementos, both sets of rings, all personalized stationary and envelopes plus doubles for anything that is two sided. Basically anything you have that you spent money on or were gifted for the day.

#6 Pad your timeline for stress free day


It's always best to plan for those situations you might not see coming. One of the key's to a stress free day is making sure you have ample time to enjoy the amazing day. Some of the most memorable moments in your day are unplanned. Allowing for some downtime just to take it all in or gather together with family prior to the ceremony or even just be able to sit and relax with a snack together should be a welcome idea!

#5 Pick vendors you can TRUST & let go of perfection


You have hired professionals for a reason- let them do what they do best! The investment in your day is important & being mindful of budgets is necessary. Trusting their expertise will allow you to be more present and in the moment on your day.

My TOP 10 Tips

#4 Hold your first kiss for a few seconds


Be sure you hold your kiss for a few seconds to be sure your photographer captures the moment.  Walk slowly back down the aisle and soak it all in together! You are now partners for life!

#3 Plan for a private moment together


Especially if having a first look wasn't for you. You two deserve to have these memories together to enjoy the day, be grounded together alone. Have your photographer spread out your photos so you can take small breaks getting  more variety in your portraits.

#2 Do an outfit change or modification


I personally LOVE an outfit change during the day. It gives you different option for comfort level & gives you both the possibility of having a super fun outfit reveal!
