How to Prepare for Your Wedding Photos: A Picture-Perfect Guide

Your wedding day will be filled with unforgettable moments, and your photos are the keepsakes that will preserve them forever. To make sure your wedding photos are everything you’ve dreamed of, here’s a simple guide to help you prepare for your big day.

1. Schedule a Pre-Wedding Consultation

Before the wedding, meet with your photographer to go over all the details. Share your timeline, must-have shots, and any specific moments you want captured. Whether it’s a sentimental first look or a family heirloom, this ensures nothing gets missed.

2. Create a Shot List

Help your photographer plan by making a list of key photos you want, such as:

Couple portraits
Family and bridal party group shots
Candid moments during the ceremony and reception

This keeps everything organized and stress-free.

3. Choose the Perfect Timing

Light plays a big role in your photos. Talk with your photographer about the best times for outdoor portraits (golden hour is magical!) and plan your schedule accordingly.

4. Prep Your Details

Set aside small details you want photographed, such as:

Wedding rings
Invitations
Shoes and accessories
Bouquet

Having these items ready for your photographer makes capturing them a breeze.

5. Practice Posing

Feeling camera-shy? An engagement or bridal session before the wedding is a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera. It also helps you figure out your best angles and poses.

6. Keep It Real

Some of the best wedding photos are the unscripted, candid moments. Don’t stress about being perfect—focus on enjoying your day, and let your natural emotions shine through.

7. Relax and Trust Your Photographer

On your wedding day, trust your photographer to guide you. They’ll know how to capture the best lighting, angles, and moments. Your job? Be in the moment and enjoy every second.

Marketing & Design

Okay, your cool blog is done. Now all that’s left is to publish and get readers. Think of blogging as part of your marketing strategy – because it really is.

Blogs help people find you through search engines. But you can also share your blogs on social media platforms to get people ooh-ing and ahh-ing over your work on your website. The goal is to show them around the place, dazzle them with your work, and hopefully they’ll end up booking their own sessions – or signing up for updates! Sharing is easy. Just click “Share” and post to the social media of your choice. Done and done.

Our last notes are about design. Both for your overall blog layout and for each post.

People are visual creatures... but you know that already. A beautiful blog will encourage people to stay & read more! Your blog comes with a bunch of layout options so you can create a gorgeous experience for your readers.
If you write a longer article, try to break up the words with images peppered throughout. Photos make for a more enjoyable read!
If you have extra widgets, you can easily embed them in the footer or sidebar of your blog. Putting in a subscription form, for instance, is a great idea to keep people hooked on reading your blog!

That’s about it! You now know everything you need to make a great blog for your business! Good luck, champ. I know you’ve got this. But if you ever have any questions, drop us a line, and we’ll be glad to help!

Happy blogging!

Xoxo,
