Hey there, soon-to-be-married couples! As a Central Florida wedding photographer, I wanted to dive into the wild world of wedding photography and talk to you about how to prioritize what photos to have taken at your wedding. I’ve seen it all in the last 10 years of business, and I'm here to break it down for you on prioritizing those unforgettable moments. So, grab a snack, grab a drink, and let's get started!

  1. The "I Do" Moment: First things first, let's talk about the moment you say those magical two words: "I do." This is the heart and soul of your wedding - so it’s important your photographer captures it in all its glory! Plus, who wants to miss out on that walk down the aisle and all of the emotions you live through in those few short moments?!

  2. Embrace the Love: Weddings are all about celebrating love and having a damn good time while doing it. So, let loose and let your photographer capture those crazy moments on the dance floor. Whether it's grandma busting out her moves or your best friend's hilarious toast, these shots will bring a smile to your face and be something really special to look back on anniversaries to come.

3. Steal Some Intimate Moments: Amidst the chaos of the day, steal a few quiet moments with your partner if you can. These special moments are pure gold for the camera lens. Small, little things in life mean the most after all, and sunset kisses or just hand-holding while reflecting on the day really makes an impact. Trust me, they're worth prioritizing.

4. Capture the Details: Your wedding is a lot of work, so make sure your photographer captures the details that make it yours! You’ve spent a lot of time dreaming up those stunning floral arrangements and you want to remember that intricate lace on your dress. These shots can add depth and tell the story of your day, so it’s important your photographer takes the time to freeze these moments in time for you.

5. We Are Family: Last but not least, prioritize those group shots and family portraits! These are the moments when generations come together to celebrate your love. Cherish the hugs, the smiles, and the crazy dynamics that make your family who they are. I promise these photos will become treasured memories as time goes by.

When it comes to wedding photos, it's all about prioritizing the moments that truly matter to you. While this is a simple list that provides some insight - it’s all up to you on what you want to capture. From the "I do" moment to the laughter, love, intimate glances, and family connections, these shots capture the essence of your special day. So, let your photographer in on your priorities, trust their expertise, and let them work their magic to capture your most amazing day! After all, these photos will serve as your time machine, taking you back to the whirlwind of emotions that made your wedding day uniquely yours. Cheers to capturing the real, raw, and unforgettable moments that define your love story - you got this!
