Choose a Photographer & Videographer that You Connect With

Literally choose a photographer/videographer that feels like an old friend to you, because they’re going to be with you every moment of your wedding day. This will help you feel more at ease on your wedding day, and you'll be able to relax and be yourself in front of the camera. A great idea is to schedule a meeting with your photographer and videographer before hiring them. Ask questions, share your vision and ideas, and make sure they are someone you can form a connection with.

When you have a good connection with your photographer and videographer, they'll be able to capture your personality and unique love story in your photos, creating timeless memories you'll cherish forever.

Music will be your saviour

This one is a game-changer! Playing music using a speaker during your bridal portraits is a great way to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere. I recommend choosing songs that you and your partner love and that remind you of your love story. Let us know and we’ll make sure to bring a Bluetooth speaker on the day itself.

This will help you feel more comfortable and in the moment, and your photos and film will reflect that joy and happiness. Plus, dancing together can create beautiful and spontaneous moments that will make your photos even more special.


Relax and Focus on the Moment

Look! I admit it, there are definitely a lot of things that can go wrong on your wedding day! It could start raining, or your florist can’t miss an order or this one actually happened: a chartered bus that was waiting on the side of the road to take 50 wedding guests to the ceremony was crashed into by a reckless driver. No matter what happens, it always boils down to this question: how do you want to remember your wedding day? Do you want to remember feeling stressed and anxious, or do you want to remember it as one of the best day of your life!

It’s natural to feel nervous or overwhelmed, but it's important to take a deep breath and focus on the present moment. Take a few minutes to centre yourself, think about your partner, and let go of any stress or worries. When you're in the moment and present with your partner, your photos and film will capture that special connection and intimacy.

Look into your Partner’s Eyes

There are going to be moments during the bridal portrait when you have no idea what to do. That’s totally fine, just gaze into your partner’s eyes. I don’t mean staring intensely at your partner, they will think you’re weird. Just gently looking into your partner's eyes is a powerful way to create intimacy and connection in your wedding photos and film. Take a few moments to gaze into each other's eyes, whisper sweet nothings, and soak in the moment.

This will help you feel more connected and present, and your photos will reflect that special bond. Don't be afraid to show affection or embrace each other - these moments will create beautiful and timeless photos.

Don’t forget to have fun!

The most important tip for taking unforgettable wedding photos and film is to have fun! Your wedding day is a celebration of your love, and your photos should reflect that joy and happiness. Laugh, dance, and enjoy your time with your partner. The more relaxed and happy you feel, the more natural and beautiful your photos and film will be. Remember, your wedding photos are a reflection of your love story, so let your personality shine through and have fun with it.
