10 Additional Tips for a Happy & Relaxed Couple
10 Additional Tips for a Happy & Relaxed Couple
1. "Unplug" the Day Before On the eve of your wedding, set a rule: no more preparations or phone calls after a certain time (e.g., 8 p.m.). Take a relaxing bath, watch a favorite movie, do something that calms you. A restful night's sleep is the best gift you can give yourselves.
2. Appoint a "Point Person" Choose a trusted and capable person—a best man or maid of honor, a friend, a sibling—and assign them the role of "day-of coordinator." This person will be the point of contact for all vendors and will manage any small problems that arise. This way, you won't have to deal with anything other than your own happiness.
3. Eat Something Light (But Absolutely Eat!) With all the excitement and running around, many couples forget to eat. Hunger can lead to irritability and low energy. Make sure to have healthy snacks nearby (e.g., fruit, granola bars), and be sure to eat a good breakfast and a light lunch. Don't forget to drink plenty of water.
4. Take a Few Moments for Yourselves During the day, "steal" 5-10 minutes just for the two of you, without photographers, videographers, or guests. Retreat to a quiet space, take a deep breath, look into each other's eyes, and tell one another how much you love each other. This little pause will ground you and remind you what the day is all about.
5. Embrace Imperfection Something might go wrong. A flower could wilt, the music might start a little late. It's okay! No one will notice, and it certainly won't define your happiness. Embrace the small imperfections; often, these become the funniest and most memorable stories you'll tell later on.
6. Wear Comfortable Shoes (At Least for the Reception) To the bride: you may adore your high heels, but after hours on your feet, they will thank you for having a second, more comfortable pair of shoes for the reception. Being able to dance comfortably and pain-free will make all the difference to your mood.
7. Pack an "Emergency Kit" A small bag with essentials can be a lifesaver. Include bandages, painkillers, breath mints, safety pins, a small sewing kit, powder for touch-ups, and anything else you think you might need.
8. Don't Watch the Clock Once you've set the schedule and appointed your "point person," forget about the time. Go with the flow of the day. Stressing about the timeline is one of the biggest enemies of joy.
9. Take a Mindful Moment During the Ceremony During the ceremony, take a moment to look around you. See the faces of your loved ones who came to celebrate with you, feel your partner's hand in yours, and listen to the music. Imprint this image in your mind and heart.
10. On Your Wedding Morning, Do Something for You Start the day not with stress, but with something you enjoy. Listen to your favorite music, do a 10-minute meditation, enjoy your coffee on the balcony, or chat with your best friend. Set a positive and calm tone for your day from the very first moment.
Your wedding is a celebration of love, not a performance. All you have to do is be present, embrace each other, and let your happiness shine. Congratulations!
10 Golden Tips from a Photographer for Your Wedding Day
10 Golden Tips from a Photographer for Your Wedding Day
1. Trust Your Photographer You have chosen a professional whose work you admire. On the day of the wedding, let them guide you. Their experience will highlight the best angles, the ideal light, and the most authentic moments. Relax and trust their vision.
2. Organize Your Getting-Ready Space A clean and tidy space for getting ready, whether at home or in a hotel, works wonders for the photographs. Natural light from a window is your best friend. Make sure the area is free of clutter so we can focus on you and the details, such as the wedding dress, shoes, and jewelry.
3. Time is Your Ally Stress is the enemy of good photographs. A well-organized timeline, with adequate time for each stage (preparation, couple's photoshoot, family photos), will allow you to enjoy every moment without rushing. Plan for extra time to account for any surprises.
4. Live in Every Moment, Let Your Emotions Flow Don't try to constantly pose for the camera. The best pictures come from genuine emotions. Laugh with all your heart, get emotional, hug your loved ones. Forget we are there and just live in the moment. We will be there to capture it discreetly.
5. The "First Look" Consider having a private "first look" photoshoot before the ceremony. It is an incredibly emotional and personal moment just for the two of you, away from the eyes of your guests. It also gives us an opportunity for wonderful, relaxed portraits.
6. The Importance of Details You have spent months planning every detail, from the invitations and wedding favors to the decorations. Gather the important items (e.g., rings, wedding crowns, invitation, shoes) in one place so the photographer can capture them creatively at the start of the day.
7. The Couple's Photoshoot: A Moment to Breathe After the ceremony, set aside some time just for you and the photographer. This session isn't just for taking beautiful pictures; it's also a chance to take a breath, process the moment, and share your first impressions as a married couple. The "golden hour," the moment just before sunset, offers the most magical and flattering light.
8. Chaos-Free Family Photos For the essential family photos, prepare a list of the desired group combinations ahead of time. Appoint a "point person" from each family (e.g., a sibling) who can help quickly gather the right people. This saves valuable time and avoids confusion.
9. Move and Interact During your photoshoot, don't just stand still. Walk, hold hands, look into each other's eyes, tease one another. Movement and natural interaction create lively and dynamic photographs that are much more interesting than staged poses.
10. Enjoy the Party! At the reception, let loose! Dance, have fun with your friends, and enjoy the fruits of your labor. The most memorable party photos are those that capture the energy, joy, and spontaneity of the celebration. We will be there to "hunt down" those moments.
Remember, your wedding day is your love story. Our role is to tell it through our images. With a little preparation and a lot of trust, the results will exceed your expectations.
