Every bride dreams of her perfect wedding day, and the anticipation can be as magical as the day itself. But what is that magical ingredient that makes it all come together, and what advice would I, as a photographer, give a bride on how to approach her wedding day?
1. Be the first person to enjoy it the most.

Some additional thoughts...
– With so many awesome people on your wedding day, things can become hectic and overwhelming. Simply cherish each moment and resist the temptation to get to everybody. Instead, be at peace and let them find you.
– Yes, an engagement shoot is definitely worth it. It provides a glimpse into your life before tying the knot, which becomes more precious with time. There are practical benefits too; you’ll have good images for your wedding day and get a feel for working with your photographer.
– Feeling nervous about being photographed is normal, but a good photographer will inspire confidence and create a relaxed atmosphere. The shoot will be natural and fun, hardly feeling like a formal photo session.
– Not being a professional model won’t be an issue. Your photographer should guide you through the process without you even realizing it.
– Timing before the ceremony is crucial. Being fully dressed 45 minutes before the ceremony starts allows for pictures of the bride and bridesmaids without rushing.
– Your hair and makeup schedule before the ceremony is very important. Delays can affect everything, so build in extra time for unforeseen circumstances.
– Being yourselves is not a problem at all; it’s preferable. You look best when you’re relaxed and doing what feels natural to you.
– You and your partner don’t have to worry about being photogenic. When you act naturally and feel comfortable, you radiate true beauty.
– Providing your photographer with detail about your wedding beforehand is helpful, not bothersome. The more information, the better.
